What are the components of an ETC system?
A typical ETC system consists of three major components: (i) an accelerator pedal module (ideally with two or more independent sensors), (ii) a throttle valve that can be opened and closed by an electric motor (sometimes referred to as an electric or electronic throttle body (ETB)), and…
How does the throttle position sensor work in an ECT?
The throttle position sensor takes the place of throttle pressure in a fully hydraulic control transmission. By relaying the throttle position, it gives the ECU an indication of engine load to control the shifting and lock-up timing of the transmission. There are two types of throttle sensors associated with ECT transmissions.
How does the electronic transmission control system work?
Electronic Transmission Control The EH Control System is designed to work in conjunction with the engine electronics for precise shift control. The TCM receives information on engine RPM, load and throttle posi- tion to provide optimum shift points to maximize fuel economy and driver comfort.
What does electronic throttle control ( etc ) mean?
Throttle body with integrated motor actuator Electronic throttle control (ETC) is an automobile technology which electronically “connects” the accelerator pedal to the throttle, replacing a mechanical linkage.
Where is the Transmission Control Module located in a car?
It’s also important to factor in the amount of time it could take to replace the module because some imported parts can take 2 to 4 weeks to arrive. While swapping out a box might seem simple, the TCM is located inside the transmission in many modern cars, trucks, and SUVs.
Is the Transmission Control Unit the same as the ECU?
The transmission control module, or TCM, is an electronic device similar to the ECU or engine control unit. However, the module’s functionality differs because the TCU is basically responsible for the proper operation of the transmission and transaxle.
Electronic Transmission Control The EH Control System is designed to work in conjunction with the engine electronics for precise shift control. The TCM receives information on engine RPM, load and throttle posi- tion to provide optimum shift points to maximize fuel economy and driver comfort.
