General Description
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (DIAGNOSTICS)
3. General Description
A: CAUTION
•SRS AIRBAG SYSTEM
The airbag system wiring harness is routed near
the TCM.
CAUTION:
•All air bag system wiring harnesses and con-
nectors are colored yellow. Do not use an elec-
tric test equipment to check these circuits.
•Be careful not to damage the airbag system
wiring harness when performing diagnostics or
servicing the TCM.
•MEASUREMENT
When measuring the voltage and resistance of the
ECM, TCM or each sensor, use a tapered pin with
a diameter of less than 0.64 mm (0.025 in) in order
to avoid poor contact. Do not insert a pin of more
than 0.65 mm (0.026 in) diameter.
B: INSPECTION
1. BATTERY
Measure the battery voltage and specific gravity of
electrolyte.
Standard voltage: 12 V or more
Specific gravity: 1.260 or more
2. TRANSMISSION GROUND
Make sure that the ground terminal bolt is tightened
securely.
Tightening torque:
13 N·m (1.3 kgf-m, 9.4 ft-lb)
3. ATF LEVEL
Make sure that ATF level is the specified amount.
4. FRONT DIFFERENTIAL OIL LEVEL
Make sure the front differential oil level is the spec-
ified amount.
