ON-BOARD DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM K ON-BOARD DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM DESCRIPTION The self-diagnosis system integrated in the powertrain control module (Transmission) diagnoses mal- functions of the main sensors (input) and solenoid valves (output) and the powertrain control module (Transmission) itself. Malfunctions or intermittent malfunctions are memorized in the powertrain control module (Transmis- sion) to later be output as diagnostic trouble codes. The Self-Diagnosis Checker can be used to retrieve these diagnostic trouble codes. The Self-Diagno- sis Checker indicates a malfunction by displaying a code and sounding a buzzer. When the TAT and GND terminals of the data link connector are shorted with the ignition switch ON, the powertrain control module (Transmission) outputs any memorized diagnostic trouble codes by flashing the hold indicator light. PREPARATION SST 49 801 9 9AO For 49 H018 9A1 For diagnosis of diagnosis of System EC-AT Self-Diagnosis EC-AT selector checker Assembly of SST DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE Inspection Procedure Self-Diagnosis Checker 1. Connect the SST (System Selector) to the data link con- nector. 2. Set the SYSTEM SELECT switch A to position 2. 3. Set the TEST SW to SELF TEST position. Gartner Banana

K ON-BOARD DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM Ill I 4. Connect the SST (Self-Diagnosis Checker) to the SST (System Selector) and a ground. 5. Set the SELECT SW to position A. 6. Turn on the ignition switch. ii 7. Verify that "88" flashes on the digital display and that the buzzer sounds for 3 seconds. 8. If "88" does not flash, check the main relay and 2s and 2Q terminals of the powertrain control module (transmis- sion) for an open or short circuit. 9. If "88" flashes and the buzzer sounds continuously for more than 20 seconds, check the wiring to terminal 1C of the powertrain control module (Transmission) for an open or short circuit. If necessary, replace the powertrain control module (Transmission) and repeat from step 2. 10. Note any code(s) and check for the cause(s). Repair as necessary. (Refer to page K-12.) 11. After repairs are made, do the After-Repair Procedure (page K-21) to verify that there are no remaining codes. Troubleshooting If a diagnostic trouble code is shown on the SST (Self-Diagnosis Checker), check for the cause by using the ch&t related to the code shown.
