Toyota Tacoma (2015-2018) Service Manual: System Description
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
1. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
(a) The Electronic Controlled Automatic Transmission (ECT) is an automatic transmission that has its shift timing electronically controlled by the ECM. The ECM detects electrical signals that indicate engine and driving conditions, and controls the shift point, based on driver's habits and road conditions. As a result, fuel efficiency and transmission performance are improved.
Shift shock has been reduced by controlling the engine and transmission simultaneously.
In addition, the ECT has features such as:
- Diagnostic function.
- Fail-safe function for use when a malfunction occurs.

ECM Communication Circuit Malfunction (C1203)
DESCRIPTION
The circuit sends TRAC, A-TRAC and VSC control information from the skid control
ECU (master cylinder solenoid) to the ECM, and engine control information from the
ECM to the skid control ECU (master cylinder solenoid) via the CAN communication
system.

Acceleration Sensor Internal Circuit (C1419,C1435)
DESCRIPTION
The skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) receives signals from the yaw
rate and acceleration sensor (airbag sensor assembly) via the CAN communication
system.
The airbag sensor assembly has a built-in yaw rate and acceleration sensor and
detects the vehicle condition.
