CVT SYSTEM

TCM FunctionBCS001G2
The function of the TCM is to:

Receive input signals sent from various switches and sensors.

Determine required line pressure, shifting point, and lock-up operation.

Send required output signals to the step motor and the respective solenoids.
CONTROL SYSTEM OUTLINE
The CVT senses vehicle operating conditions through various sensors. It always controls the optimum shift
position and reduces shifting and lock-up shocks.

CAN CommunicationBCS001G3
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle mul-
tiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Many elec-
tronic control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with other
control units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control units are connected with 2
communication lines (CAN-H line, CAN-L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission with less wiring.
Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only. For details, refer to LAN-49,
"CAN System Specification Chart" .

NOTE:
The gear ratio is set for every position separately.
“D” POSITION
Shifting over all the ranges of gear ratios from the lowest to the high-
est.
“M” POSITION
When the selector lever is put in the manual shift gate side, the fixed
changing gear line is set. By moving the selector lever to + side or -
side, the manual mode switch is changed over, and shift change like
M/T becomes possible following the changing gear set line step by
step.
DOWNHILL ENGINE BRAKE CONTROL (AUTO ENGINE BRAKE CONTROL)
When downhill is detected with the accelerator pedal released, the engine brake will be strengthened up by
downshifting so as not to accelerate the vehicle more than necessary.
ACCELERATION CONTROL
According to vehicle speed and a change of accelerator pedal angle, driver's request for acceleration and driv-
ing scene are judged. This function assists improvement in acceleration feeling by making the engine speed
proportionate to the vehicle speed. And a shift map which can gain a larger driving force is available for com-
patibility of mileage with drivability.
Lock-up and Select ControlBCS001G7

The torque converter clutch piston in the torque converter is engaged to eliminate torque converter slip to
increase power transmission efficiency.

The torque converter clutch control valve operation is controlled by the torque converter clutch solenoid
valve, which is controlled by a signal from TCM. The torque converter clutch control valve engages or
releases the torque converter clutch piston.

When shifting between “N” (“P”) ⇔ “D” (“R”), torque converter clutch solenoid controls engagement power
of forward clutch and reverse brake.

The lock-up applied gear range was expanded by locking up the
torque converter at a lower vehicle speed than conventional
CVT models.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS

Inspections Before Trouble DiagnosisBCS001GJ
CVT FLUID CHECK
Fluid Leakage and Fluid Level Check
Inspect for fluid leakage and check the fluid level. Refer to CVT-13, "Checking CVT Fluid" .
Fluid Condition Check
Inspect the fluid condition.
STALL TEST
Stall Test Procedure
1. Inspect the amount of engine oil. Replenish the engine oil if necessary.
2. Drive for about 10 minutes to warm up the vehicle so that the
CVT fluid temperature is 50 to 80°C (122 to 176°F). Inspect the
amount of CVT fluid. Replenish if necessary.
3. Securely engage the parking brake so that the tires do not turn.
4. Install a tachometer where it can be seen by driver during test.

It is good practice to mark the point of specified engine
rpm on indicator.
5. Start engine, apply foot brake, and place selector lever in “D”
position.
6. While holding down the foot brake, gradually press down the
accelerator pedal.
7. Quickly read off the stall speed, and then quickly remove your
foot from the accelerator pedal.
CAUTION:
Do not hold down the accelerator pedal for more than 5 sec-
onds during this test.
8. Move the selector lever to the “N” position.
9. Cool down the CVT fluid.

5. Start the engine, and then measure the line pressure at idle
speed.
CAUTION:
Keep the brake pedal pressed all the way down during mea-
surement.
6. After the measurements are complete, install the oil pressure
detection plug and tighten to the specified torque below.
CAUTION:

Do not reuse O-ring.

Apply CVT fluid to O-ring.
