Toyota Corolla (E120): Circuit description

The shift solenoid valve sl is turned ”on” and ”off” by signals from the ecm in order to control the hydraulic pressure operation, the lock–up relay valve, which then the controls operation of the lock–up clutch.

Fail safe function: if the ecm detects a malfunction, it turns the shift solenoid valve sl off.

Monitor description

Monitor description

Based on the signals from the throttle position sensor, the airflow meter and the crankshaft position sensor, the ecm sends a signal to the sl solenoid valve to regulate the hydraulic pressure and provide smoother gearshifts. The shift–solenoid valve sl responds to commands from the ecm. The valve controls the lock–up relay valve to perform the torque–converter lock–up function. If the ecm detects an open or short circuit for shift–solenoid sl, it will illuminate the mil.

    Purpose of the readiness tests
    The on–board diagnostic (obd ii) system is designed to monitor the performance of emission–related components and report any detected abnormalities in the form of diagnostic trouble codes (dtcs). Since the various components need to be monitored during different driving condition ...

    Diagnostic trouble code chart
    Notice: when removing the part, turn the ignition switch to off. Hint: using sst 09843–18040, it connect the terminal tc and cg of dlc3. If any abnormality is not found when inspecting parts, inspect the ecu and ground points for poor contact. If a malfunction code is displayed during ...

    Road test
    1. Problem symptom confirmation Taking into consideration the results of the customer problem analysis, try to reproduce the symptoms of the trouble. If the problem is that the transaxle does not shift up, shift down, or the shift point is too high or too low conduct the following road ...
