| 8. | Disconnect the 2nd clutch transmission fluid pressure switch connector. |
| 9. | Turn the ignition switch ON (II). |
| 10. | Measure voltage between 2nd clutch transmission fluid pressure switch connector terminal and body ground.
Is there about 5 V? YES - Replace the 2nd clutch transmission fluid pressure switch, then go to 15. NO - Go to 11. |
| 11. | Turn the ignition switch OFF. |
| 12. | Jump the SCS line with the HDS. |
| 13. | Disconnect PCM connector B (44P). |
| 14. | Check for continuity between PCM connector terminal B8 and 2nd clutch transmission fluid pressure switch connector terminal.
Is there continuity? YES - Check for loose or poor connections at PCM connector terminal B8. If the connection is OK, update the PCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good PCM, then recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away with a known-good PCM, replace the original PCM.n NO - Repair open in the wire between PCM connector terminal B8 and the 2nd clutch transmission fluid pressure switch, then go to 15. |
