TCM FUNCTION=NLAT0014S03The 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.
INPUT/OUTPUT SIGNAL OF TCMNLAT0014S04
Switches, sensors and actuators Function
InputPNP switch Detects select lever position and sends a signal to TCM.
Throttle position sensor Detects throttle valve position and sends a signal to TCM.
Closed throttle position switch Detects throttle valve's fully-closed position and sends a signal to TCM.
Wide open throttle position switchDetects a throttle valve position of greater than 1/2 of full throttle and
sends a signal to TCM.
Engine speed signal From ECM.
CVT fluid temperature sensor Detects transmission fluid temperature and sends a signal to TCM.
CVT fluid pressure sensor Detects transmission fluid pressure and sends a signal to TCM.
Primary speed sensor Detects primary pulley rpm and sends a signal to TCM.
Secondary speed sensor Detects secondary pulley rpm and sends a signal to TCM.
Stop lamp switchSends a signal to the TCM relaying the operation condition of the brake
pedal.
SPORT mode switchSends a signal to the TCM relaying the operation condition of the SPORT
mode switch.
ABS control unit Sends a signal to the TCM operation condition of the ABS.
OutputStep motor Regulates pulley position in relation to a signal sent from TCM.
Line pressure solenoid valveRegulates (or decreases) line pressure suited to driving conditions in rela-
tion to a signal sent from TCM.
Torque converter clutch solenoid
valveRegulates (or decreases) lock-up pressure suited to driving conditions in
relation to a signal sent from TCM.
SPORT indicator lamp Shows the operation condition of the SPORT mode switch.

Precautions
PRECAUTIONSNLAX0022+When installing each rubber part, final tightening must be
carried out under unladen condition* with tires on ground.
*: Fuel, radiator coolant and engine oil full. Spare tire, jack,
hand tools and mats in designated positions.
+Use flare nut wrench when removing or installing brake
tubes.
+After installing removed suspension parts, check wheel
alignment.
+Do not jack up at the trailing arm and lateral link.
+Always torque brake lines when installing.
