Note 1: Spare for vehicle speed sensor 1.
Note 2: Spare for throttle sensor.
Note 3: If these input and output signals are different, the TCM triggers the fail-safe function.
Note 4: Used as a condition for starting self-diagnostics, if self-diagnostics are not started, it is judged that there is some kind of error.
