and wait at least 10 seconds before performing the next test.

After the repair, perform the following procedure to confirm the malfunction is eliminated.

 WITH CONSULT

1. Shift selector lever to “P” or “N” position.

2. Turn ignition switch ON and wait for at least 2 seconds.

3. Select “SELF-DIAG RESULTS” mode for “TRANSMISSION” with CONSULT.

4. If DTC is detected, go to 

TM-113, "Diagnosis Procedure"

.

Diagnosis Procedure

INFOID:0000000009485425

1.

CHECK STARTER RELAY

With CONSULT

1. Turn ignition switch ON. (Do not start engine.)

and check monitor “STARTER RELAY” ON/OFF.

Without CONSULT

1. Turn ignition switch ON. (Do not start engine.)

2. Check voltage between the IPDM E/R connector and ground.

OK or NG

OK

>> GO TO 5.

NG

>> GO TO 2.

2.

 CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN A/T ASSEMBLY HARNESS CONNECTOR AND IPDM E/R CONNECTOR
