DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE

1.

PREPARATION BEFORE WORK

If another "DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE" occurs just before, turn ignition switch OFF and wait for at

least 10 seconds, then perform the next test.

>> GO TO 2.

2.

PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE

1. Start the engine and wait for 10 seconds or more.

2. Check the first trip DTC.
Is “P0712” detected?

YES

>> Go to 

TM-112, "Diagnosis Procedure"

.

NO

>> INSPECTION END

Diagnosis Procedure

INFOID:0000000009177569

1.

CHECK CIRCUIT BETWEEN TCM AND CVT UNIT

1. Turn ignition switch OFF.

2. Disconnect TCM connector and CVT unit connector. 

3. Check continuity between TCM harness connector terminal and ground.

Is the inspection result normal?

YES

>> GO TO 2.

NO

>> Repair or replace malfunctioning part.

2.

CHECK TERMINAL CODE ASSEMBLY

Check continuity between CVT unit connector terminal and ground

Is the inspection result normal?

YES

>> GO TO 3.

NO

>> Replace transaxle assembly. Refer to 

TM-214, "Removal and Installation"

.

3.

CHECK CVT FLUID TEMPERATURE SENSOR
