INTRODUCTION
The TCM receives signals from the vehicle speed sensor and PNP switch. Then it provides shift control or
lock-up control via CVT solenoid valves.
The TCM also communicates with the ECM by means of signals
sent from sensing elements used with the OBD-related parts of the
CVT system for malfunction-diagnostic purposes. The TCM is capa-
ble of diagnosing malfunctioning parts while the ECM can store mal-
functions in its memory.
Input and output signals must always be correct and stable in the
operation of the CVT system. The CVT system must be in good
operating condition and be free of valve seizure, solenoid valve mal-
function, etc.
It is much more difficult to diagnose a malfunction that occurs inter-
mittently rather than continuously. Most intermittent malfunctions are
caused by poor electric connections or improper wiring. In this case,
careful checking of suspected circuits may help prevent the replace-
ment of good parts.
A visual check only may not find the cause of the malfunctions. A
road test with CONSULT-III (or GST) or a circuit tester connected
should be performed. Follow the “DETAILED FLOW”.
Before undertaking actual checks, take a few minutes to talk with a
customer who approaches with a driveability complaint. The cus-
tomer can supply good information about such malfunctions, espe-
cially intermittent ones. Find out what symptoms are present and
under what conditions they occur. A “Diagnostic Work Sheet” as
shown on the example (Refer to TM-10
) should be used.
Start your diagnosis by looking for “conventional” malfunctions first.
This will help troubleshoot driveability malfunctions on an electroni-
cally controlled engine vehicle.
Also check related Service Bulletins.
DETAILED FLOW
1.COLLECT THE INFORMATION FROM THE CUSTOMER
Get the detailed information from the customer about the symptom (the condition and the environment when
the incident/malfunction occurred) using the diagnosis work sheet. Refer to TM-10, "
Diagnostic Work Sheet".

2.CHECK SYMPTOM 1
Check the following items based on the information obtained from the customer.
Fail-safe. Refer to TM-120, "

ON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD) SYSTEM
Diagnosis DescriptionINFOID:0000000003848943
DESCRIPTION
The CVT system has two self-diagnostic systems.
The first is the emission-related on board diagnostic system (OBD) performed by the TCM in combination with
the ECM. A malfunction is indicated by the MI (Malfunction Indicator) and is stored as a DTC in the ECM mem-
ory and in the TCM memory.
The second is the TCM original self-diagnosis performed by the TCM. A malfunction history is stored in the
TCM memory. The detected items are overlapped with OBD self-diagnostic items. For details, refer to TM-121,
"DTC Index".
OBD FUNCTION
The ECM provides emission-related on board diagnostic (OBD) functions for the CVT system. One function is
to receive a signal from the TCM used with OBD-related parts of the CVT system. The signal is sent to the
ECM when a malfunction occurs in the corresponding OBD-related part. The other function is to indicate a
diagnostic result by means of the MI (Malfunction Indicator) on the instrument panel. Sensors, switches and
solenoid valves are used as sensing elements.
The MI automatically illuminates in “One or Two Trip Detection Logic” when a malfunction is sensed in relation
to CVT system parts.
ONE OR TWO TRIP DETECTION LOGIC OF OBD
One Trip Detection Logic
If a malfunction is sensed during the first test drive, the MI illuminates and the ECM memory stores the mal-
function as a DTC. The TCM is not provided with such a memory function.
Two Trip Detection Logic
When a malfunction is sensed during the first test drive, it is stored in the ECM memory as a 1st trip DTC
(diagnostic trouble code) or 1st trip freeze frame data. At this point, the MI does not illuminate. — 1st trip
If the same malfunction as that experienced during the first test drive is sensed during the second test drive,
the MI will illuminate. — 2nd trip
The “trip” in the “One or Two Trip Detection Logic” means a driving mode in which self-diagnosis is performed
during vehicle operation.
OBD DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC)
How to Read DTC and 1st Trip DTC
DTC and 1st trip DTC can be read by the following methods.
( with CONSULT-III or GST) CONSULT-III or GST (Generic Scan Tool) Examples: P0705, P0720, etc.
These DTC are prescribed by ISO 15031-6.
(CONSULT-III also displays the malfunctioning component or system.)
1st trip DTC No. is the same as DTC No.
Output of the diagnostic trouble code indicates that the indicated circuit has a malfunction. How-
ever, in case of the Mode II and GST, they do not indicate whether the malfunction is still occurring or
it occurred in the past and has returned to normal.
CONSULT-III can identify them as shown below, therefore, CONSULT-III (if available) is recom-
mended.
- DTC or 1st trip DTC of a malfunction is displayed in “Self-Diagnostic Results” mode for “ENGINE” with CON-
SULT-III. Time data indicates how many times the vehicle was driven after the last detection of a DTC.
- If the DTC is being detected currently, the time data will be “0”.
- If a 1st trip DTC is stored in the ECM, the time data will be “1t”.
Freeze Frame Data and 1st Trip Freeze Frame Data The ECM has a memory function, which stores the driving conditions such as fuel system status, calculated
load value, engine coolant temperature, short-term fuel trim, long-term fuel trim, engine speed and vehicle
speed at the moment the ECM detects a malfunction.
Data that are stored in the ECM memory, along with the 1st trip DTC, are called 1st trip freeze frame data,
and the data, stored together with the DTC data, are called freeze frame data and displayed on CONSULT-
III or GST. The 1st trip freeze frame data can only be displayed on the CONSULT-III screen, not on the GST.
For details, refer to EC-113, "
CONSULT-III Function".

