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.

Other materials:
Check and replace ecu
Notice:
start an inspection of the connector from the backside
of the connector on the wire harness side with
the connector connected to the ecu.
When no measurement condition is specified, perform
the inspection with the engine stopped and also
the ignition switch on.
First check the ec ...

Manual shifting test
1. Perform manual shifting test
Hint:
by this test, it can be determined whether the trouble is within
the electrical circuit or is a mechanical problem in the transaxle.
Disconnect the transmission wire connector.
inspect the manual driving operation.
Check that the shift and g ...
