YES

>> GO TO 3.

NO

>> Repair or replace damaged parts.

3.

CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN TCM AND CVT UNIT (CVT TEMPERATURE SENSOR) (PART 2)

Check continuity between TCM harness connector F16 terminal 13,

25 and ground.

Is the inspection result normal?

YES

>> GO TO 4.

NO

>> Repair or replace damaged parts.

4.

CHECK CVT FLUID TEMPERATURE SENSOR

Check CVT fluid temperature sensor. Refer to 

TM-134, "Component Inspection (CVT Fluid Temperature Sen-

sor)"

.

Is the inspection result normal?

YES

>> GO TO 5.

NO

>> Replace transaxle assembly. Refer to 

TM-259, "Exploded View"

.

5.

DETECT MALFUNCTIONING ITEMS

Check TCM connector pin terminals for damage or loose connection with harness connector.
Is the inspection result normal?

YES

>> Replace TCM. Refer to 

TM-254, "Exploded View"

.

NO

>> Repair or replace damaged parts.

INPUT SPD SEN/CIRC

• Input speed sensor (primary speed sen-

sor) signal is not input due to an open cir-
cuit.

• An unexpected signal is input when vehi-

cle is being driven.

• Harness or connectors

(Sensor circuit is open or shorted.)

• Input speed sensor (primary speed sen-

sor)
