On-Vehicle Inspection

1. Inspect the power supply circuit for the intermediate sensor.

a. Set the battery component (ex: battery, battery tray and PCM component) out of the way.

b. Disconnect the intermediate sensor connector.

c. Switch the ignition to ON (engine off).

d. Measure the voltage at intermediate sensor connector terminal A (harness-side).

If there is any malfunction, repair wiring harness between intermediate sensor and AT main relay.
