Toyota Corolla (E120): System description
The ecm uses signals from the vehicle speed sensor and crankshaft position sensor to detect the actual gear position (1st, 2nd, 3rd or o/d gear).
Then the ecm compares the actual gear with the shift schedule in the ecm memory to detect the mechanical trouble of the shift solenoid valves, the valve body or automatic transaxle (clutch, brake or gear etc.).
Monitor description
The ecm commands gear shifts by turning the shift solenoid valves ”on/off”. According to the input shaft revolution, intermediate (counter) shaft revolution and output shaft revolution, the ecm detects the actual gear position (1st, 2nd, 3rd or o/d gear position). When the gear position commanded by the ecm and the actual gear position are not same, the ecm illuminates the mil.

Overhaul
1. Inspect 1st gear thrust clearance
Using a feeler gauge, measure the 1st gear thrust clearance.
Standard clearance:
0.10 – 0.40 Mm (0.0039 – 0.0157 In.)
2. Inspect 2nd gear thrust clearance
Using a dial indicator, measure the 2nd gear thrust clearance.
Standard clearan ...
