DESCRIPTION
When 2nd mode is selected with the ECT 2nd switch, the ECM controls the solenoid valves and the transmission starts from 2nd gear.
The 2nd mode is the system that operates the throttle motor to control engine output to reduce skidding of the driving wheels, and guarantee takeoff acceleration, driving straightness and turning stability.
When the shift lever is in D, the transmission automatically shifts up through 3rd to 6th as usual.
CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
When the ECT 2nd switch is pushed, switch contact is made and 2nd mode is selected. To cancel 2nd mode, push the ECT 2nd switch once again.
2nd mode is automatically canceled when the ignition switch is turned off.
PROCEDURE
DRIVING TEST
The driving test should be performed on a paved road (nonskid road).
Start the engine.
Turn the ECT 2nd switch off (normal drive mode).
Confirm vehicle response by driving from a parked position to fully depressing the accelerator pedal.
Turn the ECT 2nd switch on and perform the same check as above.
When driving the vehicle with the ECT 2nd switch on and off, check that there is a difference in acceleration.
| OK |
|---|
| There is a difference in acceleration. |
