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.

General
The air conditioning system has the following
features:
In accordance with the temperature set using the
temperature control switch, the air conditioning
amplifier determines the outlet temperature
based on the input signals from various sensors.
In addition, corre ...
Vc output circuit
Description
The ecm constantly generates 5 v power from the battery voltages supplied to
the +b (batt) terminal to
operate the microprocessor. The ecm also provides this power to the sensors
through the vc output
circuit.
When the vc circuit is short-circuited, the microprocessor in the ...
Starter relay circuit high
Description
While the engine is being cranked, the positive battery voltage is applied to
terminal sta of the ecm. If
the ecm detects the starter control (sta) signal while the vehicle is being
driven, it determines that there
is a malfunction in the sta circuit. The ecm then illuminates ...
