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.

Open in Stop Light Switch Circuit (C1425)
DESCRIPTION
The skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) detects the brake operating conditions
through a signal transmitted by the stop light switch.
The skid control ECU incorporates a circuit to detect an open circuit. This DTC
is output when an open circuit is detected in the stop light ...
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.
