FLUID COOLER & FLUID WARMER SYSTEM
Part name Function
Torque converter Increases engine torque and transmits it to the transaxle.
Oil pump Utilizes a vane-type oil pump that is driven by the engine through the oil pump drive chain in order to
increase efficiency of pump discharge volume in low-speed zone and optimize pump discharge volume
in high-speed zone. Discharged oil from oil pump is tr ansmitted to control valve. It is used as the oil of
primary and secondary pulley operation, the oil of clutch operation, and the lubricant for each part.
Forward clutch The forward clutch is wet and multiple plate type clutch that consists of clutch drum, piston, drive plate,
and driven plate. It is a clutch to move the vehicle forward by activating piston hydraulically, engaging
plates, and directly connecting sun gear and input shaft.
Reverse brake The reverse brake is a wet multiple-plate type brake that consists of transaxle case, piston, drive plate,
and driven plate. It is a brake to move the vehicle in reverse by activating piston hydraulically, engaging
plates, and fixing planetary gear.
Internal gear The internal gear is directly connected to forward clutch drum. It is a gear that moves the outer edge of
pinion planet of planet carrier. It transmits power to move the vehicle in reverse when the planet carrier
is fixed.
Planet carrier Composed of a carrier, pinion planet, and pinion shaft. This gear fixes and releases the planet carrier in
order to switch between forward and reverse driving.
Sun gear Sun gear is a set part with planet carrier and internal gear. It transmits transmitted force to primary fixed
sheave. It rotates in forward or reverse direction according to activation of either forward clutch or re-
verse brake.
Input shaft The input shaft is directly connected to forward clutch drum and transmits traction force from torque con-
verter. In shaft center, there are holes for hydraulic distribution to primary pulley and hydraulic distribution
for lockup ON/OFF.
Primary pulley It is composed of a pair of pulleys (the groove width is changed freely in the axial direction) and the steel belt. The groove width changes according to wrapping radius of steel belt and pulley from low status to
overdrive status continuously with non-step. It is controlled with the oil pressures of primary pulley and
secondary pulley.
Secondary pulley
Steel belt
Manual shaft When the manual shaft is in the P position, the parking rod that is linked to the manual shaft rotates the
parking pole. When the parking pole rotates, it engages with the parking gear, fixing the parking gear. As
a result, the secondary pulley that is integrated with the parking gear is fixed.
Parking rod
Parking pawl
Parking gear
Output gear
The deceleration gears are composed of 2 stages: primary deceleration (output gear, idler gear pair) and
secondary deceleration (reduction gear, final gear pair). All of these gears are helical gears.

CVT FLUID COOLER SCHEMATIC
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
CVT Oil Warmer
• The CVT oil warmer (1) is installed on the front part of transaxle
assembly.
• When engine is started while engine and CVT are cold, engine coolant temperature rises more quickly than CVT fluid tempera-
ture. CVT oil warmer is provided with two circuits for CVT and
engine coolant respectively so that warmed engine coolant warms
CVT quickly. This helps shorten CVT warming up time, improving
fuel economy.
• A cooling effect is obtained when CVT fluid temperature is high.
Heater Thermostat
• The heater thermostat (1) is insta lled on the front part of transaxle
assembly.
• The heater thermostat open and close with set temperature.
SHIFT LOCK SYSTEM
SHIFT LOCK SYSTEM : System DescriptionINFOID:0000000009463986
The shift lever cannot be shifted from the “P” positi on unless the brake pedal is depressed while the ignition
switch is set to ON. The shift lock is unlocked by turn ing the shift lock solenoid ON when the ignition switch is
set to ON, the park position switch is turned ON (selec tor lever is in “P” position), and the stop lamp switch is
turned ON (brake pedal is depressed) as shown in the oper ation chart in the figure. Therefore, the shift lock
solenoid receives no ON signal and the shift lock remains locked if all of the above conditions are not fulfilled.
However, selector operation is allowed if the shift lock release button is pressed.

SHIFT LOCK OPERATION AT “P” POSITION
When Brake Pedal Is Not Depressed (No Selector Operation Allowed)
The shift lock solenoid (A) is turned OFF (not energized) and the
solenoid rod (B) is extended with the spring when the brake pedal is
not depressed (no selector operation allowed) with the ignition
switch ON.
The connecting lock lever (C) is located at the position shown in the
figure when the solenoid rod is extended. It prevents the movement
of the detent rod (D). For these r easons, the selector lever cannot be
shifted from the “P” position.
When Brake Pedal Is Depressed (Shift Operation Allowed)
The shift lock solenoid (A) is turned ON (energized) when the brake
pedal is depressed with the ignition switch ON. The solenoid rod (B)
is compressed by the electromagnetic force. The connecting lock
lever (C) rotates when the solenoid is activated. Therefore, the
detent rod (D) can be moved. For t hese reasons, the selector lever
can be shifted to other positions.
“P” POSITION HOLD MECHANISM (IGNITION SWITCH LOCK)
The shift lock solenoid (A) is not energized when the ignition switch
is in any position other than ON. In this condition, the shift mecha-
nism is locked and “P” position is held. The operation cannot be per-
formed from “P” position if the brake pedal is depressed with the
ignition switch ON when the operation system of shift lock solenoid is
malfunctioning. However, the lock lever (B) is forcibly rotated and the
shift lock is released when the shift lock release button (C) is
pressed from above. Then the sele ctor operation from “P” position
can be performed.
CAUTION:
Use the shift lock release button only when the selector lever canno t be operated even if the brake
pedal is depressed with the ignition switch ON.

• 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.

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.

REVERSE PROHIBIT CONTROL
LINE PRESSURE CONTROL
LINE PRESSURE CONTROL : System DescriptionINFOID:0000000009463990
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.)
