Do the current condition(s) match the threshold?

     
YES
     
     
     
The failure is duplicated. Go to step 2.
     
NO
     
     
     
Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for an intermittent short to ground in the TATF wire between the transmission fluid temperature sensor and the PCM. If the freeze data/on-board snapshot of this DTC is recorded, try to reproduce the failure under the same conditions with the freeze data/on-board snapshot.?

?1.
Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

?2.
Disconnect the following connector.
Solenoid wire harness A 8P connector

?3.
Connect terminals A and B with a jumper wire.
Terminal A
Solenoid wire harness A 8P connector (female terminals) No. 7 :

Faulty transmission fluid temperature sensor. Replace solenoid wire harness A.?
     
NO
     
     
     
The transmission fluid temperature sensor is OK. Repair an open in the SG2 wire between the solenoid wire harness A and the PCM.?
4.
Open wire check (TATF line):

Open wire check (TATF line)
?1.
Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

?2.
Jump the SCS line with the HDS, and wait more than 1 minute.
NOTE: This step must be done to protect the PCM from damage.


?3.
Disconnect the following connector.
PCM connector C (51P)

?4.
Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.
Test condition
Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
 
Solenoid wire harness A 8P connector: disconnected
 
PCM connector C (51P): disconnected
Test point 1
Solenoid wire harness A 8P connector (female terminals) No. 7 :
Test point 2
PCM connector C (51P) No. 37


Is there continuity?

     
YES
     
     
     
The TATF wire is OK. Check for any authorized service information related to the DTCs or symptoms you are troubleshooting, or replace the original PCM.?
     
NO
     
     
     
Repair an open in the TATF wire between the solenoid wire harness A and the PCM.?
