1991 LEXUS SC400 transmission

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION (Cont'd)
Purpose of the driving pattern.
(a) To simulate diag. code detecting condition after diag. code is recorded.
(b) To check that the malfunction is corrected when the repair is completed confirming that diag.code is no longer detected.
DIAGNOSIS CODE DETECTION DRIVING PATTERN
Initiate test mode (See page TR±12).
Start engine and warm up.
After engine is warmed up, let it idle for 3 min.
With the A/C ON and the transmission in D range (O/D ON), perform
gradual acceleration with in the range 1,300 ± 1,700 rpm (centered
around 1,500 rpm).
(Take care that the engine speed does not fall below 1,200 rpm when
shifting. Gradually depress the accelerator pedal and kept it. Steady so
that engine braking does not occur.)
Maintain the vehicle speed at 40 ± 50 mph (64 ± 80 km/h).
Keep the vehicle running for 1 ± 2 min. after starting acceleration.
HINT: If a malfunction exists, the ºCHECKº engine warning light will light\
up af-
ter approx. 60 sec. from the start of acceleration.
NOTICE: If the conditions in this test are not strictly followed, detection of the malfunction will not be possible.

Diag. Code 42Vehicle Speed Sensor Signal Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The No. 1 speed sensor outputs a 20±pulse signal for every revolution of the rotor shaft, which is r\
otated by
the transmission output shaft via the driven gear. This signal is converted in the combination meter to 4±pulse
signal by the pulse conversion circuit and then sent to the Engine & ECT ECU. \
The ECU determines the vehicle
speed based on the frequency of these pulse signals.

All conditions below are detected continuously for 8
sec. or more.(a) Vehicle speed signal: 0 km/h (0 mph)

Diag. Code 51Switch Condition Signal Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Neutral Start Switch Signal
The ECU uses the signals from the neutral start switch to determine whether\
the transmission is in park or neu-
tral, or in some other gear.
Air Conditioner Switch Signal
The ECU uses the output from the air conditioner switch to determine whethe\
r or not the air conditioner is operat-
ing so that it can increase the idling speed of the engine if necessary.
Throttle Position Sensor IDL Signal
The IDL contacts are mounted in the throttle position sensor, and detects the idle condition.

DISCONNECTION AND CONNECTION OF BOLT
TYPE CONNECTORS
For engine and ECT ECU in this vehicle, connectors are used
which require a bolt built into the connector to be screwed down to
securely connect the connector.
1. Disconnect the connectorAfter completely loosening the bolt, the two parts of the
connector can be separated.
NOTICE:
Do not pull the wire harness when disconnecting the
connector.
2. Connect the connector
NOTICE:
Before connecting the connector, always check that the
terminals are not bent or damaged.
(a) Match the guide section of the male connectorcorrectly with the female connector, then press them
together.
(b) Tighten the bolt. Make sure the connectors are completely connected,
by tightening the bolt until there is a clearance of less
than 1 mm (0.04 in.) between the bottom of male
connector and the end of female connector.

7. AUTO CANCEL FUNCTION
A) IF ANY OF THE FOLLOWING OPERATING CONDITIONS OCCURS DURING CRUISE CONTROL OPERATION, THE SET SPEED IS
ERASED, CURRENT FLOW TO MAGNETIC CLUTCH IS STOPPED AND THE CRUISE CONTROL IS RELEASED. (MAIN SWITCH TURNS
OFF).
WHEN THIS OCCURS, THE IGNITION SWITCH MUST BE TURNED OFF ONCE BEFORE THE MAI\
N SWITCH WILL TURN ON.* OVER CURRENT TO TRANSISTER DRIVING MOTOR AND/OR MAGNETIC CLUTCH.
* WHEN CURRENT CONTINUED TO FLOW TO THE MOTOR INSIDE THE ACTUATOR IN THE THROTTLE VALVE ªOPENº DIRECTION.
* OPEN CIRCUIT IN MAGNETIC CLUTCH.
* MOMENTARY INTERRUPTION OF VEHICLE SPEED SIGNAL.
* SHORT CIRCUIT IN CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH.
* MOTOR DOES NOT OPERATE DESPITE THE MOTOR DRIVE SIGNAL BEING OUTPUT.
B) IF ANY OF THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS OCCURS DURING CRUISE CONTROL OPERATION, THE SET SPEED IS ERASED AND
THE CRUISE CONTROL IS RELEASED. (THE POWER OF MAGNETIC CLUTCH IS CUT OFF U\
NTIL THE SET SWITCH IS ªONº AGAIN.) * WHEN THE VEHICLE SPEED FALLS BELOW THE MINIMUM SPEED LIMIT, APPROX. 40 KM/H ( 2.5 MPH)
* WHEN THE VEHICLE SPEED FALLS MORE THAN 16 KM/H ( 10 MPH) BELOW THE SET SPEED, E.G. ON AN UPWARD SLOPE.
* WHEN POWER TO THE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM IS MOMENTARILY CUT OFF.
C) IF ANY OF THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS OCCURS DURING CRUISE CONTROL OPERATION, THE CRUISE CONTROL IS
RELEASED.
* OPEN CIRCUIT FOR TERMINAL 1 OF CRUISE CONTROL ECU AND SPLICE POINT ªI 9º.
8. AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CONTROL FUNCTION
*IN OVERDRIVE. IF THE VEHICLE SPEED BECOMES LOWER THAN THE OVERDRIVE CUT SPEED (SET SPEED MINUS APPROX. 4
KM/H, 2.5 MPH) DURING CRUISE CONTROL OPERATION, SUCH AS DRIVING UP A HILL, THE OVERDRIVE IS RELEASED AND THE
POWER INCREASED TO PREVENT A REDUCTION IN VEHICLE SPEED.
* AFTER RELEASING THE OVERDRIVE, VEHICLE SPEED BECOMES HIGHER THAN THE OVE\
RDRIVE RETURN SPEED (SET SPEED
MINUS APPROX. 2 M/H, 1.2 MPH) AND THE ECU JUDGES BY THE SIGNALS FROM POTENTIOMETER OF THE ACTUATOR THAT THE
UPWARD SLOPE HAS FINISHED, OVERDRIVE IS RESUMED AFTER APPROXIMATELY 6 SECONDS.
* DURING CRUISE CONTROL DRIVING, THE CRUISE CONTROL OPERATION SIGNAL IS OUTPUT FROM THE CRUISE CONTROL
ECU TO THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION ECU. UPON RECEIVING THIS SIGNAL, THE ENGIN\
E AND TRANSMISSION ECU
CHANGES THE SHIFT PATTERN TO NORMAL.
TO MAINTAIN SMOOTH CRUISE CONTROL OPERATION (ON A DOWNWARD SLOPE ETC.), LOCK±UP RELEASE OF THE
TRANSMISSION WHEN THE IDLING POINT OF THE THROTTLE POSITION IS ªONº IS FORBIDD\
