HOW TO USE TROUBLESHOOTING/ INSPECTION SERVICE POINTS

TSB Revision

INSPECTION SERVICE POINTS FOR A BLOWN 
FUSE

Remove the blown fuse and measure the resistance between 
the load side of the blown fuse and the ground. Close the 
switches of all circuits which are connected to this fuse. If the 
resistance is almost 0 

Ω at this time, there is a short some-

where between these switches and the load. If the resistance is 
not 0 

Ω, there is no short at the present time, but a momentary 

short has probably caused the fuse to blow.
The main causes of a short circuit are the following.

• Harness being clamped by the vehicle body

• Damage to the outer casing of the harness due to wear or 

heat

• Water getting into the connector or circuitry

• Human error (mistakenly shorting a circuit, etc).

How to treat current trouble

1. Make a note of the diagnostic trouble code, and erase it.
2. Check the trouble symptom again.
3. Check for diagnostic trouble codes again.
4. If a diagnostic trouble code is set, follow the applicable 

Diagnostic Trouble Code Chart.

5. If no diagnostic trouble code is set, refer to "How to Cope 

with Intermittent Malfunction       ."

How to treat past trouble

1. Establish from the customer whether a fuse or connector 

has been replaced or disconnected.

2. If yes, erase the diagnostic trouble code, and then check 

that no diagnostic code is reset. If no diagnostic trouble 
code is reset, the diagnosis is complete.

3. If no, follow the applicable Diagnostic Trouble Code Chart. 

Then check the wiring harness and connector, and refer to 
"How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction ."

INTERSYSTEM AFFILIATED DTC REFERENCE TABLE

M1001013000027

For vehicles with CAN, when DTC which influences 
the transmission data is set to the ECU which sends 
the data, DTC also could be set to the ECU which 
receives and controls the transmission data. The 
table below shows the relativity of DTC between 
ECUs. In addition, the alphabet shows the following 
DTC.

• A: TCL - DTC No. U1400 (Refer to GROUP 13D - 

Traction control system diagnosis 

P.13D-26

.)

• B: TCL - DTC No. U1120 (Refer to GROUP 13D -
