CONSULT-II Function (TCM): Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
CONSULT-II can display each diagnostic item using the diagnostic test modes shown following.
TCM DIAGNOSTIC MODE DESCRIPTION
| TCM diagnostic mode | Description |
|---|---|
| WORK SUPPORT | Supports inspections and adjustments. Commands are transmitted to the TCM for setting the status suitable for required operation, input/output signals are received from the TCM and received data is displayed. |
| SELF-DIAG RESULTS | Displays TCM self-diagnosis results. |
| DATA MONITOR | Displays TCM input/output data in real time. |
| CAN DIAG SUPPORT MNTR | The result of transmit/receive diagnosis of CAN communication can be read. |
| ACTIVE TEST | Operation of electrical loads can be checked by sending drive signal to them. |
| FUNCTION TEST | Conducted by CONSULT-II instead of a technician to determine whether each system is "OK" or "NG". |
| ECU PART NUMBER | TCM part number can be read. |
CAUTION:
If CONSULT-II is used with no connection of CONSULT-II CONVERTER, malfunctions might be detected in self-diagnosis depending on control unit which carries out CAN communication.
After performing "SELF-DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE (WITH CONSULT-II)" ( , "SELF-DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE (WITH CONSULT-II) "), place check marks for results on the "Diagnostic Worksheet", , "DIAGNOSTIC WORKSHEET ".
NOTE:
- The CONSULT-II electrically displays shift timing and lock-up timing (that is, operation timing of each solenoid).
Check for time difference between actual shift timing and the CONSULT-II display. If the difference is noticeable, mechanical parts (except solenoids, sensors, etc.) may be malfunctioning. Check mechanical parts using applicable diagnostic procedures.
- Shift schedule (which implies gear position) displayed on CONSULT-II and that indicated in Service Information may differ slightly. This occurs because of the following reasons:
- Actual shift schedule has more or less tolerance or allowance,
- Shift schedule indicated in Service Manual refers to the point where shifts start, and
- Gear position displayed on CONSULT-II indicates the point where shifts are completed.
- Shift solenoid valve "A" or "B" is displayed on CONSULT-II at the start of shifting. Gear position is displayed upon completion of shifting (which is computed by TCM).
- Additional CONSULT-II information can be found in the Operation Manual supplied with the CONSULT-II unit.
