IThrottle BodY
Description
The throttle bodY is either a single-barrel side-draft type
(D16Y5, D16Y8, 816A2 engine) or a down-draft type
(D16Y/ engine). The lower portion ot the throttle valve is
heated by engine coolant from the cylinder head' The
idle adjusting screw which regulates the bypass air is
located on the top of the throttle body

GRADE LOGIC CONTROL SYSTEM
How it works:
The pCM compares actual driving conditions with driving conditions memorized in the PCM, based on the input from the
vehicle speed sensor, the throttle position sensor, the barometoric pressure sensor, the engine coolant temperature sensor,
the brake switch signal, and the shift lever position signal, to control shifting while a vehicle is ascending or descending a
slope, or reducing speed.

2. Repeat same test in E Position.
3. Test-drive the vehicle on a flat road in the E position. Check that the shift points occur at approximate speeds shown
in the table. Also check for abnormal noise and clutch slippage.

Electronic Control System ('96 - 98 Modelsl
The electronic control system consists of the Transmission control Module (TcM), sensors, three linear solenoids, and an
inhibitor solenoid. Shifting is electronically controlled under all conditions
The TCIM is located below the dashboard, behind the kick panel on the driver's side'
The TcN4 controls the transmission to reduce engine speed and retain the engine's cooling efficiency when the vehicle is
driven with Iull throttle acceleration
lf the vehicle is continuously driven at full throttle acceleration, the TCM regulates the pulley hydraulic pressure to
increase the pulley ratio, which, as the result. reduces the engine speed and retains the designed cooling efficiency After
the vehicle has been driven at a lower engine speed for a while, the TCM increases the pulley ratio to the original ratio.
For smooth starting in the E position, the TcM sends a signal to the EcM to cut off the rvc clutch {if the A!/c is on) and
increases the engine speed to 900 rpm when the transmission is shifted to the E position'
The start clutch functions to make smooth starting possible. To let the start clutch function properly. the TCM regulates
the start clutch hydraulic pressure based on the entine's negative pressure memorized in the E position'

Electronic Control System ('99 - 00 Modelsl (cont'dl
Grade Logic Control System
How it works:
The PcM compares actual driving conditions with memorized driving conditions. based on the input from the vehiclespeed sensor, the throttle position sensor, the manifold absolute pressure sensor, the engine coolant temperature sensor,the brake switch signal, and the shift lever position signal, to control shifting while the vehicle is ascending or descendinga slope.
Ascending Control
When the PCM determines that the vehicle is climbing a hill in E position, the system selects the most suitable shiftschedule (pulley ratio) according to the magnitude of a gradient. so the vehicle can run smooth and have more powerwhen needed. There are three ascending modes with different shift schedules according to the magnitude ot a gradient inthe PCM.
Descending Control
when the PCM determines that the vehicle is going down a hill in E position. the system selects the most suitable shiftschedule (pulley ratio) according to the magnitude of a gradient. This, in combinstion with engine braking, achievessmooth driving when the vehicle is descending, There are three descending modes with different shift schedules accord-ing to the magnitude of a gradient in the PCM.
