DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE CHART

Step Check Yes No
1 CHECK FWD SWITCH. 
Connect Select Monitor to data link connector, and display the LED monitor.
When the fuse is inserted to FWD switch, does LED light up? Go to step CHECK BRAKE SWITCH.< Ref. to CHECK BRAKE SWITCH , Diagnostic Procedure without Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC). > Go to step 2. 
2 CHECK AWD WARNING LIGHT. 
  1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
  2. Remove the combination meter.
Is the AWD warning light bulb OK? Go to step 3.  Check the AWD warning light bulb. < Ref. to COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY . >
3 CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN TCM AND FWD SWITCH. 
  1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
  2. Disconnect the connector from TCM.
  3. Measure the resistance of harness between TCM and FWD switch connector.

    Connector & terminal 

    (B55) No. 14 - (F27) No. 36: 

Is the resistance less than 1 Ω? Go to step 4.  Repair the open circuit in harness between TCM and FWD switch connector.
4 CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN FWD SWITCH AND CHASSIS GROUND. 
Measure the resistance of harness between FWD switch and chassis ground.
Connector & terminal 
(F27) No. 35 - Chassis ground: 
Is the resistance less than 1 Ω? Go to step 5.  Repair the open circuit in harness between FWD switch connector and chassis ground.
5 CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN TCM AND FWD SWITCH. 
Measure the resistance of harness connector between TCM and body to make sure that circuit does not short.
Connector & terminal 
(B55) No. 14 - Chassis ground: 
Is the resistance more than 1 MΩ? Go to step 6.  Repair the short circuit in harness between TCM and FWD switch connector.
6 CHECK INPUT SIGNAL FOR TCM. 
  1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
  2. Connect the connector to TCM.
  3. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
  4. Measure the signal voltage for TCM while installing the fuse to FWD switch connector.

    Connector & terminal 

    (B55) No. 14 (+) - Chassis ground (-): 

Is the voltage less than 1 V? Go to step 7.  Go to step 11. 
7 CHECK INPUT SIGNAL FOR TCM. 
Measure the signal voltage for TCM while removing the fuse from FWD switch connector.
Connector & terminal 
(B55) No. 14 (+) - Chassis ground (-): 
Is the voltage 6 - 9.1 V? Go to step 8.  Replace the TCM. < Ref. to TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (TCM) . >
8 CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN TCM AND COMBINATION METER. 
  1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
  2. Disconnect the connector from TCM and combination meter.
  3. Measure the resistance of harness between TCM and diagnosis connector.

    Connector & terminal 

    (B54) No. 12 - (H2) No. 11: 

Is the resistance less than 1 Ω? Go to step 9.  Repair the open circuit in harness between TCM and combination meter and poor contact in connector.
9 CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN TCM AND COMBINATION METER. 
Measure the resistance of harness connector between TCM and chassis ground to make sure that circuit does not short.
Connector & terminal 
(B54) No. 12 - Chassis ground: 
Is the resistance more than 1 MΩ? Go to step 10.  Repair the short circuit in harness between TCM and combination meter connector.
10 CHECK OUTPUT SIGNAL EMITTED FROM TCM. 
  1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
  2. Connect the connector to TCM and combination meter.
  3. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
  4. Measure the signal voltage for TCM while installing the fuse to FWD switch connector.

    Connector & terminal 

    (B54) No. 12 (+) - Chassis ground (-): 

Is the voltage less than 1 V? Go to step 11.  Go to step 12. 
11 CHECK OUTPUT SIGNAL EMITTED FROM TCM. 
Measure the signal voltage for TCM while removing the fuse from FWD switch connector.
Connector & terminal 
(B54) No. 12 (+) - Chassis ground (-): 
Is the voltage more than 9 V? Go to step 12.  Replace the TCM. < Ref. to TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (TCM) . >
12 CHECK POOR CONTACT.  Is there poor contact in FWD switch circuit? Repair the poor contact. Replace the TCM. < Ref. to TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (TCM) . >
