Inspection of TCM and Its Circuits




Inspection of TCM and Its Circuits

TCM and its circuits can be checked at TCM wiring connectors by measuring voltage and pulse signal.

NOTE:

If you connect a voltmeter or ohmmeter directly to the TCM terminals by removing the TCM connectors, you can damage the TCM.

Never connect a voltmeter or an ohmmeter directly to any terminal on the TCM by disconnecting the TCM connectors.

Voltage and Signal Check

1) Remove TCM (1) from vehicle. Service and Repair.
2) Connect TCM connectors (2) to TCM.
3) Check voltage and/or pulse signal at each terminal of connectors using voltmeter (3) and oscilloscope (4).

NOTE:
- As each terminal voltage is affected by battery voltage, confirm that it is 11 V or more when ignition mode of keyless push start system is in "ON".
- Voltage with asterisk (*) cannot be measured by voltmeter because it is pulse signal. Check it with oscilloscope.
- *1: Reference voltage
- For "Ignition mode" described in the following table, it means power supply mode in keyless push start system.
For more details of ignition mode, refer to Description of Keyless Engine Start Function Description of Keyless Engine Start Function.
