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.

Check open circuit
For the open circuit in the wire harness in fig. 1, Perform
a resistance check in step (b) or a voltage check in step
(c) to locate the section.
Check the resistance.
Disconnect connectors a and c and measure the
resistance between them.
Resistance: 1 Ω or les ...
Monitor description
The battery supplies electricity to the ecm even when the ignition switch is
off. This electricity allows the
ecm store data such as dtc history, freeze frame data, fuel trim values, and
other data. If the battery voltage
falls below a minimum level, the ecm will conclude that there is a fault ...
