1. FAIL-SAFE
This function minimizes the loss of the ECT functions when any malfunction occurs in a sensor or solenoid.
(a) ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) temperature sensor: When the ATF temperature sensor has a malfunction, 5th upshift is prohibited.
(b) Counter gear speed sensor NC (Speed sensor NC): When the counter gear speed sensor has a malfunction, 5th upshift is prohibited.
(c) Shift solenoid valve DSL: When the solenoid valve DSL has a malfunction, the current to the solenoid valve is stopped.
This stops lock-up control, then fuel economy decreases.
(d) Shift solenoid valve SL1, SL2, SL3 and S4: Fail safe function: If either of the shift solenoid valve circuits develops an open or short, the ECM turns the other shift solenoid "ON" and "OFF" in order to shift into the gear positions shown in the table below.
Manual shifting as shown in the following table must be done (In case of a short circuit, the ECM stops sending the current to the short circuited solenoid).
Even if starting the engine in the fail-safe mode, the gear position remains in the same position.

Throttle Actuator Control System
DESCRIPTION
The throttle actuator is operated by the ECM, and opens and closes the
throttle valve using the gears.
The opening angle of the throttle valve is detected by the Throttle Position
(TP) sensor, which is mounted
on the throttle body. The TP sensor provides feedback to the ECM ...

DTC B1796 Sleep Operation Failure of Occupant Classification
ECU
DESCRIPTION
During sleep mode, the occupant classification ECU reads the condition of
each sensor while the ignition
switch is off.
In this mode, if the occupant classification ECU detects an internal
malfunction, DTC B1796 ...
