•In the powertrain system, the hydraulic pressure transported by the control valve operates the clutch, and
brake, and the planetary gear changes the gear ratio according to the driving conditions.
Structure
•The powertrain system consists of seven pairs of clutches, brake, brake band, two pairs of one-way clutches,
and simple type planetary gears.

CONTROLLER AREA NETWORK (CAN) DESCRIPTIONA6E571418901201Outline
•The TCM transmits/receives information using the CAN system. See Section T for detailed information
regarding the CAN system.
Structure/Operation
•The PCM inputs throttle opening angle, engine speed, engine torque, engine coolant temperature. to the TCM.
•The TCM operates shift and TCC controls based on the throttle opening angle, and controls line pressure and
other based on the throttle opening angle and the engine torque.
•The TCM outputs reduce torque signal, range signal, turbine speed, ATF temperature signal, and TCC signal to
the PCM.
•If there is an open or short circuit in the CAN wiring, the system determines that the CAN is abnormal and
switches to fail-safe mode.
Input

Operation
Range determination
•Each range is determined by operating the selector lever, and switching ON/OFF the switch in the TR switch
internal circuit. The present range is detected according to the ON/OFF signal of the switch.
•The following switches are built into the TR switch, and determine each range when the switch is on.

MANUAL MODE SHIFT CONTROL DESCRIPTIONA6E571418901204Outline
Features
•The manual mode shift control is activated by moving the selector lever from the D to M range position (selector
lever is shifted over toward front passenger side).
•Manual mode shift control with a manual shifting system allowing selection of gear positions by manual
operation of the selector lever forward (-) and back (+) has been adopted. Moreover, engine braking for all
gears in manual mode according to the gear ratio is available.
— Shifting between 1GR and 2GR when the vehicle is stopped is possible.
— When shifting from the D to M range while driving, the same gear position is maintained.
— Consecutive shifting in the M range has been adopted. When shifting down from M range 4GR or 3GR, one
gear can be skipped over by rapidly tapping the selector lever two times in the down-shift (-) direction.
•Selector lever position and gear position indicator lights, built into the instrument cluster, have been adopted.
— The selector indicator light includes a selector lever position indicator that displays selector lever positions
and, a gear position indicator light that displays gear positions.

ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD) SYSTEM DESCRIPTIONA6E571418901210•The OBD system has the following functions:
—Failure detection function: detects failure of the input/output devices and system components of the ATX.
—Memory function: stores the DTC when a failure is detected.
—Fail-safe function: fixes the output device function and input value of the sensors/switches to ensure
minimum vehicle drivability when a failure is detected.
—PID data monitoring function: monitors the input/output signal and calculated value of the TCM and sends
the monitoring data to the scan tool.
Block Diagram
.
Failure Detection Function
•In the failure detection function, the TCM detects malfunctions in the automatic transaxle while driving.
•When vehicle driving conditions correspond with a preset failure detection condition, the TCM determines that
the automatic transaxle has a malfunction and stores the corresponding DTC.
•When a malfunction is detected, stored DTCs can be retrieved using the WDS connected to the DLC-2.
