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.

    Circuit description
    The actuator motor is operated by signals from the cruise control ecu assy. Acceleration and deceleration signals are transmitted by changes in the duty ratio (see below). Duty ratio: the duty ratio is the ratio of the period of continuity in one cycle. For example, if a is the period of co ...

    While driving uphill with cruise control activated, in order to minimize gear shifting and provide smooth cruising overdrive may be prohibited temporarily under some conditions. The cruise control ecu sends o/d cut signals to the ecm as necessary and the ecm cancels overdrive shifting until ...
