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.

SELF-DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE (WITH CONSULT-II)NLAT0022S021. Turn on CONSULT-II and touch ªENGINEº for EURO-OBD
detected items or touch ªCVTº for TCM self-diagnosis.
If CVT is not displayed, check TCM power supply and ground
circuit. Refer to AT-58. If result is NG, refer to EL section
(ªPOWER SUPPLY ROUTINGº).

2. Touch ªSELF-DIAG RESULTSº.
Display shows malfunction experienced since the last erasing
operation.
CONSULT-II performs REAL TIME DIAGNOSIS.
Also, any malfunction detected while in this mode will be dis-
played at real time.
