Toyota RAV4 Service Manual: Parts location
System diagram
The configuration of the electronic control system in the u140f automatic transaxle is as shown in the following chart.
System description
- System description
- The electronic controlled automatic transaxle
(ect) is an automatic transaxle that electronically
controls shift timing using the engine control
module (ecm). The ecm detects electrical signals
that indicate engine and driving conditions, and
controls the shift point based on driver habits and
road conditions. As a result, fuel efficiency and
power transaxle performance are improved.
Shift shock is reduced by controlling the engine and transaxle simultaneously.
In addition, the ect has the following features:
- Diagnostic function.
- Fail-safe function when a malfunction occurs.
How to proceed with troubleshooting
Hint:
- The ecm of this system is connected to the can and multiplex communication system. Therefore, before starting troubleshooting, make sure to check that there is no trouble in the can and multiplex communication systems.
- *: Use the intelligent tester.
- Vehicle brought to workshop
- Customer problem analysis
- Inspect battery voltage
Standard voltage: 11 to 14 v
If the voltage is below 11 v, recharge or replace the battery before proceeding.
