On Board Diagnosis (OBD) System of CVT and EngineINFOID:0000000009464176
The TCM and ECM have an on board diagnostic system. It will light up the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) to
warn the driver of a malfunction causing emission deterioration.
CAUTION:
• Be sure to turn the ignition switch OFF and di sconnect the battery cable from the negative terminal
before any repair or inspection work. The open/s hort circuit of related switches, sensors, solenoid
valves, etc. will cause the MIL to light up.
• Be sure to connect and lock the connectors secure ly after work. A loose (unlocked) connector will
cause the MIL to light up due to an open circuit. (Be sure the connector is free from water, grease,
dirt, bent terminals, etc.)
• Be sure to route and secure the harnesses properly after work. Interference of the harness with a
bracket, etc. may cause the MIL to light up due to a short circuit.
• Be sure to connect rubber tubes properly afte r work. A misconnected or disconnected rubber tube
may cause the MIL to light up due to a malfunction of the EGR system or fuel injection system, etc.
• Be sure to erase the unnecessary malfunction informa tion (repairs completed) from the TCM and
ECM before returning the vehicle to the customer.

COMPONENT PARTS
• When pressure is applied to the ceramic device in
the primary pressure sensor, the ceramic device is
deformed, resulting in voltage change. TCM evaluates the primary pressure from its voltage change. Voltage
is increased along with pressure increase.
CVT CONTROL SYSTEM : Secondary Pressure SensorINFOID:0000000009464188
• The secondary pressure sensor is installed to control valve.
• The secondary pressure sensor detects the pressure applied to the secondary pulley.
• When pressure is applied to the metal diaphragm in the secondary pressure sensor, the metal diaphragm is
deformed, resulting in voltage change. TCM evaluates the secondary pressure from its voltage change. Volt-
age is increased along with pressure increase.
CVT CONTROL SYSTEM : Primary Pressure Solenoid ValveINFOID:0000000009464189
• The primary pressure solenoid valve is installed to control valve.
• The primary pressure solenoid valve controls the prim ary reducing valve. For information about the primary
reducing valve, refer to TM-229, "TRANSAXLE : Component Description"
.
• The primary pressure solenoid valve uses the linear solenoid valve [N/H (normal high) type].
NOTE:
• The principle of the linear solenoid valve utilizes the fa ct that the force pressing on the valve spool installed
inside the coil increases nearly in proportion to the current . This allows it to produce a fluid pressure that is
proportional to this pressing force.
• The N/H (normal high) produces hydraulic control when the coil is not energized.
CVT CONTROL SYSTEM : Secondary Pressure Solenoid ValveINFOID:0000000009464190
• The secondary pressure solenoid valve is installed to control valve.
• The secondary pressure solenoid valve controls t he secondary reducing valve. For information about the
secondary reducing valve, refer to TM-229, "TRANSAXLE : Component Description"
.
• The secondary pressure solenoid valve uses the linear solenoid valve [N/H (normal high) type].

TORQUE CONVERTER (WITH LOCK-UP FUNCTION)
In the same way as a conventional A/T, the torque c onverter is a system that increases the engine torque and
transmits the torque to the transaxle. A symmetr ical 3-element, 1-stage, 2-phase type is used here.
OIL PUMP
Utilizes a vane-type oil pump that is driven by the engi ne 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 transmitted to contro l valve. It is used as the oil of primary and second-
ary pulley operation, the oil of clutch operation, and the lubricant for each part.
PLANETARY GEAR
• A planetary gear type of forward/reverse selector me chanism is installed between the torque converter and
primary pulley.
• The power from the torque converter is input via the i nput shaft, operating a wet multi-plate clutch by means
of hydraulic pressure to switch between forward and reverse driving.
Operation of Planetary gear
BELT & PULLEY
It is composed of a pair of pulleys (the groove width is changed freely in the axial direction) and the chain belt
.The groove width changes according to wrapping radius of chain belt and pulley from low status to overdrive
status continuously with non-step. It is controlled wit h the oil pressures of primary pulley and secondary pulley.

The chain belt consists of approximately 150 locker pins and
1,000 link plates . Chains are rotated by locker pins sandwiched by
pulleys. This produces tension difference in chains among pulleys.
Accordingly, the power is transferred by the tension.
Pulley
The primary pulley (input shaft side) and the secondary pulley (output shaft side) have the shaft with slope
(fixed cone surface), movable sheave (movable cone surface that can move in the axial direction) and oil pres-
sure chamber at the back of the movable sheave.
The movable sheave slides on the shaft to change the gr oove width of the pulley. Input signals of engine load
(accelerator pedal opening), primary pulley speed and secondary pulley speed change the operation pres-
sures of the primary pulley and the secondary pulley, and controls the pulley groove width.

STRUCTURE AND OPERATION
The deceleration gears are composed of 2 stages: primar
y deceleration (output gear, idler gear pair) and sec-
ondary deceleration (reduction gear, final gear pair). All of these gears are helical gears.
The lubrication oil is the same as the CVT fluid which lubricates the entire transaxle.
TRANSAXLE : Oil Pressure System INFOID:0000000009464200
Oil pressure required for operation of the transaxle transmission mechanism is generated by oil pump, oil
pressure control valve, solenoid valve, etc.
