GENERAL INFORMATIONM2231000100165
The F1C1A transmission is adopted for the CVT. 
This transmission is basically the same as conven
-
tional transmission.
The ATF warmer (ATF cooler) is adopted.

ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM
EEPROM
M2231012000024
Because EEPROM has been used, even if the bat-
tery terminals or control unit connectors are discon-
nected, the necessary learned values are stored in 
the engine-CVT-ECU to prevent a loss of shift qual
-
ity. (Initialisation is available by M.U.T.-III).
CONTROLLER AREA NETWORK (CAN) 
COMMUNICATION
M2231017000018
CAN* communication has been adopted for commu-
nication with other ECUs in order to decrease the 
number of wires and ensure information transmis
-
sion. For CVT control, the engine-CVT-ECU receives 
the following signals.

The A TF warme r  (A TF cooler) is adop ted. (th e  A TF 
cooler in

At the st art of runn ing, th e tempe r ature of   th e engine 
coolant rises earlier tha

war
m er ut ilizes this ch aract e ristic  to raise the  A TF

In addition

In the e

The roto

a notch betwee

beco
m es unlo c ked.
Then the slider can move in  t he direction A as illus-
trated in the figure  to allow the  lock cam to  rot a te so 
that the se
lector lever can be   shif ted fro m  the P posi
-
tion to  anoth e r position by pressin g  the p u shb u tton.
NOTE: Whe n  the ignition key  is in oth e r than  the 
LOCK (OFF) position with  the bra k e pe dal n o t 
depressed ,  the sele ctor leve r cann ot be  shif ted fro m  
the P position to  anothe r positio n.
