• When pressure is applied to the metal diaphragm in the secondary pressure sensor, the metal diaphragm is deformed, resulting in voltage change. TCM evaluates the secondary pressure from its voltage change. Volt-
age is increased along with pressure increase.
CVT CONTROL SYSTEM : Primar y Pressure Solenoid ValveINFOID:0000000009463971
• The primary pressure solenoid valve is installed to control valve.
• The primary pressure solenoid valve controls the pr imary reducing valve. For information about the primary
reducing valve, refer to TM-27, "TRANSAXLE : Component Description"
.
• The primary pressure solenoid valve uses the linear solenoid valve [N/H (normal high) type].
NOTE:
• The principle of the linear solenoid valve utilizes the fa ct that the force pressing on the valve spool installed
inside the coil increases nearly in proportion to the current . This allows it to produce a fluid pressure that is
proportional to this pressing force.
• The N/H (normal high) produces hydraulic control when the coil is not energized.
CVT CONTROL SYSTEM : Secondar y Pressure Solenoid ValveINFOID:0000000009463972
• The secondary pressure solenoid valve is installed to control valve.
• The secondary pressure solenoid valve controls the secondary reducing valve. For information about the
secondary reducing valve, refer to TM-27, "TRANSAXLE : Component Description"
.
• The secondary pressure solenoid valve uses the linear solenoid valve [N/H (normal high) type].
NOTE:

• The N/H (normal high) produces hydraulic control when the coil is not energized.
CVT CONTROL SYSTEM : Se lect Solenoid ValveINFOID:0000000009463973
• The select solenoid valve is installed to control valve.
• The select solenoid valve adjusts the tightening pressure of the forward clutch and reverse brake. For infor- mation about the forward clutch and reverse brake, refer to TM-27, "TRANSAXLE : Component Description"
.
• The select solenoid valve uses the linear solenoid valve [N/H (normal high) type].
NOTE:
• The principle of the linear solenoid valve utilizes the fa ct that the force pressing on the valve spool installed
inside the coil increases nearly in proportion to the current . This allows it to produce a fluid pressure that is

CVT CONTROL SYSTEM : Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid ValveINFOID:0000000009463974
• The torque converter clutch solenoid valve is installed to control valve.
• The torque converter clutch solenoid valve controls the torque converter clutch control valve. For information
about the torque converter clutch control valve, refer to TM-27, "TRANSAXLE : Component Description"
.
• The torque converter clutch solenoid valve utilizes a linear solenoid valve [N/L (normal low) type].

• The principle of the linear solenoid valve utilizes the fa
ct that the force pressing on the valve spool installed
inside the coil increases nearly in proportion to the current . This allows it to produce a fluid pressure that is
proportional to this pressing force.
• The N/L (normal low) type does not produce hydr aulic control when the coil is not energized.
CVT CONTROL SYSTEM : Line Pressure Solenoid ValveINFOID:0000000009463975
• The line pressure solenoid valve is installed to control valve.
• The line pressure solenoid valve controls the pressure regulator valve. For information about the pressure
regulator valve, refer to TM-27, "TRANSAXLE : Component Description"
.
• The line pressure solenoid valve uses the linear solenoid valve [N/H (normal high) type]. NOTE:
• The principle of the linear solenoid valve utilizes the fa ct that the force pressing on the valve spool installed

• The N/H (normal high) produces hydraulic control when the coil is not energized.
CVT CONTROL SYSTEM : Overdrive Control SwitchINFOID:0000000009463976
• The overdrive control switch is inst alled to the selector lever knob.
• If the overdrive control switch is pressed when the O/D OFF indicator lamp on the combination meter is not
lit, the status changes to overdrive OFF and the O/D OFF indicator lamp illuminates.
• If the overdrive control switch is pressed when the O/ D OFF indicator lamp on the combination meter is lit,
the overdrive OFF status is canceled and the O/D OFF indicator lamp turns off.
CVT CONTROL SYSTEM : O/D OFF Indicator LampINFOID:0000000009463977
• O/D OFF indicator lamp is positioned on the combination meter.
• The O/D OFF indicator lamp illuminates when the overdrive function is deactivated (O/D OFF).
• For checking the bulb, this lamp turns on for a cert ain period of time when the ignition switch turns ON,
andthen turns off.
CVT CONTROL SYSTEM : Sh ift Position IndicatorINFOID:0000000009463978
TCM transmits shift position signal to combination meter via CAN communication. The actual shift position is
displayed on combination meter according to the signal.

