Stop Light Switch Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The purpose of this circuit is to prevent the engine from stalling, while driving in lock−up condition, when
brakes are suddenly applied.
When the brake pedal is operated, this switch sends a signal to ECM. Then the ECM cancels of the lock−up
clutch while braking is in progress.
WIRING DIAGRAM
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1 Check operation of stop light.
CHECK:
Check if the stop lights go on and off normally when the brake pedal is operated and released.
NG Check and repair stop light circuit.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The O/D main switch contacts go open when the switch is pushed in and go closed when it is pushed once
again. In O/D main switch OFF position, the O/D OFF indicator lights up, and the ECM prohibits shifting to
O/D.

Pattern Select Switch Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The ECM memory contains the shift programs for the NORMAL and POWER patterns, 2 position, and L posi-
tion and the lock−up patterns. Following the programs corresponding to the signals from the pattern select
switch, the park/neutral position switch and other various sensors, the ECM switches the solenoid valves
ON and OFF, and control the transmission gear change and the lock−up clutch operation.

(c) Clear the DTC.
(1) Using SST, connect terminals Tc and E1 of the
DLC1.
SST 09843−18020
(2) Disconnect the short pin from the DLC1.
(3) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(4) Clear the DTC stored in ECU by depressing the
brake pedal 8 or more times within 3 seconds (4WD
models) or 5 seconds (2WD models).
(5) Check that the warning light shows the normal
code.
(6) Remove the SST from the terminals of the DLC1.

Cancellation can also be done by removing the ECU−B fuse,
but in this case, other memory systems will also canlelled out.
(d) Using TOYOTA break−out−box and TOYOTA hand−held
tester, measure the ECU terminal values.
(1) Turn the ignition switch OFF.
(2) Hook up the TOYOTA hand−held tester and TOYO-
TA break−out−box to the vehicle.
(3) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(4) Read the ECU input / output values by following the
prompts on the tester screen.
HINT:
TOYOTA hand−held tester has a ”Snapshot” function. This re-
cords the measured values and is effective in the diagnosis of
intermittent problems. Please refer to the TOYOTA hand−held
tester / TOYOTA break−out−box operators manual for further
details.
