DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE WITH DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC)

Step

Value

Yes

No

1

CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN 
TCM AND TRANSMISSION.
1) Turn ignition switch to OFF.
2) Disconnect connector from TCM and trans-

mission.

3) Measure resistance of harness between 

TCM and transmission connector.

Connector & terminal

(B55) No. 24 — (B11) No. 19:

Is the measured value less than the speci-
fied value?

1 

Ω

Go to step 2.

Repair open circuit 
in harness 
between TCM and 
transmission con-
nector.

2

CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN 
TCM AND TRANSMISSION.
Measure resistance of harness between TCM 
and transmission connector.

Connector & terminal

(B54) No. 19 — (B11) No. 20:

Is the measured value less than the specified 
value?

1 

Ω

Go to step 3.

Repair open circuit 
in harness 
between TCM and 
transmission, and 
poor contact in 
coupling connec-
tor.

3

CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN 
TCM AND TRANSMISSION.
Measure resistance of harness between TCM
