CAN CommunicationAKS00815
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle mul-
tiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Many elec-
tric control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with other
control units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control units are connected with 2
communication lines (CAN H line, CAN L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission with less wiring.
Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only.
CAN COMMUNICATION UNIT
Refer to LAN-6, "CAN Communication Unit" .
Switch OperationAKS006YF
The system is operated by a master ON/OFF switch and four control switches, all mounted on the steering
wheel.

Shift MechanismACS002LE
The automatic transmission uses compact triple planetary gear systems to improve power-transmission effi-
ciency, simplify construction and reduce weight.
It also employs an optimum shift control and super wide gear ratios. They improve starting performance and
acceleration during medium and high-speed operation.

POWER TRANSMISSION
“N” Position
Since both the forward brake and the reverse brake are released, torque from the input shaft drive is not trans-
mitted to the output shaft.
“P” Position
The same as for the “N” position, both the forward brake and the reverse brake are released, so torque
from the input shaft drive is not transmitted to the output shaft.
The parking pawl linked with the selector lever meshes with the parking gear and fastens the output shaft
mechanically.

“D1 ” Position
The forward brake and the forward one-way clutch regulate reverse rotation of the mid sun gear.
The 1st one-way clutch regulates reverse rotation of the rear sun gear.
The 3rd one-way clutch regulates reverse rotation of the front sun gear.
During deceleration, the mid sun gear turns forward, so the forward one-way clutch idles and the engine
brake is not activated.
