TM-84
< SYSTEM DESCRIPTION >[CVT: RE0F11A]
SYSTEM
Gear shifting is performed in all shifting ranges from the lowest to the
highest gear ratio.
D Position (OD OFF)
The gear ratio is generally high by limiting the shifting range on the
high side, and this always generates a large driving power.
L Position
By limiting the shifting range only to the lowest of the gear ratio, a
large driving force and engine brake are obtained.
Hill Climbing And Descending Control
If a downhill is detected with the accelerator pedal is released, the system performs dow
nshift to increase the
engine brake force so that vehicle may not be accelerated 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 posit ion, the acceleration request level of the driver or
driving scene is evaluated. In start or acceleration during driving, the gear shift characteristics with linearity of
revolution increase and vehicle speed increase are gained to improve the acceleration feel.

Based on accelerator pedal angle, engine speed, primary pulley speed, and the secondary pulley speed, the
optimum operating pressure is set to reduce impact of a selector lever operation while shifting from “N” (“P”) to
“D” (“R”) position.

LOCK-UP CONTROL : System Description
INFOID:0000000012431024
SYSTEM DIAGRAM
DESCRIPTION
• Controls for improvement of the transmission effi ciency by engaging the torque converter clutch in the
torque converter and eliminating slip of the converter. Achieves comfortable driving with slip control of the
torque converter clutch.
• The oil pressure feed circuit for the torque converter clutch piston chamber is connected to the torque con- verter clutch control valve. The torque converter clut ch control valve is switched by the torque converter
clutch solenoid valve with the signal from TCM. This controls the oil pressure circuit, which is supplied to the
torque converter clutch piston chamber, to the release side or engagement side.
• If the CVT fluid temperature is low or the vehicle is in fail-safe mode due to malfunction, lock-up control is
prohibited.
Lock-up engagement
In lock-up engagement, the torque converter clutch solenoi d valve makes the torque converter clutch control
valve locked up to generate the lock-up apply pressure. This pushes the torque converter clutch piston for
engagement.
Lock-up release condition
In lock-up release, the torque converter clutch solenoid valve makes the torque converter clutch control valve
non-locked up to drain the lock-up apply pressure. This does not engage the torque converter clutch piston.

IDLE NEUTRAL CONTROL : System DescriptionINFOID:0000000012431025
SYSTEM DIAGRAM
DESCRIPTION
If a driver has no intention of starting the vehicle in D position, TCM operates the low brake solenoid valve and
controls the oil pressure of the low brake to be low pressure. Therefore, the low brake is in the release (slip)
status and the power transmission route of transaxle is the same status as the N position. In this way, the tran-
saxle is in idling status and load to the engine can be reduced to improve fuel economy.

SYSTEM
Provides idle neutral control when st
op/start operation is not performed.
Idle Neutral Control Start Condition
Idle neutral control is started when all of the following conditions are fulfilled. However, during idle neutral con-
trol, idle neutral control is stopped when any of the following conditions is not met or idle neutral control contin-
ues 30 seconds.
NOTE:
Stops or prohibits the idle neutral control when the TC M and ECM detect that the vehicle is in one of the fol-
lowing conditions.
• Engine coolant temperature and CVT fluid temperature are the specified temperature or more, or the speci-
fied temperature or less.
• When a transaxle malfunction occurs.
• When the vehicle detects DTC and is in the fail-safe mode.
• When idle speed increases due to heavy electric load*. *: When any one of rear window defogger switch, A/C s witch, headlamp, fog lamp is turned ON. In addition,
when the steering wheel is operated.

l Resume Condition
When the idle neutral control finishes, if the vehicle is driven at more than the specified speed and the idle
neutral control start conditions are satisfied, the idle neut ral control starts again. If the vehicle has a malfunc-
tion, the idle neutral control does not start.

ON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD) SYSTEM
ON BOARD DIAGNOST
IC (OBD) SYSTEM
DescriptionINFOID:0000000012431026
This is an on board diagnosis system which records diagnosis information related to the exhaust gases. It
detects malfunctions related to sensors and actuators. The malfunctions are indicated by means of the mal-
function indicator lamp (MIL) and are stored as DTC in the ECU memory. The diagnosis information can be
checked using a diagnosis tool (GST: Generic Scan Tool).
Function of OBDINFOID:0000000012431027
The GST is connected to the diagnosis connector on t he vehicle and communicates with the on-board control
units to perform diagnosis. The diagnosis connector is the same as for CONSULT. Refer to GI-50, "
Descrip-
tion".

sis
INFOID:0000000012431028
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-110, "
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.
×: Check possible —: Check not possible
DIAGNOSIS DESCRIPTION : DTC and DTC of 1st TripINFOID:0000000012431029
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-93, "
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-122, "
Flowchart of Trouble Diagnosis".
DIAGNOSIS DESCRIPTION : Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)INFOID:0000000012431030
• 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-57, "
DIAGNOSIS DESCRIPTION : Malfunction
Indicator Lamp (MIL)".
DIAGNOSIS DESCRIPTION : Counter SystemINFOID:0000000012431031
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 DTC of the 1st trip. MIL does not light at this stage.
• If the same malfunction is detected 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.
