Diagnostic Item 24: Diagnose when the scan tool cannot receive the data sent by transaxle control module (TCM).
 
 
cautionWhen servicing a CAN bus line, ground yourself by touching a metal object such as an unpainted water pipe. If you fail to do, a component connected to the CAN bus line may be broken.
 
 
FUNCTION
The diagnostic result demonstrates that "the scan tool (M.U.T.-III) cannot receive the sent data from the transaxle control module (TCM)" when the scan tool (M.U.T.-III) checks the periodically sent data from each ECU and cannot receive the TCM data only.
 
 
TROUBLE JUDGMENT CONDITIONS
Scan tool (M.U.T.-III) judges the trouble when the periodically sent data from TCM cannot be received.
 
 
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
  • Damaged harness wires and connectors
  • Power supply circuit malfunction of the TCM
  • Malfunction of the TCM
 
 
DIAGNOSIS
STEP 1. Connector check: joint connector (CAN1) and TCM connector
cautionThe strand end of the twist wire should be within 10 cm from the connector. For details refer to .
When checking the joint connector, ensure that its wiring harness side and its short pins are not damaged.
Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 2.
Repair the defective connector. Replace the joint connector as necessary.
 
STEP 2. Resistance measurement at joint connector (CAN1) and TCM connector.
cautionA digital multimeter should be used. For details refer to .
cautionThe test wiring harness should be used. For details refer to .
(1) Disconnect joint connector (CAN1) and the TCM connector, and measure at the wiring harness side.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK (OFF) position.
(3)
cautionWhen measuring the resistance, disconnect the negative battery terminal. For details refer to .
Ensure that the negative battery terminal is disconnected.
(4) Continuity between joint connector (CAN1) terminal No.4 and TCM connector terminal No.9 <CVT>
OK: Continuity (2 ohms or less)
(5) Continuity between joint connector (CAN1) terminal No.13 and TCM connector terminal No.10 <CVT>
OK: Continuity (2 ohms or less)
(6) Continuity between joint connector (CAN1) terminal No.4 and TCM connector terminal No.10 <A/T>
OK: Continuity (2 ohms or less)
(7) Continuity between joint connector (CAN1) terminal No.13 and TCM connector terminal No.11 <A/T>
OK: Continuity (2 ohms or less)
Is the check result normal?
<All the resistances measure 2 ohms or less> Go to Step 3.
: <Either or all of the resistances measure more than 2 ohms> Repair the wiring harness between joint connector (CAN1) and the TCM connector.
 
STEP 3. Resistance measurement at TCM connector.
cautionA digital multimeter should be used. For details refer to .
(1) Remove the TCM, and measure at the equipment side.
(2) Resistance between TCM connector terminal Nos.11 and 10 <A/T>
OK: 1 kΩ or more
(3) Resistance between TCM connector terminal Nos.9 and 10 <CVT>
OK: 1 kΩ or more
Is the check result normal?
Power supply to the TCM may be suspected. Diagnose the A/T system <A/T> or CVT system <CVT>. Refer to GROUP 23C - Troubleshooting <A/T> or GROUP 23A - Troubleshooting <CVT>.
Replace the TCM.
