Toyota Corolla (E120): Circuit description
When driving uphill under cruise control, in order to reduce the number of shifting due to on–off overdrive operation and to provide smooth driving, when down shifting in the electronically controlled transmission occurs, a signal to prevent upshift until the end of the uphill slope is sent from the cruise control ecu assy to the electronically controlled transmission.
Terminal ect of the cruise control ecu assy detects the shift change signal (output to electronically controlled transmission no.2 Solenoid) from the ecm.
If the vehicle slows down, also when terminal ect of the cruise control ecu assy receives down shifting signal, it sends a signal from terminal od to ecm to cut overdrive until the end of the uphill slope, and the number of gear shifts are reduced and gear shift points in the electronically controlled transmission are changed.

Inspection procedure
Hint:
hand–held tester only:
narrowing down the trouble area is possible by performing ”a/f control” active
test (heated oxygen
sensor or other trouble areas can be distinguished).
Perform active test using hand–held tester (a/f control).
Hint:
”a/f control” is the active te ...

Inspection procedure
1 Inspect terminal voltage(od – body ground)
Disconnect the cruise control ecu connector.
turn the ignition switch to the on position.
measure the voltage between terminal od of cruise control
ecu and body ground.
Standard:
2 Inspect terminal voltage(od1 – bod ...
