CHECK HARNESS .
1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2. Disconnect the TCM connector.
3. Measure the resistance of harness between TCM connector and chassis ground.
  Connector & terminal
  
  (T10) No. 1 - Chassis ground:
  
  (T10) No. 6 - Chassis ground:
Is the resistance 1 MΩ or more?

Yes : Go to 3.

No : Go to 2.
CHECK HARNESS INSIDE TRANSMISSION .
CAUTION: Start work after ATF cools down.
1. Remove the transmission valve cover.
2. Check for the harness pinch, damage.
Is the check result OK?

Yes : Go to 3.

No : Replace the transmission harness.
CHECK ATF TEMPERATURE SENSOR .
Measure the resistance between TCM connectors.

Connector & terminal

(T10) No. 1 - (T10) No. 6:

NOTE: Perform the measurements using multiple oil temperatures.

Is resistance as follows?

Fluid temperature 0°C → Approx. 6.0 kΩ

Fluid temperature 20°C → Approx. 2.5 kΩ

Fluid temperature 80°C → Approx. 330 Ω

Yes : Replace the TCM. Ref. to CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION (TR580 CROSSTREK)>TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (TCM) .

No : Replace the control valve body. Ref. to CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION (TR580 CROSSTREK)>CONTROL VALVE BODY .
