Toyota Corolla (E120): Circuit description
When the idle switch is turned on, a signal is sent to the cruise control ecu assy. The cruise control ecu assy uses this signal to correct the discrepancy between the throttle valve position and the actuator position sensor values to enable accurate cruise control at the set speed. If the idle switch is malfunctioning, problem symptoms also occur in the engine, so also inspect the engine.

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 ...
