- READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (STARTER SIGNAL)
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON.
- Turn the Techstream on.
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / ECT / Data List.
- Read the value displayed on the Techstream.
- Crank the engine.
- Read the value displayed on the Techstream.
OK
Tester Display Condition Standard Starter Signal ignition switch ON OFF Starter Signal Engine is cranking ON Result
Result Proceed to NG A OK B
B → See step 3
A: Go to next step
- INSPECT PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH ASSEMBLY
- Disconnect the park/neutral position switch connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below when the shift lever is moved to each position.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Shift Lever Position Specified Condition 4 (B) - 9 (L) P Below 1 Ω N Below 1 Ω Except P and N 10 kΩ or higher 1 (RB) - 9 (L) P 10 kΩ or higher R 10 kΩ or higher N 10 kΩ or higher D 10 kΩ or higher
NG → See step 6
OK: Go to next step
- CHECK TCM (STA VOLTAGE)
- Connect the park/neutral position switch connector.
- Disconnect the TCM connector.
- Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition C63-10 (STA) - Body ground ignition switch ON and shift lever in P or N Below 2 V ignition switch ON and shift lever not in P or N Below 1 V
NG → See step 5
OK → See step 4
- REPLACE TCM. Refer to REMOVAL
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (TCM - PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH)
- Disconnect the TCM connector.
- Remove the ST relay from the engine room relay block.
- Disconnect the park/neutral position switch connector.
- Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition C63-10 (STA) - Body ground ignition switch ON Below 1 V
NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK → See step 7
- REPLACE PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH ASSEMBLY. Refer to REMOVAL
- CHECK STARTER SIGNAL CIRCUIT. Refer to Starter Signal Circuit
