CAN CommunicationINFOID:0000000005397774
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
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 s
peed and excellent error detection ability. Many elec-
tronic control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with other
control units during operation (not independent). In CA N 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. For details, refer to LAN-7,

CVT SYSTEM
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.

6. While holding down the foot brake, gradually press down the accelerator pedal.
7. Quickly read off the stall speed, and then quickly remove your foot from the accelerator pedal.
CAUTION:
Do not hold down the accelerat or pedal for more than 5 sec-
onds during this test.
8. Move the selector lever to the “N” position.
9. Cool down the CVT fluid. CAUTION:
Run the engine at idle for at least 1 minute.
10. Repeat steps 6 through 9 with selector lever in “R” position.
Judgement Stall Test
O: Stall speed within standard value position.
H: Stall speed is higher than standard value.
L: Stall speed is lower than standard value.
LINE PRESSURE TEST
Line Pressure Test Port
Line Pressure Test Procedure
1. Inspect the amount of engine oil and replenish if necessary.
2. Drive the car for about 10 minutes to warm it up so that the CVT fluid reaches in the range of 50 to 80°C
(122 to 176 °F), then inspect the amount of CVT fluid and replenish if necessary.

Road TestINFOID:0000000005397791
DESCRIPTION
• The purpose of the test is to determine overall performance of CVT and analyze causes of problems.
• The road test consists of the following three parts:
1. “Check Before Engine Is Started” CVT-42
.
2. “Check at Idle”CVT-42
.
3. “Cruise Test”CVT-43
.
• Before road test, familiarize yourself with all test procedures and items to check.
• Perform tests on all items until specified symptom is found. Trou-
bleshoot items which check out No Good after road test.
Judgement Possible cause
Idle speed Low for all positions
(“P”, “R”, “N”, “D”, “L”)
Possible causes include malfunctions in the pressure supply system and low oil pump output.
For example
• Oil pump wear
• Pressure regulator valve or plug sticking or spring fatigue
• Oil strainer
⇒ oil pump ⇒ pressure regulator valve passage oil leak
• Engine idle speed too low
Only low for a specific
position Possible causes include an oil pressure leak in a passage or device related to the position after
the pressure is distributed by the manual valve.
High Possible causes include a sensor malfunction or malfunction in the line pressure adjustment
function.
For example
• Accelerator pedal position signal malfunction
• CVT fluid temperature sensor malfunction
• Line pressure solenoid) malfunction (sticking in OFF state, filter clog, cut line)
• Pressure regulator valve or plug sticking
Stall speed Line pressure does
not rise higher than
the line pressure for
idle.
Possible causes include a sensor malfunction or malfunction in the pressure adjustment func-
tion.
For example
• Accelerator pedal position signal malfunction
•TCM malfunction
• Line pressure solenoid) malfunction (shorting, sticking in ON state)
• Pressure regulator valve or plug sticking
The pressure rises,
but does not enter the
standard position. Possible causes include malfunctions in the pressure supply system and malfunction in the pres-
sure adjustment function.
For example
• Accelerator pedal position signal malfunction
• Line pressure solenoid) malfunction (sticking, filter clog)
• Pressure regulator valve or plug sticking
Only low for a specific
position Possible causes include an oil pressure leak in a passage or device related to the position after
the pressure is distributed by the manual valve.
