Title: K120 / K121 (CVT): K120 CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSAXLE SYSTEM: ECU Power Source Circuit; 2023 - 2025 MY Corolla Corolla Hatchback [11/2022 - 09/2024]

ECU Power Source Circuit

DESCRIPTION

When the engine switch is turned on (IG), battery voltage is applied to terminal MREL of the ECM through the coil of the EFI-MAIN NO. 1 relay. This causes the EFI-MAIN NO. 1 relay to close, which supplies power to terminal +B of the TCM.

WIRING DIAGRAM

Refer to DTC U010087.
