Inspection of TCM and Its Circuits: Inspection

  1. Remove TCM (1) from vehicle referring to "TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (TCM) REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION  ".
  2. Connect TCM connectors (2) to TCM.
  3. Check voltage at each terminal of connectors connected.
NOTE: As each terminal voltage is affected by battery voltage, confirm that it is 11 V or more when ignition switch is ON.
