Inspection Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Lexus IS F. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. CHECK HARNESS AND TRANSMISSION WIRE (TRANSMISSION WIRE - TCM, TRANSMISSION WIRE (SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE SR)) 
    1. Disconnect the TCM connector
    2. Measure the resistance according to the value (s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance 

      STANDARD RESISTANCE SPECIFICATION

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      E59-15 (SR) - Body ground Always 11 to 15 Ω

    NG: Go to step  3

    OK: Go to next Step 

  2. REPLACE TCM 
    1. Replace the TCM (See REMOVAL  )

    NEXT: PERFORM A/T CODE REGISTRATION  (See REGISTRATION  )

  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (TRANSMISSION WIRE - TCM) 
    1. Disconnect the transmission wire connector.
    2. Disconnect the TCM connector.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value (s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance 

      STANDARD RESISTANCE SPECIFICATION

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      E47-18 (SR) - E59-15 (SR) Always Below 1 Ω
      E47-18 (SR) or E59-15 (SR) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

    NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: Go to next Step 

  4. INSPECT SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE SR 
    1. Remove the shift solenoid valve SR (See DISASSEMBLY  ).
    2. Measure the resistance according to the value (s) in the table below

      Standard Resistance 

      STANDARD RESISTANCE SPECIFICATION

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      Shift solenoid valve SR connector - Shift solenoid valve SR body 20°C (68°F) 11 to 15 Ω
    3. Connect a battery positive (+) lead to the terminal of the solenoid valve connector, and a negative (-) lead to the solenoid body. Then check that the valve moves and makes an operating sound.

      OK: Valve moves and makes an operating sound.