The shift pattern is changed in accordance with the throttle position when an unexpected signal is sent from
the output speed sensor (secondary speed sensor) to the TCM. The sport mode is inhibited, and the transaxle
is put in “D”.
Input Speed Sensor (Primary Speed Sensor)
The shift pattern is changed in accordance with the throttle position and secondary speed (vehicle speed)
when an unexpected signal is sent from the input speed sensor (primary speed sensor) to the TCM. The sport
mode is inhibited, and the transaxle is put in “D”.
PNP Switch
If an unexpected signal is sent from the PNP switch to the TCM, the transaxle is put in “D”.
CVT Fluid Temperature Sensor
If an unexpected signal is sent from the CVT fluid temperature sensor to the TCM, the gear ratio in use before
receiving the unexpected signal is maintained or the gear ratio is controlled to keep engine speed under 5,000
rpm.
Transmission Fluid Pressure Sensor A (Secondary Pressure Sensor)
If an unexpected signal is sent from the transmission fluid pressure sensor A (secondary pressure sensor) to
the TCM, the secondary pressure feedback control is stopped and the offset value obtained before the non-
standard condition occurs is used to control line pressure.
If transmission fluid pressure sensor A (secondary pressure sensor) error signal is inputted to the TCM, sec-
ondary pressure feedback control stops, but line pressure is controlled normally.
Pressure Control Solenoid A (Line Pressure Solenoid Valve)
If an unexpected signal is sent from the solenoid valve to the TCM, the pressure control solenoid A (line pres-
sure solenoid valve) is turned OFF to achieve the maximum fluid pressure.
Pressure Control Solenoid B (Secondary Pressure Solenoid Valve)
If an unexpected signal is sent from the solenoid valve to the TCM, the pressure control solenoid B (secondary
pressure solenoid valve) is turned OFF to achieve the maximum fluid pressure.
Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid Valve
If an unexpected signal is sent from the solenoid valve to the TCM, the torque converter clutch solenoid valve
is turned OFF to cancel the lock-up.
Ste p M oto r
If an unexpected signal is sent from the step motor to the TCM, the step motor coil phases “A” through “D” are
all turned OFF to hold the gear ratio used just before the non-standard condition occurred.
CVT Lock-up Select Solenoid Valve
If an unexpected signal is sent from the solenoid valve to the TCM, the CVT lock-up select solenoid valve is
turned OFF to cancel the lock-up.
TCM Power Supply (Memory Back-up)
Transaxle assembly is protected by limiting the engine torque when the memory back-up power supply (for
controlling) from the battery is not supplied to the TCM. Normal status is restored when turning the ignition
switch OFF to ON after the normal power supply.
