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:
Torque converter clutch solenoid performance (shift solenoid valve dsl)
Description
The ecm uses the signals from the throttle position sensor, air-flow meter,
turbine (input) speed sensor,
intermediate (counter) shaft speed sensor and crankshaft position sensor to
monitor the engagement
condition of the lock-up clutch.
Then the ecm compares the engagement ...
Operation check
Check key reminder warning system
Check that the key reminder warning buzzer
sounds.
With the driver side door closed, insert the key
into the ignition key cylinder and then turn the
ignition switch to lock or acc.
Check that the buzzer sounds intermittently
when the driver ...
Control module communication bus off
Description
The power steering ecu receives signals from the ecm and the skid control ecu
via the can
communication system.
Hint:
When 2 or more dtcs starting with [u] are output simultaneously, inspect
the connectors and wire
harness of each ecu.
If dtc u0105/41 is output, fi ...
