Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)

Step

Check

Yes

No

1

Perform the diag-
nosis for AT. <Ref. 
to 5AT(diag)-35, 
Diagnostic Proce-
dure with Diagnos-
tic Trouble Code 
(DTC).>

Go to step 3.

3

(B137) No. 9 — (B55) No. 19:

Is the resistance less than 1 
Ω?

Go to step 4.

Repair the open 
circuit of harness 
between ECM and 
TCM.

4

CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND 
TCM.
Measure the resistance between ECM and 
chassis ground.

Connector & terminal

(B137) No. 9 — Chassis ground:

Is the resistance more than 1 
M

Ω?

Repair the poor 
contact in ECM 
and TCM connec-
tor.

Repair the ground 
short circuit of har-
ness between 
ECM and TCM.

5

CHECK INPUT SIGNAL OF ECM.
1) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
2) Place the shift lever in neutral.
3) Measure the voltage between ECM and 
chassis ground.

Connector & terminal
