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:

Blower Motor Circuit
DESCRIPTION
The blower motor is operated by signals from the A/C amplifier. Blower motor
speed signals are
transmitted by changes in the Duty Ratio.
Duty Ratio
The duty ratio is the ratio of the period of continuity in one cycle. For
example, if A is the period of
continuity in one cycl ...
