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

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      C1-120 (THO1) - C1-119 (ETHO) Always 79 Ω to 156 kΩ
      C1-120 (THO1) - Body ground and other terminals Always 10 kΩ or higher
      C1-119 (ETHO) - Body ground and other terminals Always 10 kΩ or higher

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result:  1

    OK 

    REPLACE ECM. Refer to  COMPONENTS [11/2016 - ] 

    Result:  2

    NG 

    See step  2

  2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ECM - WIRING HARNESS CONNECTOR) 
    1. Disconnect the connector from the wiring harness connector.
    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      C1-120 (THO1) - C2-13 (OIL) Always Below 1 Ω
      C1-119 (ETHO) - C2-12 (E2) Always Below 1 Ω
      C1-120 (THO1) or C2-13 (OIL) - Body ground and other terminals Always 10 kΩ or higher
      C1-119 (ETHO) or C2-12 (E2) - Body ground and other terminals Always 10 kΩ or higher

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result:  2

    NG 

    REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    Result:  1

    OK 

    See step  3

  3. INSPECT TRANSMISSION WIRE (ATF TEMPERATURE SENSOR) 
    1. Remove the wiring harness connector from the transaxle.

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

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A-17 (E2) - A-18 (THO1) Always 79 Ω to 156 kΩ
      A-17 (E2) - Body ground and other terminals Always 10 kΩ or higher
      A-18 (THO1) - Body ground and other terminals Always 10 kΩ or higher

      HINT: 

      If the resistance is out of the specified range with the ATF temperature shown in the table below, the driveability of the vehicle may decrease.

      ATF Temperature Specified Condition
      10°C (50°F) 5 to 8 kΩ
      25°C (77°F) 2.5 to 4.5 kΩ
      110°C (230°F) 0.22 to 0.28 kΩ

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result:  1

    OK 

    REPLACE WIRING HARNESS CONNECTOR. Refer to  COMPONENTS [11/2016 - ] 

    Result:  2

    NG 

    REPLACE TRANSMISSION WIRE (ATF TEMPERATURE SENSOR). Refer to  COMPONENTS [12/2013 - ]
