Toyota Corolla (E120): Circuit description
Monitor description
The ecm commands gearshift by turning the shift solenoid valves ”on/off”. When there is an open or short circuit in any shift solenoid valve circuit, the ecm detects the problem and the mil comes on. Illuminating the mil, the ecm performs the fail–safe and turns the other shift solenoid valves in good condition ”on/off” (in case of an open or short circuit, the ecm stops sending current to the circuit.).

On–vehicle inspection
1. Check the fluid level
Hint:
drive the vehicle so that the engine and transaxle are at normal
operating temperature.
Fluid temperature: 70 – 80 °c (158 – 176 °f)
park the vehicle on a level surface and set the parking
brake.

Inspection procedure
1 Inspect outer ambient temperature sensor
Remove cooler (ambient temp. Sensor) thermistor.
measure resistance between terminals 1 and 2 of cooler
(ambient temp. Sensor) thermistor connector at each temperature.
Resistance:
at 0 c (0 f) ...
Engine coolant
The coolant level is satisfactory if it is between the “F” and “L” lines on the
reservoir when the engine is cold.
1 Reservoir cap
2 “F” line
3 “L” line
If the level is on or below the “L” line, add coolant up to the “F” line.
■Coolant selection
Only use “To ...
