Electronic Control Item and Control
Component Description (Electronic Control)
Control item Contents
Shift control•Detects engine load condition and vehicle speed. Shifts to the best gear
position according to the programmed automatic shift diagram.
Line pressure control•Generates line pressure matching the engine load condition and driving
conditions. Optimizes line pressure for each shift. When the ATF
temperature is low, automatically optimizes line pressure for quick clutch
engagement.
Revers inhibition control•When the shift lever is shifted to R position while the vehicle is running
forward at approx. 30 km/h{19 mph} or more, the TCM turns the neutral
shift solenoid valve on and drains the low and reverse brake hydraulic
pressure. Due to this, the transaxle shifts to neutral.
Shift transient control•Adjusts transient hydraulic pressure according to engine load and
vehicle driving conditions when shifting using the pressure control
solenoid, 2-4 brake solenoid valve, the high clutch solenoid valve, and
each accumulator control valve.
•Temporarily lowers engine torque during shift (up and down) to improve
shift feel
•The lock timing for the reduction brake band is controlled by the control
of the reduction timing solenoid valve ON/OFF timing.
•The lock timing for the clutch brake is controlled by the control of shift
solenoid A, B, and C ON/OFF timing.
Feedback control•Corrects clutch engagement pressure and timing on drain side to
compensate for changes in engine performance and changes in
transaxle
TCC control•Controls TCC according to the programmed TCC points
N-D select control•When a driving range is selected from P/N, the fuel injection amount is
controlled to prevent fluctuation in engine speed.
Slope mode control•Changes the shift point to prevent frequent shifting up/down when
climbing hills
OBD system•Detects and/or memorizes failure of input/output part and transaxle
condition
Part name Function
Input system TR switch•Detects selector lever ranges/positions
Input/turbine speed sensor•Detects reverse clutch drum revolution speed
Intermediate sensor•Detects output gear revolution speed
Vehicle speedometer sensor•Detects parking gear revolution speed
TFT sensor•Detects the ATF temperature
Brake switch•Detects the brake pedal depressed
Cruise control module (in cruise actuator)•When the cruise control is in use, the signal detects when the
difference between the target speed and actual speed
exceeds specification
M range switch•Detects selector lever shifted M range
Up switch•Detects up shift in M range
Down switch•Detects down shift in M range

Operation
Upshift clutch engagement pressure feedback
•Clutch pressure (2) is learned so that gear shift time (1) becomes a predetermined target value, and thus
changes in performance and changes in the transaxle over time are minimized based on past gear shift results.
Upshift timing feedback (release-side clutch pressure)
•Clutch pressure release timing on the release side (2) is learned so that the change in engine speed (1) is
optimized, and thus clutch pressures on the engagement and release sides are optimized.
End Of SieN-D SELECT CONTROL DESCRIPTIONA6E571418901207•When the selector lever is switched from the P or N position to the driving ranges, or vice versa, the engine
speed change is minimized by regulating fuel injection volume in order to improve select feel.
•Range signals are output to the PCM in the following instances:
When the selector lever is switched from the P or N position to the driving ranges, or vice versa, and the
specified time has elapsed.
•The PCM regulates fuel injection volume based on inhibitor signals prevent change in engine speed.

SUSPENSION CONTROL SYSTEMA6E741601013201Outline
•The self-leveling suspension is a system that adjusts the vehicle height according the amount of vehicle load.
This system will raise the rear of a vehicle, lowered due to a load placed on it, to the designated load level
* after
the vehicle has been driven a certain distance.
•The vehicle height adjustment is performed using a gas-pressurized pump function built into the rear shock
absorber.
•For the vehicle height to return to the designated load level, the vehicle must be driven approx. 5—6 km {3.1—
3.7 miles} in city driving conditions. (Distance will vary due to load and road conditions.)
•A load amount of approx. 140—300 kg {308—660 lb} at the rear axle will cause the vehicle height to be raised,
and any weight over that will prevent the vehicle from returning to the designated load level.
*: Designated load level is defined as the level at which the vehicle is with: a full fuel tank; engine coolant and oil at
specified levels; spare tire, jack and tools in designated positions; and four people, weighing 55 kg {121 lb} each,
riding in the vehicle.
