Toyota Corolla (E120): Circuit description
The purpose of this circuit is to prevent the engine from stalling while driving in lock–up condition, when brakes are suddenly applied.
When the brake pedal is depressed, this switch sends a signals to the ecm. Then the ecm cancels the operation of the lock–up clutch while braking is in progress.
Monitor description
The circuit prevents the engine from stopping when the vehicle is stopped by sudden braking when the torque converter clutch is in the ”lock–up” mode. The ecm receives the signal from the stop light switch at the time brake pedal is depressed. Then, the ecm sends the signal to the lock–up solenoid valve not to be in lock–up condition. When the stop light switch remains on during ”stop and go” driving, the ecm interprets this as a fault in the stop light switch and the mil comes on. The vehicle must stop and go (3 km/h (2 mph) to 30 km/h (19 mph)) ten times for two driving cycles in order to detect malfunction.

On–vehicle inspection
1. Inspect refrigerant pressure with manifold gauge set
this is a method in witch the trouble is located by using
a manifold gauge set. Read the manifold gauge pressure
when the these conditions are established.
Test conditions:
temperature at the air inlet with the switch set

Inspection procedure
Hint:
read freeze frame data using the hand-held tester or the obd ii scan tool.
Freeze frame data records the
engine conditions when a malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, it is
useful for determining whether
the vehicle was running or stopped, the engine was warmed up or not, the ...
Air conditioning filter
The air conditioning filter
must be changed regularly
to maintain air conditioning
efficiency.
Removing the air conditioning
filter
1. Turn the engine switch off.
2. Open the glove box. Slide off
the damper (if equipped).
3. Push in the glove box on the
vehicle's outer side to disconnect
the claws ...
