COMPONENTS
CAUTION:

If transaxle assembly is removed from the vehicle, always replace CSC (Concentric slave cylin-
der). Return CSC insert to original position to remove transaxle assembly. Dust on clutch disc
sliding parts may damage CSC seal and may cause clutch fluid leakage.

Be careful not to apply any grease to the clutch disc facing, pressure plate surface and flywheel
surface.
REMOVAL
1. Remove transaxle assembly from the vehicle. Refer to MT-15, "Removal and Installation" .
2. Loosen clutch cover bolts evenly. Then remove clutch cover and clutch disc.
INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT AFTER REMOVAL
Clutch Disc

Check clutch disc for backlash of spline and runout of facing.

Check clutch disc for burns, discoloration or oil or grease leak-
age. Replace if necessary.

Measure backlash to clutch disc spline and input shaft spline at
the circumference of clutch disc. If outside the specification,
replace clutch disc.
1. Flywheel 2. Clutch disc *1, *2 3. Clutch cover
Apply lithium-based grease including molybdenum disulphide.
*1. Do not clean in solvent. *2. When installing, be careful that grease applied to input shaft does not adhere to
clutch disc.

Checking Radiator CapEBS00T7E

Check valve seat of radiator cap.
–Check if valve seat is swollen to the extent that the edge of the
plunger cannot be seen when watching it vertically from the top.
–Check if valve seat has no soil and damage.

Pull negative-pressure valve to open it, and make sure that it is
completely closed when released.
–Make sure that there is no dirt or damage on the valve seat of
radiator cap negative-pressure valve.
–Make sure that the valve operates properly in the opening and
closing conditions.

Check radiator cap relief pressure using Tool.
–When connecting the radiator cap to the tester, apply water or
coolant to the cap seal surface.
–Replace the radiator cap if there is an abnormality in the nega-
tive-pressure valve, or if the open-valve pressure is outside of
the standard values.

Replace radiator cap if there it does not comply to specifications to the above three checks.
CAUTION:
When installing radiator cap, thoroughly wipe out the radiator filler neck to remove any waxy residue
or foreign material.
Checking RadiatorEBS00T7F
Check radiator for mud or clogging. If necessary, clean radiator as follows.

Be careful not to bend or damage radiator fins.

When radiator is cleaned without removal, remove all surrounding parts such as cooling fan, radiator
shroud and horns. Then tape harness and connectors to prevent water from entering.
1. Apply water by hose to the back side of the radiator core vertically downward.
2. Apply water again to all radiator core surface once per minute.
3. Stop washing if any stains no longer flow out from radiator.
4. Blow air into the back side of radiator core vertically downward.

Use compressed air lower than 490 kPa (4.9 bar, 5 kg/cm2 , 71 psi) and keep distance more than 30 cm
(11.8 in).

Line Pressure and Secondary Pressure ControlUCS005XW

When an input torque signal equivalent to the engine drive force is sent from the ECM to the TCM, the
TCM controls the line pressure solenoid valve and secondary pressure solenoid valve.

This line pressure solenoid controls the pressure regulator valve as the signal pressure and adjusts the
pressure of the operating oil discharged from the oil pump to the line pressure most appropriate to the
driving state. Secondary pressure is controlled by decreasing line pressure.
NORMAL CONTROL
Optimize the line pressure and secondary pressure, depending on driving conditions, on the basis of the throt-
tle position, the engine speed, the primary pulley (input) revolution speed, the secondary pulley (output) revo-
lution speed, the brake signal, the PNP switch signal, the lock-up signal, the voltage, the target gear ratio, the
fluid temperature, and the fluid pressure.
FEEDBACK CONTROL
When controlling the normal fluid pressure or the selected fluid pressure, the secondary pressure can be set
more accurately by using the fluid pressure sensor to detect the secondary pressure and controlling the feed-
back.
Shift ControlUCS005XX
In order to select the gear ratio which can obtain the driving force in accordance with driver's intention and the
vehicle condition, TCM monitors the driving conditions, such as the vehicle speed and the throttle position and
selects the optimum gear ratio, and determines the gear change steps to the gear ratio. Then send the com-
mand to the step motor, and control the flow-in/flow-out of line pressure from the primary pulley to determine
the position of the moving-pulley and control the gear ratio.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS

