1. Connect a needle-nosed wire probe to a voltmeter probe.
  1. Insert the needle-nosed wire probe into each of the engine-A/T-ECU connector terminals from the wire side, and measure the voltage while referring to the check chart.
  2. NOTE: 
    • Make the voltage measurement with the engine-A/T-ECU connector connected.
    • You may find it convenient to pull out the engine-A/T-ECU to make it easier to reach the connector terminals.
    • The checks can be carried out off the order given in the chart.
     CAUTION
    Short-circuiting the positive (+) probe between a connector terminal and earth could damage the vehicle wiring, the sensor, engine-A/T-ECU or all of them. Be careful to prevent this!
  1. If voltmeter shows any division from standard value, check the corresponding sensor, actuator and related electrical wiring, then repair or replace.
  1. After repair or replacement, recheck with the voltmeter to confirm that the repair has corrected the problem.
