Engine Cooperation Control

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

When shifting, TCM outputs torque down request signal. Receiving the signal, ECM retards the ignition timing of each cylinder to temporarily reduce the torque developed by the engine. In synchronization with this control, TCM constantly monitors the shifting status using the vehicle speed sensor and turbine sensor, and performs feedback control to obtain optimum shifting. This control enables smooth and comfortable shifting under any conditions.
