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.

System Voltage Circuit Short to Ground or Open (P056014)
DESCRIPTION
The battery supplies power to the ECM even when the ignition switch is off. This
power allows the ECM to store data such as DTC history, freeze frame data and fuel
trim values. If the battery voltage falls below a minimum level, the ECM data is
cleared and the ECM determines that ...

Even small forces applied to the seatback may cause the head restraint to mov ...
Diameter of the Tire is not Uniform (C1337)
DESCRIPTION
The skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) measures the speed of each wheel
by receiving signals from the speed sensors. These signals are used for recognizing
whether all 4 wheels are operating properly. Therefore, all wheel signals must indicate
the same speed.
