Kia Niro: Dual Clutch Transmission Control System / DCT Control Module (TCM) Repair procedures
| Inspection |
| 1. |
TCM ground circuit test : Measure the resistance between TCM and chassis ground. (Inspect the terminal connected to the chassis ground with the back of harness connector as the inspection point of TCM side.)
|
| 2. |
TCM connector test : Disconnect the TCM connector and visually check the ground terminals on TCM side and harness side for bent pins or poor contact pressure. |
| 3. |
If problem is not found in Steps 1 and 2, the TCM could be faulty. If so, replace the TCM with a new one, and then check the vehicle again. If the vehicle operates normally then the problem was likely with the TCM. |
| 4. |
Reinspection of original TCM : Install the original TCM (probably broken) into a known-good vehicle and check the vehicle. If the problem occurs again, replace the original TCM with a new one. If the problem does not recur, this is an intermittent problem and other part may be faulty. |
