Revision: 2006 December 2006 FX35/FX45
LASER BEAM AIMING ADJUSTMENTPFP:00026
OutlineNKS003EQ
Adjust the laser beam aiming every time the ICC sensor is removed or installed.
CAUTION:

Adjust laser beam aiming at a horizontal place as far as 12 m (39 ft) forward the vehicle can be
seen.

Adjust laser beam aiming 5 seconds after starting engine.

Never view ICC sensor integrated unit body window directly during laser beam aiming adjustment.

Follow the CONSULT-ll when adjusting the laser beam aiming (laser beam aiming adjustment can-
not be operated without CONSULT-ll).

Never ride on vehicle during laser beam aiming adjustment.

Idle and turn headlamps OFF during laser beam aiming adjustment.
PreparationNKS003ER

Adjust the tire pressure to the specified value.

See that there is no load in the vehicle.

Coolant, engine oil filled up to correct level and full fuel tank.

Shift the gear into “P” position and release the parking brake.

Clean the ICC sensor with a soft cloth.
Outline of Adjustment ProcedureNKS003ES
1. Set up the ICC target board [KV99110100 (J-45718)].
2. Adjust the sensor following the procedure on CONSULT-II. (Turn manually the screw for up-down position adjustment. ICC sensor automatically adjust the right-left position.)
Setting the ICC Target BoardNKS003ET
Accurate ICC target board setting is required for the laser beam aiming adjustment.
CAUTION:
ICC system does not function normally if laser beam aiming is not accurate.
ADJUSTING HEIGHT OF THE TARGET
1. Attach a triangle scale at the center.

A/T CONTROL SYSTEM
Revision: 2006 December 2006 FX35/FX45
Line Pressure ControlNCS001B2

When an input torque signal equivalent to the engine drive force is sent from the ECM to the TCM, the
TCM controls the line pressure solenoid.

This line pressure solenoid controls the pressure regulator valve as the signal pressure and adjusts the
pressure of the operating oil discharged from the oil pump to the line pressure most appropriate to the
driving state.
LINE PRESSURE CONTROL IS BASED ON THE TCM LINE PRESSURE CHARACTERISTIC
PATTERN

The TCM has stored in memory a number of patterns for the optimum line pressure characteristic for the
driving state.

In order to obtain the most appropriate line pressure characteristic to meet the current driving state, the
TCM controls the line pressure solenoid current valve and thus controls the line pressure.
Normal Control
Each clutch is adjusted to the necessary pressure to match the
engine drive force.
Back-up Control (Engine Brake)
When the select operation is performed during driving and the trans-
mission is shifted down, the line pressure is set according to the
vehicle speed.

During Shift Change
The necessary and adequate line pressure for shift change is set.
For this reason, line pressure pattern setting corresponds to input
torque and gearshift selection. Also, line pressure characteristic is
set according to engine speed, during engine brake operation.
At Low Fluid Temperature
When the A/T fluid temperature drops below the prescribed tempera-
ture, in order to speed up the action of each friction element, the line
pressure is set higher than the normal line pressure characteristic.
Shift ControlNCS001B3
The clutch pressure control solenoid is controlled by the signals from the switches and sensors. Thus, the
clutch pressure is adjusted to be appropriate to the engine load state and vehicle driving state. It becomes
possible to finely control the clutch hydraulic pressure with high precision and a smoother shift change charac-
teristic is attained.
SHIFT CHANGE
The clutch is controlled with the optimum timing and oil pressure by the engine speed, engine torque informa-
tion, etc.

A/T CONTROL SYSTEM
Revision: 2006 December 2006 FX35/FX45
Shift Change System Diagram
*1: Full phase real-time feedback control monitors movement of gear ratio at gear change, and controls oil
pressure at real-time to achieve the best gear ratio.
BLIPPING CONTROL
This system makes transmission clutch engage readily by controlling (synchronizing) engine revolution
according to the (calculation of) engine revolution after shifting down.

“BLIPPING CONTROL” functions.
–When downshifting by accelerator pedal depression at “D” position.
–When downshifting under the manual mode.

TCM selects “BLIPPING CONTROL” or “NORMAL SHIFT CONTROL” according to the gear position, the
select lever position, the engine torque and the speed when accelerating by accelerator pedal depression.

Revolution control demand signal is transmitted from TCM to ECM under “BLIPPING CONTROL”.

TCM synchronizes engine revolution according to the revolution control demand signal.
