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 un it body window directly during laser beam aiming adjustment.
 Follow the CONSULT-III when adju sting the laser beam aiming (laser beam aiming adjustment can-
not be operated without CONSULT-III).
 Never ride on vehicle during l aser beam aiming adjustment.

A/T CONTROL SYSTEM
 This line pressure solenoid controls the pressure regulator valve as the signal pressure and adjusts the pres-
sure 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 TH E TCM LINE PRESSURE CHARACTERISTIC PAT-
TERN
 The TCM has stored in memory a number of patterns fo r the optimum line pressure characteristic for the
driving state.
 In order to obtain the most appropriate line pressure char acteristic 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.

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 ControlINFOID:0000000001327139
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 t he engine load state and vehicle driving state. It becomes
possible to finely control the clutch hydraulic pressu re 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
*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.

Lock-up ControlINFOID:0000000001327140
The torque converter clutch piston in the torque conv erter is engaged to eliminate torque converter slip to
increase power transmission efficiency.
The torque converter clutch control valve operation is c ontrolled by the torque converter clutch solenoid valve,
which is controlled by a signal from TCM, and the to rque converter clutch control valve engages or releases
the torque converter clutch piston.
