DIAGNOSTICS – CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM (w/o ETCS–i)

DI8ZL–03

Electronically Controlled Transmission Communication Circuit

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
When the vehicle is driven uphill under the cruise control, a signal to prevent a upshift until the end of the
uphill slope is sent from the cruise control ECU to the electronically controlled transmission, in order to re-
duce shifting due to ON–OFF overdrive operation and to provide smooth driving when a downshifting in the
electronically controlled transmission occurs.
Terminal ECT of the cruise control ECU detects a shift change signal (input to electronically controlled trans-
mission No. 2 solenoid) from the ECM.
When the vehicle speeds down and when terminal ECT of the cruise control ECU receives a downshifting
signal, it sends a signal from terminal OD to the ECM to cut overdrive until the end of the uphill slope, and
the gear shiftings are reduced and gear shifting points in the electronically controlled transmission are
changed.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

1 Check operation of overdrive.

PREPARATION:
Drive the vehicle after the engine warmed up.
CHECK:
Check that overdrive ON ↔ OFF occurs by an operation of the OD switch ON–OFF.

NG Check and repair electronically controlled

transmission (See page DI–454).

OK

2 Check voltage between terminal OD of cruise control ECU connector and body
ground.

PREPARATION:
ON (a) Remove the ECU with the connector being connected.
(b) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(c) Disconnect the ECU connector.
CHECK:
OD
Measure the voltage between terminal OD of the ECU connec-
tor and the body ground.
OK:
Voltage: 10 – 16 V

3 Check voltage between terminal ECT of cruise control ECU connector and body
ground (On test drive).

PREPARATION:
ECT
(a) Connect the ECU connector.
(b) Drive the vehicle after the engine warmed up.
CHECK:
Check the voltage between terminal ECT of the ECU connector
(–) (+) and the body ground when the OD switch is ON and OFF.
OK:

4 Check harness and connector between terminal ECT of cruise control ECU and
electronically controlled transmission solenoid (See page IN–28).

NG Repair or replace harness or connector.

OK

Check and replace cruise control ECU.

5 Check harness and connector between terminal OD of cruise control ECU and
terminal OD1 of ECM or terminal OD1 of O/D ECU (See page IN–28).

NG Repair or replace harness or connector.

OK

Check and replace cruise control ECU.
