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.

On–vehicle inspection
1. Check play of accelerator auto drive cable assy
Push the wire into the cable so as not to move the throttle
link and put a mark on the position shown in the illustration.
Pull the wire and check the moved distance of the mark.
2. Adjust play in acce ...
Eco drive mode (if equipped)
Press the switch.
Suitable for enhancing the fuel economy, because the torque corresponding to
the accelerator pedal depression amount can be generated more smoothly than it is
in normal conditions and the operation of the air conditioning system (heating/cooling)
will be minimized.
