ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM
The electronic control system for the A340E automatic transmission provides extremely precise control of
the gear shift timing and lock±up timing in response to driving conditions as sensed by various sensors
located throughout the vehicle and in response to the engine's running condition.
At the same time, the ECM control reduces vehicle squat when the vehicle starts out and gear shift shock.
The electronic control system is also equipped with a self diagnosis system which diagnoses malfunctions
for the vehicle to continue functioning when a malfunction occurs.
CONSTRUCTION
The electronic control system can be broadly divided onto three groups; the sensors, ECM and actuators.

nals. If necessary, replace the high±tension cord and/or dis-
tributor cap.

SPARK PLUGS INSPECTION
NOTICE:
wNever use a wire brush for cleaning.
wNever attempt to adjust the electrode gap on used a spark
plug.
wSpark plugs should be replaced every 100,000 km (60,000
miles).
1. DISCONNECT HIGH±TENSION CORDS FROM SPARK
PLUGS
2. INSPECT ELECTRODE
Using a megger (insulation resistance meter), measure the
insulation resistance.
Standard correct insulation resistance:
10 M or more
If the resistance is less than specified, proceed to step 7.
HINT: If a megger is not available, the following simple meth-
od of inspection provides fairly accurate results.

5. INSPECT ELECTRODE GAP
Maximum electrode gap for used spark plug:
1.3 mm (0.051 in.)
If the gap is greater than maximum, replace the spark plug.
Correct electrode gap for new spark plug:
1.1 mm (0.043 in.)
NOTICE: If adjusting the gap of a new spark plug, bend only
the base of the ground electrode. Do not touch the tip. Never
attempt to adjust the gap on the used plug.
6. CLEAN SPARK PLUGS
If the electrode has traces of wet carbon, allow it to dry and
then clean with a spark plug cleaner.
Air pressure:
Below 588 kPa (6 kgfVcm
2, 85 psi)
Duration:
20 seconds or less
HINT: If there are traces of oil, remove it with gasoline before
using the spark plug cleaner.
