DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE

1.

PREPARATION BEFORE WORK

If another “DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE” occurs just before, turn ignition switch OFF and wait for at

least 10 seconds, then perform the next test.

>> GO TO 2.

2.

CHECK DTC DETECTION

1. Start the engine and wait for 5 seconds or more.

2. Check the first trip DTC.
Is “P0962” detected?

YES

>> Go to 

TM-201, "Diagnosis Procedure"

.

NO

>> INSPECTION END

Diagnosis Procedure

INFOID:0000000009759443

1.

CHECK CIRCUIT BETWEEN TCM AND CVT UNIT

1. Turn ignition switch OFF.

2. Disconnect TCM connector and CVT unit connector.

3. Check continuity between TCM harness connector terminal and ground.

Is the inspection result normal?

YES 

>> GO TO 2.

NO

>> Repair or replace malfunctioning parts.

2.

CHECK LINE PRESSURE SOLENOID VALVE

Check line pressure solenoid valve. Refer to 

TM-201, "Component Inspection"

.

Is the inspection result normal?

YES 

>> Check intermittent incident. Refer to 

GI-39, "Intermittent Incident"

.

NO

>> Repair or replace malfunctioning parts.

Component Inspection

INFOID:0000000009759444

1.

CHECK LINE PRESSURE SOLENOID VALVE

Check resistance between CVT unit connector terminal and ground.
