Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard (Check for short):

TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION (CHECK FOR SHORT)

Tester Connection	Specified Condition
12{SL1+) -Body ground	10 kΩ or higher
4 (SL1-) - Body ground	^

NG: Go to step 3
OK: GO TO NEXT STEP

CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR(TRANSMISSION WIRE - ECM)

Connect the transmission connector to the transmission.
Disconnect the connector from the ECM.

Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard:

TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION

Tester Connection	Specified Condition 20°C (68°F)
E5 - 19 (SL1+) - E5 - 18 (SL1-)	5.0 to 5.6 Ω

Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard (Check for short):

TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION (CHECK FOR SHORT)

Tester Connection	Specified Condition
E5 - 19 (SL1 +) - Body ground	10 kΩ or higher
E5 - 18 (SL1-) - Body ground	^

NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (SEE ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT INSPECTION PROCEDURE )
OK: GO TO NEXT STEP

REPLACE ECM (1GR-FE)

INSPECT SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE(SL1)

Remove the shift solenoid valve SL1.

Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard:

TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION

Tester Connection	Specified Condition 20°C (68°F)
1 -2	5.0 to 5.6 Ω

Connect the positive (+) lead with a 21 W bulb to terminal 2 and the negative (-) lead to terminal 1 of the solenoid valve connector, then check the movement of the valve.
OK:

The solenoid makes an operating sound.
