Inspection Procedure

HINT:

Using the intelligent tester's DATA LIST allows switch, sensor, actuator and other item values to be read without removing any parts. Reading the DATA LIST early in troubleshooting is one way to save time.

NOTE: In the table below, the values listed under "Normal Condition" are reference values. Do not depend solely on these reference values when deciding whether a part is faulty or not.
  1. Warm up the engine.
  2. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
  3. Connect the intelligent tester to the CAN VIM. Then connect the CAN VIM to the DLC3.
  4. Turn the ignition switch ON.
  5. Turn the intelligent tester ON.
  6. Enter the following menus: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DATA LIST.
  7. Follow the instructions on the tester and read the DATA LIST.

    ITEM MEASUREMENT NORMAL CONDITION CHART

    Item Measurement Item/Range (Display) Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
    SPD (NT) Input turbine speed/ Min.: 0 rpm
    Max.: 12,750 rpm
    • Lock up ON (after warming up engine): Input turbine speed (NT) is equal to engine speed
    • Lock up OFF (idling with shift lever on N): Input turbine speed (NT) is nearly equal to engine speed
    Data is displayed in increments of 50 rpm

HINT:

  1. INSPECT SPEED SENSOR (INSTALLATION) 
    1. Check the speed sensor NT installation.

      OK: Installation bolt is tightened properly and there is no clearance between the sensor and transmission case.

    NG: SECURELY INSTALL SPEED SENSOR OR REPLACE SPEED SENSOR 

    OK: Go to Next Step 

  2. INSPECT SPEED SENSOR NT 
    1. Disconnect the T27 sensor connector from the transmission.

    2. Measure the resistance of the sensor.

      Standard resistance 

      TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      1 - 2 20°C (68°F) 560 to 680 Ω

    NG: SECURELY INSTALL SPEED SENSOR OR REPLACE SPEED SENSOR 

    OK: Go to Next Step 

  3. CHECK WIRE HARNESS (SPEED SENSOR - ECM) 
    1. Disconnect the E3 ECM connector.

    2. Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connector.

      Standard resistance 

      TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION

      Tester Connection Specified Condition
      E3-21 (NT+) - E3-20 (NT-) 560 to 680 Ω
      E3-21 (NT+) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher
      E3-20 (NT-) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher

    NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR 

    OK: REPLACE ECM
