Specification: Below 1?

2.
TEST TCM CONNECTOR: Disconnect the TCM connector and visually check the ground terminals on TCM side and harness side for bent pins or poor contact pressure. If the problem is found, repair it.
3.
If problem is not found in Step 1 and 2, the TCM could be faulty. If so, make sure there were no DTC''s before swapping the TCM with a new one, and then check the vehicle again. If DTC''s were found, examine this first before swapping TCM.
