TCM Power & Ground Circuit
NOTE:
Perform the following procedure if OD/OFF indicator does not illuminate with ignition switch in ON position, and transaxle does not shift to 1st gear at vehicle start with gear selector lever in "D" position.
- Turn ignition on. Using a DVOM, measure voltage (backprobe) between ground and TCM harness connector terminal A15 (Black/White wire). If reading is 10-14 volts, go to next step. If reading is not as specified, repair open in Black/White wire between TCM and circuit fuses.
- Turn ignition off. Disconnect PCM and TCM harness connectors. Using a DVOM, check for continuity between ground and TCM harness connector terminal A12 (Black/Red wire). If continuity is present, go to next step. If continuity is not present, repair open in Black/Red wire.
- Check for poor TCM harness connections at terminal A15 (Black/White wire) or terminal A12 (Black/Red wire). Repair as necessary. If no problem is found, replace TCM with a known-good unit. Retest system.
