Transmission Control Switch Circuit [09/2014 - ]: Procedure

  1. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (SPORT SHIFT SWITCH STATUS) 
    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
    3. Turn the Techstream on.
    4. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List.
    5. In accordance with the display on the Techstream, read the Data List.
      Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      Sports Shift Up SW Sport shift up switch status/
      ON or OFF

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      Data display is not within Normal Condition range A
      Data display is within Normal Condition range B

    B → See step   8 

    A: Go to next step 

  2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (BATTERY - TRANSMISSION CONTROL SWITCH) 
    1. Disconnect the transmission control switch connector from lower shift lever assembly.

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

      Standard Voltage

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      l44-4 (IG) - Body ground Ignition switch ON 11 to 14 V
      Ignition switch off Below 1 V
      TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION

      *a Front view of wire harness connector
      (to Transmission Control Switch)

    NG → CHECK POWER SOURCE CIRCUIT 

    OK: Go to next step 

  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (TRANSMISSION CONTROL SWITCH - BODY GROUND) 
    1. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      l44-2 (E) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω
      TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION

      *a Front view of wire harness connector
      (to Transmission Control Switch)

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: Go to next step 

  4. INSPECT LOWER SHIFT LEVER ASSEMBLY (TRANSMISSION CONTROL SWITCH) 
    1. Measure the resistance between each terminal of the transmission control switch when the shift lever is moved to each position.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      l44-4 (IG) - l44-5 (S) Shift lever in S, "+" or "-" Below 1 Ω
      Shift lever not in S, "+" or "-" 10 kΩ or higher
      l44-3 (SFTU) - l44-2 (E) Shift lever held in "+"
      (Up-shift)
      Below 1 Ω
      Shift lever not held in "+" 10 kΩ or higher
      l44-1 (SFTD) - l44-2 (E) Shift lever held in "-"
      (Down-shift)
      Below 1 Ω
      Shift lever not held in "-" 10 kΩ or higher
      TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION

      *a Component without harness connected
      (Transmission Control Switch)

    NG → See step   7 

    OK: Go to next step 

  5. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (TRANSMISSION CONTROL SWITCH - ECM) 
    1. Connect the transmission control switch connector.
    2. Disconnect the ECM connector.

    3. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
    4. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Voltage

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A25-27 (S) - Body ground
      • Ignition switch ON
      • Shift lever in S, "+" or "-"
      11 to 14 V
      A25-27 (S) - Body ground
      • Ignition switch ON
      • Shift lever not in S, "+" or "-"
      Below 1 V
    5. Turn the ignition switch off.
    6. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A25-42 (SFTU) - Body ground Shift lever held in "+"
      (Up-shift)
      Below 1 Ω
      Shift lever not held in "+" 10 kΩ or higher
      A25-43 (SFTD) - Body ground Shift lever held in "-"
      (Down-shift)
      Below 1 Ω
      Shift lever not held in "-" 10 kΩ or higher
      TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION

      *a Front view of wire harness connector
      (to ECM)

      Result
