DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE

CAUTION:
Always drive vehicle at a safe speed.

NOTE:
If "DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE" has been previously performed, always turn ignition switch OFF.
Then wait at least 10 seconds before performing the next test.
1.CHECK DTC DETECTION
With CONSULT-III

  1. Start engine.
  2. Drive vehicle for at least 5 consecutive seconds.
  3. Perform "SELF-DIAG RESULTS" mode for "TRANSMISSION". With GST

Follow the procedure "With CONSULT-III".
Is "P1777 STEP MOTR CIRC" detected?
YES >> Go to Diagnosis Procedure.
NO >> Check intermittent incident. Refer to See: Testing and Inspection\Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview\Service Information For Electrical Incident\Intermittent Incident.

Diagnosis Procedure
1.CHECK STEP MOTOR CIRCUIT

  

  1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
  2. Disconnect TCM harness connector.
  3. Check resistance between TCM harness connector F16 terminal 27, 29 and 28, 30.

  

  

  1. Check resistance between TCM harness connector F16 terminal 27, 28, 29, 30 and ground.

  

Is the Inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 5.
NO >> GO TO 2.
2.CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN TCM AND CVT UNIT (STEP MOTOR) (PART 1)

  

  1. Disconnect CVT unit harness connector.
  2. Check continuity between TCM harness connector F16 (A) terminal 27, 28, 29, 30 and CVT unit harness connector F46 (B) terminal 9, 8, 7, 6.

  

Is the Inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 3.
NO >> Repair or replace damaged parts.
3.CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN TCM AND CVT UNIT (STEP MOTOR) (PART 2)

  

Check continuity between TCM harness connector F16 terminal 27, 28, 29, 30 and ground.

  

Is the Inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 4.
NO >> Repair or replace damaged parts.
4.CHECK STEP MOTOR
Check step motor. Refer to Component Inspection (Step Motor).
Is the Inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 5.
NO >> Replace transaxle assembly. Refer to See: Transmission and Drivetrain\Continuously Variable Transmission/Transaxle\Service and Repair\CVT RE0F09B\Transaxle Assembly\Exploded View.
5.DETECT MALFUNCTIONING ITEMS
Check TCM connector pin terminals for damage or loose connection with harness connector.
Is the Inspection result normal?
YES >> Replace TCM. Refer to See: Powertrain Management\Transmission Control Systems\Control Module, CVT\Service and Repair\CVT RE0F09B\Exploded View.
NO >> Repair or replace damaged parts.

Component Inspection (Step Motor)
1.CHECK STEP MOTOR

  

  1. Check resistance between CVT unit terminal 6, 8 and 7, 9.

  

  

  1. Check resistance between CVT unit terminal 6, 7, 8, 9 and ground.

  

Is the Inspection result normal?
YES >> Inspection END
NO >> Replace transaxle assembly. Refer to See: Transmission and Drivetrain\Continuously Variable Transmission/Transaxle\Service and Repair\CVT RE0F09B\Transaxle Assembly\Exploded View.