• CVT detects the vehicle driving status from switc hes, sensors and signals, and controls the vehicle so that
the optimum shift position and shift timing may always be achieved. It also controls the vehicle to reduce
shift and lockup shock, etc.
• Receives input signals from switches and sensors.
• Sends the output signal necessary for operation of so lenoid valves, and evaluates the line pressure, shift
timing, lockup operation, engine brake performance, etc.
• If a malfunction occurs on the electric system, activa te the fail-safe mode only to drive the vehicle.
LIST OF CONTROL ITEMS AND INPUT/OUTPUT
*: If these input/output signals show errors, TCM activates the fail-safe function.
CVT CONTROL SYSTEM : Fail-safeINFOID:0000000009463988
TCM has a fail-safe mode. The mode functions so that operation can be continued even if the signal circuit of
the main electronically controlled input/output parts is damaged.
If the vehicle shows following behaviors including “poor acceleration”, a malfunction of the applicable system
is detected by TCM and the vehicle may be in a fail-s afe mode. At this time, check the DTC code and perform
inspection and repair according to the malfunction diagnosis procedures.

CVT CONTROL SYSTEM : Protection Control
INFOID:0000000009463989
The TCM becomes the protection control status temporar ily to protect the safety when the safety of TCM and
transmission is lost. It automatically returns to the normal status if the safety is secured.
The TCM has the following protection control.

Control
When a wheel spin is detected, the engine output and gear ratio are limited and the line pressure is increased.
Limits engine output when a wheel spin occurs in any of right and left drive wheels.
Vehicle behavior in
control If the accelerator is kept depressing during wheel spin, the engine revolution and vehicle speed are limited to
a certain degree.
Normal retu rn condi-
tion Wheel spin convergence returns the control to the normal control.
Control Engine output is controlled according to a vehicle speed while reversing the vehicle.
Vehicle behavior in
control Power performance may be lowered while reversing the vehicle.
Normal retu rn condi-
tion Torque returns to normal by positioning the selector lever in a range other than “R” position.
Control
When the CVT fluid temperature is high, the gear shift permission maximum revolution and the maximum
torque are reduced than usual to prevent increase of the oil temperature.
Vehicle behavior in
control Power performance may be lowered, compared to normal control.
Normal retu rn condi-
tion The control returns to the normal control when CVT fluid temperature is lowered.

SYSTEM DIAGRAM
DESCRIPTION
Highly accurate line pressure control (secondary pressure control) reduces friction for improvement of fuel
economy.
Normal Oil Pressure Control
Appropriate line pressure and secondary pressure suitable for driving condition are determined based on the
accelerator pedal position, engine speed, primary pulley (input) speed, secondary pulley (output) speed, vehi-
cle speed, input torque, stop lamp switch signal, transmission range switch signal, lock-up signal, power volt-
age, target shift ratio, oil temperature, oi l pressure, and overdrive control switch signal.
Secondary Pressure Feedback Control
In normal oil pressure control and oil pressure control in shifting, highly accurate secondary pressure is deter-
mined by detecting the secondary pressure using an oil pressure sensor and by feedback control.
SHIFT CONTROL
Control The reverse brake is controlled to avoid becoming engaged when the selector lever is set in “R” position while
driving in forward direction at more than the specified speed.
Vehicle behavior in
control If the selector lever is put at “R” position when driving with the forward gear, the gear becomes neutral, not
reverse.
Normal return condi-
tion The control returns to normal control when the vehicle is driven at low speeds. (The reverse brake becomes
engaged.)
