Toyota Corolla (E120): Circuit description
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 the other shift solenoid valves in good condition ”on/off” (in case of an open or short circuit, the ecm stops sending current to the circuit.).

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, th ...