TROUBLE DIAGNOSISPFP:00004
DTC Inspection Priority ChartUCS005Y5
If some DTCs are displayed at the same time, perform inspections one by one based on the following priority
chart.
NOTE:
If DTC “U1000 CAN COMM CIRCUIT” is displayed with other DTCs, first perform the trouble diagnosis
for “DTC U1000 CAN COMMUNICATION LINE”. Refer to CVT-68
.
Fail-safeUCS005Y6
The TCM has an electrical fail-safe mode. This mode makes it possible to operate even if there is an error in a
main electronic control input/output signal circuit.
FAIL -S AFE F UN CTI ON
If any malfunction occurs in a sensor or solenoid, this function controls the CVT to make driving possible.
Output Speed Sensor (Secondary Speed Sensor)
The shift pattern is changed in accordance with throttle position when an unexpected signal is sent from the
output speed sensor (secondary speed sensor) to the TCM. The overdrive-off mode is inhibited, and the tran-
saxle is put in “D”.
Input Speed Sensor (Primary Speed Sensor)
The shift pattern is changed in accordance with throttle position and secondary speed (vehicle speed) when
an unexpected signal is sent from the input speed sensor (primary speed sensor) to the TCM. The sport mode
is inhibited, and the transaxle is put in “D”.
PNP Switch
If an unexpected signal is sent from the PNP switch to the TCM, the transaxle is put in “D”.
CVT Fluid Temperature Sensor
If an unexpected signal is sent from the CVT fluid temperature sensor to the TCM, the gear ratio in use before
receiving the unexpected signal is maintained or the gear ratio is controlled to keep engine speed under 3500
rpm.
Transmission Fluid Pressure Sensor A (Secondary Pressure Sensor)

If an unexpected signal is sent from the transmission fluid pressure sensor A (secondary pressure sensor)
to the TCM, the secondary pressure feedback control is stopped and the offset value obtained before the
non-standard condition occurs is used to control line pressure.

If transmission fluid pressure sensor A (secondary pressure sensor) error signal is input to TCM, second-
ary pressure feedback control stops, but line pressure is controlled normally.
Pressure Control Solenoid A (Line Pressure Solenoid)
If an unexpected signal is sent from the solenoid to the TCM, the pressure control solenoid A (line pressure
solenoid) is turned OFF to achieve the maximum fluid pressure.
Pressure Control Solenoid B (Secondary Pressure Solenoid)
If an unexpected signal is sent from the solenoid to the TCM, the pressure control solenoid B (secondary pres-
sure solenoid) is turned OFF to achieve the maximum fluid pressure.
Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid
If an unexpected signal is sent from the solenoid to the TCM, the torque converter clutch solenoid is turned
OFF to cancel the lock-up.
Step Motor
If an unexpected signal is sent from the step motor to the TCM, the step motor coil phases “A” through “D” are
all turned OFF to hold the gear ratio used right before the non-standard condition occurred.

LINE PRESSURE TEST
Line Pressure Test Port
Line Pressure Test Procedure
1. Inspect the amount of engine oil and replenish if necessary.
2. Drive the car for about 10 minutes to warm it up so that the CVT fluid reaches in the range of 50 to 80°C
(122 to 176°F), then inspect the amount of CVT fluid and replenish if necessary.
NOTE:
The CVT fluid temperature rises in the range of 50 - 80°C (122 - 176°F) during 10 minutes of driving.
3. After warming up CVT, remove the oil pressure detection plug and install the oil pressure gauge [special
service tool: - (OTC3492)].
CAUTION:
When using the oil pressure gauge, be sure to use the O-ring attached to the oil pressure detec-
tion plug.
4. Securely engage the parking brake so that the tires do not turn.
5. Start the engine, and then measure the line pressure at both idle
and the stall speed.
CAUTION:

Keep the brake pedal pressed all the way down during
measurement.

When measuring the line pressure at the stall speed,
refer to CVT-43, "
STALL TEST" .
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.
