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.

Basic inspection
Resistance measuring condition of electronic parts
unless stated, all resistance is measured at an ambient
temperature of 20 c (68 °F). As the resistance
may be outside the specifications if measured at high temperatures
immediately after
the vehicle has been running, measu ...
For vehicles equipped with catalytic converter
Caution:
if large amount of unburned fuel flows into the converter, it may cause
overheating and a fire hazard.
To prevent this, observe the following precautions.
