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
1. Inspect tire
check the tires for wear and proper inflation pressure.
Cold tire inflation pressure:
Using a dial indicator, check the tire runout.
Tire runout: 3.0 Mm (0.118 In.) Or less
2. Rotate tire
Hint:
see the illustration ...
On–vehicle inspection
1. Connect hand–held tester:
connect the hand–held tester to the dlc3.
start the engine and run it at idle.
select the active test mode on the hand–held tester.
Hint:
please refer to the hand–held tester operator’s manual for further details.
2. Inspect actua ...

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 ...
