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.

    Purpose of the readiness tests
    The on–board diagnostic (obd ii) system is designed to monitor the performance of emission–related components and report any detected abnormalities in the form of diagnostic trouble codes (dtcs). Since the various components need to be monitored during different driving condition ...

    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 ...

    Inspection procedure
    1 Check tvip ecu Check that the operation of the tvip function is normal. Hint: with this inspection, the tvip ecu cpu can be diagnosed if it works normally or not. 2 Check wire harness (tvip ecu integration relay) Disconnect the tvip ecu and integration relay connectors. ch ...
