• TCM selects "BLIPPING CONTROL" or "NORMAL SHIFT CONTROL" according to the gear position, the selector lever position, the engine torque and the speed when accelerating by pedal depression.
• Engine speed control demand signal is transmitted from TCM to ECM under "BLIPPING CONTROL".
• ECM synchronizes the engine speed according to the engine speed control demand signal.
