TC and CG Terminal Circuit: Procedure

  1. INSPECT DLC3 (TC AND CG TERMINAL) 
    1. Turn the ignition switch on (IG).

    2. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard voltage

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      D20-13 (TC) - Body ground Ignition switch on (IG) 10 to 14 V
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      D20-4 (CG) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω

    NG → See step   4 

    OK: Go to next step 

  2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ECM TO DLC3) 
    1. Disconnect the ECM connector.

    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A55-27 (TC) - D20-13 (TC) Always Below 1 Ω
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      D20-13 (TC) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (TC TERMINAL CIRCUIT) 

    OK: Go to next step 

  3. CHECK CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM 
    1. Check if the CAN communication system DTC is output. Refer to DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM .

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      DTC is not output A
      DTC is output B

      HINT: 

      If troubleshooting has been carried out according to the Problem Symptoms Table, refer back to the table and proceed to the next step before replacing the part. Refer to PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE .

    B → REPAIR CIRCUIT INDICATED BY OUTPUT CODE 

    A → REPLACE ABS & TRACTION ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY 

  4. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ECM TO DLC3) 
    1. Disconnect the ECM connector.

    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A55-27 (TC) - D20-13 (TC) Always Below 1 Ω
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      D20-13 (TC) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (TC CIRCUIT) 

    OK: Go to next step 

  5. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (DLC3 TO BODY GROUND) 
    1. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      D20-4 (CG) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (GND CIRCUIT) 

    OK: Go to next step 

  6. CHECK ECM (DLC3 (TC) INPUT) 
    1. Using SST, connect the terminals TC and CG of the DLC3.

      • SST: 09843-18040 
    2. Check that the engine warning light is blinking.

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      Engine warning light is blinking A
      Engine warning light is not blinking B

    B → REPLACE ECM 

    A: Go to next step 

  7. CHECK CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM 
    1. Check if the CAN communication system DTC is output. Refer to DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM .

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      DTC is not output A
      DTC is output B

      HINT: 

      If troubleshooting has been carried out according to the Problem Symptoms Table, refer back to the table and proceed to the next step before replacing the part. Refer to PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE .

    B → REPAIR CIRCUIT INDICATED BY OUTPUT CODE 

    A → REPLACE ABS & TRACTION ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY
