  5. DETECT MALFUNCTIONING ITEM 

    Check the following items:

    • Harness for short or open between ignition switch and TCM (Main harness)
    • Ignition switch and fuse

      Refer to "POWER SUPPLY ROUTING CIRCUIT ".

    OK or NG

    1. OK: GO TO 6.
    2. NG: Repair or replace damaged parts.
  6. CHECK A/T FLUID TEMPERATURE SENSOR WITH TERMINAL CORD ASSEMBLY 
    1. Turn ignition switch to OFF position.
    2. Disconnect terminal cord assembly connector in engine compartment.
    3. Check resistance between terminal cord assembly F30 terminals 6 and 7 (component side) when A/T is cold.
