MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The NC3 terminal of the ECM detects a pulse signal from the transmission revolution sensor (NC3) (input RPM). The ECM calculates gear shifts comparing the transmission revolution sensor (NT) with the transmission revolution sensors (NC3 and SP2).

While the vehicle is being driven in 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th or 7th gear with the shift lever in D, if the No. 3 clutch drum speed is less than 300 rpm* when the output shaft speed is 32 km/h (19.89 mph) or more, the ECM determines that there is a malfunction, illuminates the MIL and stores a DTC.

*: Pulse is not output or is irregularly output.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN

CAUTION:

When performing the confirmation driving pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.

Tech Tips

After repairs have been completed, clear the DTCs and then check that the vehicle has returned to normal by performing the following All Readiness check procedure.


  1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

  2. Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the GTS on.

  3. Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).

  4. Turn the engine switch off and wait for 2 minutes or more.

  5. Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the GTS on.

  6. Start the engine.

  7. Perform the D Position Shift Test inspection in Road Test.

  8. Stop the vehicle.

  9. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Transmission / Utility / All Readiness.

  10. Input the DTC: P276512, P276514 or P276531.

  11. Check the DTC judgment result.

    GTS Display Description
    NORMAL
    • DTC judgment completed

    • System normal

    ABNORMAL
    • DTC judgment completed

    • System abnormal

    INCOMPLETE
    • DTC judgment not completed

    • Perform driving pattern after confirming DTC enabling conditions

    N/A
    • Unable to perform DTC judgment

    • Number of DTCs which do not fulfill DTC preconditions has reached ECU memory limit

    Tech Tips


    • If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.

    • If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.

    • If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE or N/A, perform the Confirmation Driving Pattern and check the DTC judgment result again.

  1. DATA LIST

    Note

    In the table below, the values listed under "Normal Condition" are reference values. Do not depend solely on these reference values when deciding whether a part is faulty or not.

    Tech Tips

    Using the GTS to read the Data List allows the values or states of switches, sensors, actuators and other items to be read without removing any parts. This non-intrusive inspection can be very useful because intermittent conditions or signals may be discovered before parts or wiring is disturbed. Reading the Data List information early in troubleshooting is one way to save diagnostic time.


    1. Warm up the engine.

    2. Turn the engine switch off.

    3. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    4. Turn the engine switch on (IG).

    5. Turn the GTS on.

    6. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Transmission / Data List.

    7. Read the Data List according to the display on the GTS.


      Powertrain > Transmission > Data List
      Tester Display Measurement Item Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      NC3 Sensor Speed No. 3 clutch drum speed

      Min.: 0 rpm

      Max.: 12750 rpm


      • 0 rpm: 2nd or 8th gear

      • Above 0 rpm: 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th or 7th gear

      Data is displayed in increments of 50 rpm.

      Tech Tips


      • NC3 Sensor Speed is always 0 while driving: Open or short in the sensor or circuit.

      • NC3 Sensor Speed is always more than 0 and less than 300 rpm while driving the vehicle at 32 km/h (19.89 mph) or more: Sensor malfunction, improper installation, or intermittent connection malfunction of the circuit.
