System Description

  1. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION 
    1. The Electronic Controlled Automatic Transmission (ECT) is an automatic transmission that electronically controls shift timing using the Engine Control Module (ECM). The ECM detects electrical signals that indicate engine and driving conditions, controls the shift point and selects the appropriate shift pattern based on driver habits and road conditions. As a result, fuel efficiency and power transmission performance are improved.

      Shift shock has been reduced by controlling the engine and transmission simultaneously. In addition, the ECT has the following features:

      • Diagnostic function.
      • Fail-safe function (activates when a malfunction occurs).
