ELECTRONIC AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT

Note. The JATCO JF506E automatic gearbox is an electronically controlled, five speed gearbox which incorporates software to enable the gearbox to operate as a semi-automatic gearbox. Gearbox operation is controlled by the EAT ECU and the Engine Control Module (ECM) which communicate via a Controller Area Network (CAN) Bus. The advantages gained with the electronically controlled gearbox are smoother gear changes, quicker and more accurate gear change scheduling and reduced fuel consumption through improved engine/gearbox speed matching.
