TCM Function INFOID:0000000004305576
The function of the TCM is to:
• Receive input signals sent from various switches and sensors.
• Determine required line pressure, shifting point, and lock-up operation.
• Send required output signals to the step motor and the respective solenoids.
CONTROL SYSTEM OUTLINE The CVT senses vehicle operating conditions through vari ous sensors. It always controls the optimum shift
position and reduces shifting and lock-up shocks. SCIA1807E

Line Pressure and Secondary Pressure Control INFOID:0000000004305579
• 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 valve and secondary pressure solenoid valve.
• This line pressure solenoid controls the pressure regulat or 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. Secondary pressure is cont rolled by decreasing line pressure.
NORMAL CONTROL Optimize the line pressure and secondary pressure, dependi ng on driving conditions, on the basis of the throt-
tle position, the engine speed, the primary pulley (input ) revolution speed, the secondary pulley (output) revo-
lution speed, the brake signal, the PNP switch signal, the lock-up signal, the voltage, the target gear ratio, the
fluid temperature, and the fluid pressure.
FEEDBACK CONTROL When controlling the normal fluid pressure or the sele cted fluid pressure, the secondary pressure can be set
more accurately by using the fluid pressure sensor to detect the secondary pressure and controlling the feed-
back.
Shift Control INFOID:0000000004305580
In order to select the gear ratio which can obtain the dr iving force in accordance with driver's intention and the
vehicle condition, TCM monitors the driving conditions, such as the vehicle speed and the throttle position and
selects the optimum gear ratio, and determines the gear change steps to the gear ratio. Then send the com-

mand to the step motor, and control the flow-in/flow-out of line pressure from the primary pulley to determine
the position of the moving-pulley and control the gear ratio.
NOTE:
The gear ratio is set for every position separately.
“D” POSITION
Shifting over all the ranges of gear ratios from the lowest to the high-
est.
OVERDRIVE-OFF MODE
Use this position for the improved engine braking.
“L” POSITION
By limiting the gear range to the lowest position, the strong driving
force and the engine brake can be secured.
DOWNHILL ENGINE BRAKE CONTROL (AUTO ENGINE BRAKE CONTROL)
When downhill is detected with the accelerator pedal released, the engine brake will be strengthened up by
downshifting so as not to accelerate the vehicle more than necessary.
ACCELERATION CONTROL
According to vehicle speed and a change of accelerator pedal angle, driver's request for acceleration and driv-
ing scene are judged. This function assists improvem ent in acceleration feeling by making the engine speed
proportionate to the vehicle speed. And a shift map which can gain a larger driving force is available for com-
patibility of mileage with driveability. SCIA7958E

• 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 controlled by the torque converter clutch solenoid
valve, which is controlled by a signal from TCM. The torque converter clutch control valve engages or
releases the torque converter clutch piston.
• When shifting between “N” (“P”) ⇔ “D” (“R”), torque converter clutch solenoid controls engagement power of
forward clutch and reverse brake.
• The lock-up applied gear range was expanded by locking up the torque converter at a lower vehicle speed than conventional CVT
models.
TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH AND SELECT CONTROL VALVE CONTROL
Lock-up and Select Control System Diagram
Lock-up Released In the lock-up released state, the torque converter clutch control valve is set into the unlocked state by the
torque converter clutch solenoid and the lock-up apply pressure is drained.
In this way, the torque converter clutch piston is not coupled.
Lock-up Applied In the lock-up applied state, the torque converter clutch control valve is set into the locked state by the torque
converter clutch solenoid and lock-up apply pressure is generated.
In this way, the torque converter clutch piston is pressed and coupled.
Select Control When shifting between “N” (“P”) ⇔“D” (“R”), optimize the operating pressure on the basis of the throttle posi-
tion, the engine speed, and the secondary pulley (out put) revolution speed to lessen the shift shock.
