Diagnosis Procedure

Diagnosis Procedure

  1. CHECK PRIMARY PRESSURE

    With CONSULT

    1. Start the engine.

    2. Select "Data Monitor" in "TRANSMISSION".

    3. Select "PRI PRESSURE" and "TRGT PRI PRESSURE".

    4. Check if "PRI PRESSURE" and "TRGT PRI PRESSURE" have the same pressure value. Refer to Reference Value.

    Is the inspection result normal?

    YES >>

    GO TO 2.

    NO >>

    Replace control valve. Refer to Removal and Installation.

  2. CHECK PRIMARY SPEED SENSOR

    With CONSULT

    1. Select "PRI SPEED" in "Data Monitor".

    2. Check of reference value of "PRI SPEED". Refer to Reference Value.

    Is the inspection result normal?

    YES >>

    Replace TCM. Refer to Removal and Installation.

    NO >>

    Check primary speed sensor. Refer to Diagnosis Procedure.
