A/T CONTROL SYSTEM : Fail-SafeINFOID:0000000006226769
TCM has the electrical fail-safe mode. The mode is divi ded into a maximum of 3 phases (1st fail-safe, 2nd fail-
safe and final fail-safe) and functions so that the operat ion can be continued even if the signal circuit of the
main electronically controlled input/output parts is damaged.
Even if the electronic circuit is normal, the fail-safe mode may start under special conditions (such as when the
brake pedal is depressed suddenly from a hard wheel spin st atus to stop the rotation of wheels). In this case,
turn the ignition switch OFF and back to ON after 5 seconds to resume the normal shift pattern.
Consequently, the customer's vehicle may already return to the normal condition. Refer to TM-88, "
Diagnosis
Flow".
FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION
1st Fail-SafeThe mode that the vehicle can stop safely, to prompt the driver to stop if the malfunction occurs and to shift to
2nd fail-safe early. It shifts to 2nd fail-safe or final fail-safe after the vehicle stopped.
2nd Fail-Safe The mode that the vehicle shifts to final fail-safe without changing the behavior, by identifying the malfunction-
ing parts in the condition that the driving force required for the driving is secured.
Final Fail-Safe  Selects the shifting pattern that the malfunctioning parts identified at 1st fail-safe and 2nd fail-safe are not
used, and then secure the driving force that is required for the driving.
 The mode that the shifting performance does not decrease by normal shift control.

A/T CONTROL SYSTEM : Protection ControlINFOID:0000000006226770
The TCM becomes the protection control status temporar ily to protect the safety when the safety of TCM and
transmission is lost. It automatically returns to the normal status if the safety is secured.
The TCM has the following protection control.
REVERSE INHIBIT CONTROL
Intercepts the torque transmission and shift to the neutral stat us if the selector lever is shifted to “R” position
while the vehicle moves forward at the vehicle speed 10 km/h (7 MPH) or more.
1ST ENGINE BRAKE PROTECTION CONTROL
Controls the engine brake so as not to make effective by turning the front brake solenoid output to OFF when
each solenoid becomes the electricity pattern of 1st engine brake during driving at the vehicle speed 25 km/h
or more in any positions other than “R” position and 1GR.
TCM HIGH TEMPERATURE PROTECTION CONTROL
Limit the accelerator opening and forcibly control the vehi cle to the low torque driving when the electronic sub-
strate in TCM reaches the high temperature.

IGN Counter
The IGN counter is indicated in Fr eeze frame data (FFD) and indicates the number of times that the ignition
switch is turned ON after returning to the normal state from DTC.

- The number is fixed to 39 until the self-di agnosis results are erased if it is over 39.
 Other than CAN malfunction
- The number is 0 when a malfunction is detected now.
