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.

1. Check engine oil level
after warming up the engine and then 5 minutes after the engine
stops, oil level should be between
the ”l” and ”f” marks on the oil level gage.
If low, check for leakage and add oil up to the ”f” mark.

Inspection procedure
Hint:
read freeze frame data using the hand–held tester or the obd ii scan tool.
Freeze frame data records the
engine conditions when a malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, it is
useful for determining whether
the vehicle was running or stopped, the engine was warmed up or not, th ...
