STEERING WHEEL PLAY
1. Turn tires straight ahead, start engine, then turn steer ing wheel to the left and right lightly. Measure steer-
ing wheel movement on the outer circumference of the steering wheel when it is turned to the point where
tires start moving.
NEUTRAL POSITION ON STEERING WHEEL
• Check neutral position on steering wheel after confirming that front wheel alignment is correct. Refer to FSU-
25, "Wheel Alignment (Unladen*1)".
1. Turn tires straight ahead, check if st eering wheel is in the neutral position.
2. If it is not in the neutral position, remo ve steering wheel and reinstall it correctly.
3. If the neutral position cannot be attained by repositi oning the steering wheel two teeth or less on steering
stem, loosen tie-rod lock nuts of power steering gear outer sockets, then adjust tie-rods by the same
amount in the opposite direction.

FLUID COOLER & FLUID WARMER SYSTEM
Part name Function
Torque converter Increases engine torque and transmits it to the transaxle.
Oil pump Utilizes a vane-type oil pump that is driven by the engine through the oil pump drive chain in order to
increase efficiency of pump discharge volume in low-speed zone and optimize pump discharge volume
in high-speed zone. Discharged oil from oil pump is tr ansmitted to control valve. It is used as the oil of
primary and secondary pulley operation, the oil of clutch operation, and the lubricant for each part.
Forward clutch The forward clutch is wet and multiple plate type clutch that consists of clutch drum, piston, drive plate,
and driven plate. It is a clutch to move the vehicle forward by activating piston hydraulically, engaging
plates, and directly connecting sun gear and input shaft.
Reverse brake The reverse brake is a wet multiple-plate type brake that consists of transaxle case, piston, drive plate,
and driven plate. It is a brake to move the vehicle in reverse by activating piston hydraulically, engaging
plates, and fixing planetary gear.
Internal gear The internal gear is directly connected to forward clutch drum. It is a gear that moves the outer edge of
pinion planet of planet carrier. It transmits power to move the vehicle in reverse when the planet carrier
is fixed.
Planet carrier Composed of a carrier, pinion planet, and pinion shaft. This gear fixes and releases the planet carrier in
order to switch between forward and reverse driving.
Sun gear Sun gear is a set part with planet carrier and internal gear. It transmits transmitted force to primary fixed
sheave. It rotates in forward or reverse direction according to activation of either forward clutch or re-
verse brake.
Input shaft The input shaft is directly connected to forward clutch drum and transmits traction force from torque con-
verter. In shaft center, there are holes for hydraulic distribution to primary pulley and hydraulic distribution
for lockup ON/OFF.
Primary pulley It is composed of a pair of pulleys (the groove width is changed freely in the axial direction) and the steel belt. The groove width changes according to wrapping radius of steel belt and pulley from low status to
overdrive status continuously with non-step. It is controlled with the oil pressures of primary pulley and
secondary pulley.
Secondary pulley
Steel belt
Manual shaft When the manual shaft is in the P position, the parking rod that is linked to the manual shaft rotates the
parking pole. When the parking pole rotates, it engages with the parking gear, fixing the parking gear. As
a result, the secondary pulley that is integrated with the parking gear is fixed.
Parking rod
Parking pawl
Parking gear
Output gear
The deceleration gears are composed of 2 stages: primary deceleration (output gear, idler gear pair) and
secondary deceleration (reduction gear, final gear pair). All of these gears are helical gears.
Idler gear
Reduction gear
Differential
Torque converter regulator
valve Adjusts the feed pressure to the torque converter to the optimum pressure corresponding to the driving
condition.
Pressure regulator valve Adjusts the discharge pressure from the oil pump to the optimum pressure (line pressure) corresponding
to the driving condition.
Torque converter clutch
control valve Adjusts the torque converter engage and disengage pressures.
Manual valve Distributes the clutch operation pressure to each circuit according to the selector lever position.
Secondary reducing valve Reduces line pressure and adjusts secondary pressure.
Primary reducing valve Reduces line pressure and adjusts primary pressure.
Pilot valve A Reduces line pressure and adjusts pilot pressure to the solenoid valves listed below.
• Primary pressure solenoid valve
• Secondary pressure solenoid valve
• Select solenoid valve
• Line pressure solenoid valve
Pilot valve B Reduces pilot pressure and adjusts pilot pressure to the torque converter clutch solenoid valve.

CVT FLUID COOLER SCHEMATIC
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
CVT Oil Warmer
• The CVT oil warmer (1) is installed on the front part of transaxle
assembly.
• When engine is started while engine and CVT are cold, engine coolant temperature rises more quickly than CVT fluid tempera-
ture. CVT oil warmer is provided with two circuits for CVT and
engine coolant respectively so that warmed engine coolant warms
CVT quickly. This helps shorten CVT warming up time, improving
fuel economy.
• A cooling effect is obtained when CVT fluid temperature is high.
Heater Thermostat
• The heater thermostat (1) is insta lled on the front part of transaxle
assembly.
• The heater thermostat open and close with set temperature.
SHIFT LOCK SYSTEM
SHIFT LOCK SYSTEM : System DescriptionINFOID:0000000009463986
The shift lever cannot be shifted from the “P” positi on unless the brake pedal is depressed while the ignition
switch is set to ON. The shift lock is unlocked by turn ing the shift lock solenoid ON when the ignition switch is
set to ON, the park position switch is turned ON (selec tor lever is in “P” position), and the stop lamp switch is
turned ON (brake pedal is depressed) as shown in the oper ation chart in the figure. Therefore, the shift lock
solenoid receives no ON signal and the shift lock remains locked if all of the above conditions are not fulfilled.
However, selector operation is allowed if the shift lock release button is pressed.
