BLIPPING Control: Notes

This system makes transmission clutch engage readily by controlling (synchronizing) engine revolution according to the (calculation of) engine revolution after shifting down.

• "BLIPPING CONTROL" functions (1) when downshifting by pedal depression at D range and (2) when downshifting under the manual mode.
• TCM selects "BLIPPING CONTROL" or "NORMAL SHIFT CONTROL" according to the gear position, the select lever position, the engine torque and the speed when accelerating by pedal depression.
• Revolution control demand signal is transmitted from TCM to ECM under "BLIPPING CONTROL".
• TCM synchronizes engine revolution according to the revolution control demand signal.
