Pattern Select Switch Circuit: Description

The pattern select switch makes it possible to select SPORT, Normal or SNOW modes.

The cowl side junction block ECU (main body ECU RH) receives pattern select switch information, and sends it through the multiplex communication system and CAN system to each ECU

The SPORT signal changes control for the engine, automatic transmission, VDIM and electric power steering in an integrated manner

When SPORT mode is selected, the SPORT indicator illuminates, VDIM SPORT mode is entered, and the electric power steering, automatic transmission control and engine control all change to SPORT mode

When SNOW is selected, the operation of the throttle motor is moderated to control engine output This helps to reduce skidding of the drive wheels, and assists with takeoff acceleration, driving straightness and turning stability.
