1. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
(a) The ECT (Electronic controlled automatic transmission/transaxle) is an automatic transmission/transaxle that electronically controls shift timing using the 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 transmission performance are improved.
Shift shock has been reduced by controlling the engine and transmission simultaneously.
In addition, the ECT has features such as follows:
Inspection
1. INSPECT MAGNETIC CLUTCH CLEARANCE
(a) Set the dial indicator to the magnetic clutch hub.
(b) Connect the battery positive lead to the terminal 1 of
the magnet clutch connector and the negative lead
to the earth wire. Turn on and off the magnetic
clutch and measure the clearance.

ECM Power Source Circuit
DESCRIPTION
When the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, the battery voltage is
applied to terminal IGSW of
the ECM. The ECM MREL output signal causes a current to flow to the coil,
closing the contacts of the EFI
relay and supplying power to terminal +B of the ECM.
If the igniti ...
