2.

CHECK OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT

1. Turn ignition switch OFF.

2. Check the continuity between the output speed sensor harness connector and ground.

Is the check result normal?

YES 

>> GO TO 3.

NO

>> Check or repair the malfunction items.

3.

CHECK OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT (CHECK 1)

1. Disconnect the TCM connector.

2. Check the continuity between the output speed sensor harness connector and the TCM harness connec-

tor.

Is the check result normal?

YES 

>> GO TO 4.

NO

>> Check or repair the malfunction items.

4.

CHECK OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT (CHECK 2)

Check the continuity between the output speed sensor harness connector and ground.

Is the check result normal?

YES 

>> GO TO 5.

NO

>> Check or repair the malfunction items.

5.

CHECK OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR SIGNAL

1. Connect all of the disconnected connectors.

2. Lift the vehicle.

3. Start the engine.

4. Check the frequency of the output speed sensor.

Is the check result normal?

YES 

>> Perform a simulation test to judge the cause of the malfunction. Refer to 

GI-45, "Intermittent Inci-

dent"

. 

NO

>> Replace the output speed sensor. Refer to
