DESCRIPTION
The pattern select switch makes it possible to select SPORT modes.
The cowl side junction block ECU (main body ECU RH) receives pattern select switch information, and sends it through the multiplex communication system and CAN system to each ECU.
The SPORT signal changes control for the engine, automatic transmission, VDIM and electric power steering in an integrated manner.
When SPORT mode is selected, the SPORT indicator illuminates, VDIM SPORT mode is entered, and the electric power steering, automatic transmission control and engine control all change to SPORT mode.
