Pattern Select Switch 2nd Start Mode Circuit [08/2019 - ]: Description

When 2nd start mode is selected with the ECT 2ND switch (pattern select switch assembly), the ECM controls the solenoid valves and the transmission starts from 2nd gear.

In 2nd start mode, the system operates the throttle motor to control engine output to reduce skidding of the drive wheels and guarantee stable acceleration from rest, straight driving and turning stability.

When the shift lever is in D, the transmission automatically shifts up from 2nd to 6th as usual.

HINT: 

• The ECT 2ND switch (pattern select switch assembly) is a momentary-type switch.
• In order to cancel 2nd start mode, push the ECT 2ND switch (pattern select switch assembly) again or turn the engine switch off.
