This function minimizes the loss of the ect functions when a malfunction occurs in a sensor or solenoid.
This stops lock-up control, then fuel economy decreases.
Manual shifting as shown in the following table must be done. In case of a short circuit, the ecm stops sending the current to the short circuited solenoid.
Even if starting the engine in the fail-safe mode, the gear position remains in the same position.
Hint:
Vehicle speed sensor "A"
description
The speed sensor detects the wheel speed and sends the appropriate signals to
the skid control ecu.
The skid control ecu converts these wheel speed signals into a 4-pulse signal
and outputs it to the ecm
via the combination meter. The ecm determines the vehicle speed based o ...

Turn the ignition switch off before measuring the
resistances of the main wire and the branch wire.
After the ignition switch is turned off, check that the
key reminder warning system and light reminder

exhaust gases if inhaled.
WARNING
Exhaust gases contain harmful
carbon monoxide (CO), which is
colorless and odorless. Observe
the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause
