ELECTRONIC CONTROLLED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SYSTEM - Pattern Select Switch Snow Mode Circuit


DESCRIPTION

Cowl side J/B ECU receives pattern select switch information, and sends it through the multiplex communication system and CAN system to the ECM.
ECT SNOW is the system that operates the throttle motor to control engine output to reduce skidding of the driving wheels, guarantee takeoff acceleration, driving straightness and turning stability.

HINT:
(*) Pattern Select Switch (ECT SNOW Switch)
When the ECT SNOW switch is pushed, the switch contact is made and the ECT SNOW mode is selected.
To cancel the ECT SNOW mode, push the ECT SNOW switch once again.
The ECT SNOW mode is automatically cancelled out when the engine switch is turned "OFF".

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

1.DRIVING TEST

  1. Start the engine.

  1. Turn the ECT SNOW switch "OFF" (Normal drive mode).

  1. Confirm vehicle response by driving from a parked position to fully depressing the accelerator pedal.

  1. Turn the ECT SNOW switch "ON" and perform the same check as above.
    Confirm that there is a difference between ECT SNOW switch "ON" and "OFF".

    HINT:
    1. Driving test should be done on a paved road (a nonskid road).
    2. Make sure not to use the TRAC system when testing a vehicle equipped with one.
    OK:
    There is a difference in acceleration between "ON" and "OFF".
