• CVT detects the vehicle driving status from switc hes, sensors and signals, and controls the vehicle so that
the optimum shift position and shift timing may always be achieved. It also controls the vehicle to reduce
shift and lockup shock, etc.
• Receives input signals from switches and sensors.
• Sends the output signal necessary for operation of so lenoid valves, and evaluates the line pressure, shift
timing, lockup operation, engine brake performance, etc.
• If a malfunction occurs on the electric system, activa te the fail-safe mode only to drive the vehicle.
LIST OF CONTROL ITEMS AND INPUT/OUTPUT
*: If these input/output signals show errors, TCM activates the fail-safe function.
CVT CONTROL SYSTEM : Fail-safeINFOID:0000000009464205
TCM has a fail-safe mode. The mode functions so that operation can be continued even if the signal circuit of
the main electronically controlled input/output parts is damaged.
If the vehicle shows following behaviors including “poor acceleration”, a malfunction of the applicable system
is detected by TCM and the vehicle may be in a fail-s afe mode. At this time, check the DTC code and perform
inspection and repair according to the malfunction diagnosis procedures.

Control
When a wheel spin is detected, the engine output and gear ratio are limited and the line pressure is increased.
Limits engine output when a wheel spin occurs in any of right and left drive wheels.
Vehicle behavior in
control If the accelerator is kept depressing during wheel spin, the engine revolution and vehicle speed are limited to
a certain degree.
Normal retu rn condi-
tion Wheel spin convergence returns the control to the normal control.
Control Engine output is controlled according to a vehicle speed while reversing the vehicle.
Vehicle behavior in
control Power performance may be lowered while reversing the vehicle.
Normal retu rn condi-
tion Torque returns to normal by positioning the selector lever in a range other than “R” position.
Control
When the CVT fluid temperature is high, the gear shift permission maximum revolution and the maximum
torque are reduced than usual to prevent increase of the oil temperature.
Vehicle behavior in
control Power performance may be lowered, compared to normal control.
Normal retu rn condi-
tion The control returns to the normal control when CVT fluid temperature is lowered.

LINE PRESSURE CONTROL
LINE PRESSURE CONTROL : System DescriptionINFOID:0000000009464207
SYSTEM DIAGRAM
DESCRIPTION
Highly accurate line pressure control (secondary pressure control) reduces friction for improvement of fuel
economy.
Normal Oil Pressure Control
Appropriate line pressure and secondary pressure suitable for driving condition are determined based on the
accelerator pedal position, engine speed, primary pulley (input) speed, secondary pulley (output) speed, vehi-
cle speed, input torque, stop lamp switch signal, transmission range switch signal, lock-up signal, power volt-
age, target shift ratio, oil temperature, oil pressure, and paddle shift (up/down) signal.
Secondary Pressure Feedback Control
In normal oil pressure control and oil pressure control in shifting, highly accurate secondary pressure is deter-
mined by detecting the secondary pressure using an oil pressure sensor and by feedback control.
SHIFT CONTROL
Control The reverse brake is controlled to avoid becoming engaged when the selector lever is set in “R” position while
driving in forward direction at more than the specified speed.
Vehicle behavior in
control If the selector lever is put at “R” position when driving with the forward gear, the gear becomes neutral, not
reverse.
Normal return condi-
tion The control returns to normal control when the vehicle is driven at low speeds. (The reverse brake becomes
engaged.)

Gear shifting is performed in all shifting ranges from the lowest to the
highest gear ratio.
DS Position
Pressing down the accelerator pedal allows to drive the vehicle with
a feeling of M/T-like gear shifting.
Hill Climbing And Descending Control
If a downhill is detected with the accelerator pedal is released, the system performs downshift to increase the
engine brake force so that vehicle may not be accelerat ed more than necessary. If a climbing hill is detected,
the system improves the acceleration performance in re-acceleration by limiting the gear shift range on the
high side.
NOTE:
For engine brake control on a downhill, the control can be stopped with CONSULT.
Control In Acceleration
From change of the vehicle speed or accelerator pedal pos ition, the acceleration request level of the driver or
driving scene is evaluated. In start or acceleration duri ng driving, the gear shift characteristics with linearity of
revolution increase and vehicle speed increase ar e gained to improve the acceleration feel.

sis
INFOID:0000000009464213
NOTE:
“Start the engine and turn OFF the ignition switch after warm-up.” This is defined as 1 trip.
1 TRIP DETECTION DIAGNOSIS
When initial malfunction is detected, TCM memorize s DTC. In these diagnoses, some illuminate MIL and
some do not. Refer to TM-263, "DTC Index"
.
2 TRIP DETECTION DIAGNOSIS
When initial malfunction is detected, TCM memorizes DTC of the 1st trip. MIL does not light at this stage. <1
trip>
If the same malfunction is detected again in next drivi ng, TCM memorizes DTC. When DTC is memorized, MIL
lights. <2 trip>
“Trip” of the “2 trip detection diagnosis” indicates the driving mode that executes self-diagnosis during driving.

DIAGNOSIS DESCRIPTION : DTC and DTC of 1st TripINFOID:0000000009464214
2 TRIP DETECTION DIAGNOSIS THAT ILLUMINATES MIL
• The DTC number of the 1st trip is the same as the DTC number.
• When a malfunction is detected at the 1st trip, TCM memo rizes DTC of the 1st trip. MIL does not light at this
stage. If the same malfunction is not detected at t he 2nd trip (conforming to necessary driving conditions),
DTC at the 1st trip is erased from TCM. If the same malfunction is detected at the 2nd trip, TCM memorizes
DTC and MIL lights at the same time.
• The DTC of the 1st trip is specified in Service $01 of SAE J1979/ISO 15031-5. Since detection of DTC at the
1st trip does not illuminate MIL, warning for a problem is not given to a driver.
• For procedure to delete DTC and 1st trip DTC from TCM, refer to TM-245, "CONSULT Function"
.
• If DTC of the 1st trip is detected, it is necessary to check the cause according to the “Diagnosis flow”. Refer
to TM-279, "Work Flow"
.
DIAGNOSIS DESCRIPTION : Malf unction Indicator Lamp (MIL)INFOID:0000000009464215
• TCM not only detects DTC, but also sends the MI L signal to ECM through CAN communication. ECM sends
the MIL signal to the combination meter through CAN communication according to the signal, and illumi-
nates MIL.
• For malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) description, refer to EC-598, "DIAGNOSIS DESCRIPTION : Malfunc-
tion Indicator Lamp (MIL)".

RELATION BETWEEN DTC AT 1ST TRIP/DTC/MIL AND DRIVING CONDITIONS (FOR 2 TRIP DE-
TECTION DIAGNOSIS THAT ILLUMINATES MIL)
• When initial malfunction is detected, TCM memorizes DT C of the 1st trip. MIL does not light at this stage.
• If the same malfunction is detect ed at the 2nd trip, TCM memorizes DTC and MIL lights at the same time.
• Then, MIL goes after driving the vehicle for 3 tr ips under “Driving condition B” without malfunction.
• DTC is displayed until 40 trips of “Driving condition A” are satisfied without detecting the same malfunction.
DTC is erased when 40 trips are satisfied.

NOTE:
• If the same malfunction is detected regardless of the driving condition, reset the A counter.
