Mazda 3 Service Manual: TCM Inspection [FS5 A EL]

Mazda 3 Service Manual / Drivetrain / Transmission/Transaxle / Automatic / TCM Inspection [FS5 A EL]

NOTE:

The TCM terminal voltage can vary with conditions when measuring and changes due to age deterioration on the vehicle, causing false diagnosis. Therefore a comprehensive inspection of the input and output systems, and the TCM is necessary to determine where the malfunction occurs.

1. Connect the voltmeter (-) lead to body GND.

2. Measure the voltage at each terminal.

If any incorrect voltage is detected, inspect the related system(s), wiring harnesses and connector(s) referring to the “Inspection Item” column in the “TCM Terminal Voltage”.
