DESCRIPTION
When 2nd mode is selected with the No. 1 pattern select switch assembly, the ECM controls the shift 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.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
When the pattern select switch (2ND) is pushed, switch contact is made and 2nd mode is selected. To cancel 2nd mode, push the pattern select switch (2ND) once again.
Tech Tips
2nd mode is automatically canceled when the engine switch is turned off.
PROCEDURE
DRIVING TEST
Tech Tips
The driving test should be performed on a paved road (nonskid road).
Start the engine.
Turn the 2ND switch off (normal drive mode).
Confirm vehicle response by driving from a parked position to fully depressing the accelerator pedal.
Turn the 2ND switch on and perform the same check as above.
When driving the vehicle with the 2ND switch on and off, check that there is a difference in acceleration.
| OK |
|---|
| There is a difference in acceleration. |
