PRECAUTION
PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER" INFOID:0000000011149256

The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SR and SB section of
this Service Manual.
WARNING:
• To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death in
the event of a collision which would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance must be performed by
an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.
• Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal
injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the SR section.
• Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or har-
ness connectors.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING POWER TOOLS (AIR OR ELECTRIC) AND HAMMERS
WARNING:
• When working near the Airbag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Airbag System sensors with the Igni-
tion ON or engine running, DO NOT use air or electric power tools or strike near the sensor(s) with a
hammer. Heavy vibration could activate the sensor(s) and deploy the air bag(s), possibly causing
serious injury.
• When using air or electric power tools or hammers, always switch the Ignition OFF, disconnect the
battery and wait at least three minutes before performing any service.
Precaution for Procedure without Cowl Top Cover INFOID:0000000011149257

When performing the procedure after removing cowl top cover, cover
the lower end of windshield with urethane, etc to prevent damage to
windshield.

CAUTION:
• To replace TCM, refer to TM-212, "Removal and Installation".
• To replace transaxle assembly, refer to TM-239, "Removal and Installation".

Revision: December 2016 TM-10 2015 Pathfinder

 PRECAUTIONS
< PRECAUTION > [CVT: RE0F10E]
General Precautions INFOID:0000000011149259

A
• Turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect the battery cable
from the negative terminal before connecting or disconnect-
ing the CVT assembly harness connector. Because battery B
voltage is applied to TCM even if ignition switch is turned
OFF.

TM
SEF289H

• When connecting or disconnecting pin connectors into or E

from TCM, do not damage pin terminals (bend or break).
Check that there are not any bends or breaks on TCM pin ter-
minal, when connecting pin connectors. F

AAT470A H

• Perform TCM input/output signal inspection and check

whether TCM functions normally or not before replacing TCM. I
Refer to TM-52, "Reference Value".

MEF040DA
L
• Perform “DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) CONFIRMATION
PROCEDURE”.
If the repair is completed DTC should not be displayed in the M
“DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE”.

O
JSBIA1315ZZ

P
• Always use the specified brand of CVT fluid. Refer to MA-15, "FOR USA AND CANADA : Fluids and Lubri-
cants" (For United States and Canada), MA-17, "FOR MEXICO : Fluids and Lubricants" (For Mexico).
• Use lint-free paper not cloth rags during work.
• Dispose of the waste oil using the methods prescribed by law, ordinance, etc. after replacing the CVT fluid.

Revision: December 2016 TM-11 2015 Pathfinder

 PRECAUTIONS
< PRECAUTION > [CVT: RE0F10E]
On Board Diagnosis (OBD) System of CVT and Engine INFOID:0000000011149260

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 disconnect the battery cable from the negative terminal
before any repair or inspection work. The open/short circuit of related switches, sensors, solenoid
valves, etc. will cause the MIL to light up.
• Be sure to connect and lock the connectors securely 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 after 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 information (repairs completed) from the TCM and
ECM before returning the vehicle to the customer.
Removal and Installation Procedure for CVT Unit Connector INFOID:0000000011149261

REMOVAL
• Rotate bayonet ring counterclockwise. Pull out CVT unit har-
ness connector upward and remove it.

TRANSAXLE : Transaxle Mechanism INFOID:0000000011149286

TORQUE CONVERTER (WITH LOCK-UP FUNCTION)

In the same way as a conventional A/T, the torque converter is a system that increases the engine torque and
transmits the torque to the transaxle. A symmetrical 3-element, 1-stage, 2-phase type is used here.
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 transmitted to control 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 mechanism is installed between the torque converter and
primary pulley.
• The power from the torque converter is input via the input shaft, operating a wet multi-plate clutch by means
of hydraulic pressure to switch between forward and reverse driving.

JSDIA2426GB

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 with the oil pressures of primary pulley and secondary pulley.
Chain belt
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.

JSDIA3643ZZ

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.

Revision: December 2016 TM-26 2015 Pathfinder

 STRUCTURE AND OPERATION

The movable sheave slides on the shaft to change the groove width of the pulley. Input signals of engine load
(accelerator pedal opening), primary pulley speed and secondary pulley speed change the operation pres- A
sures of the primary pulley and the secondary pulley, and controls the pulley groove width.

 STRUCTURE AND OPERATION
< SYSTEM DESCRIPTION > [CVT: RE0F10E]
• The CVT oil warmer is installed on the front part of transaxle
assembly. A
• 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
B
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. C

SHIFT LOCK SYSTEM

SHIFT LOCK SYSTEM : System Description INFOID:0000000011149291

The shift lever cannot be shifted from the “P” position unless the brake pedal is depressed while the ignition
switch is set to ON. The shift lock is unlocked by turning the shift lock solenoid ON when the ignition switch is
set to ON, the park position switch is turned ON (selector lever is in “P” position), and the stop lamp switch is
turned ON (brake pedal is depressed) as shown in the operation 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.

SHIFT LOCK OPERATION AT “P” POSITION

When Brake Pedal Is Not Depressed (No Selector Operation Allowed)

The shift lock solenoid (A) is turned OFF (not energized) and the
solenoid rod (B) is extended with the spring when the brake pedal is
not depressed (no selector operation allowed) with the ignition
switch ON.
The connecting lock lever (C) is located at the position shown in the
figure when the solenoid rod is extended. It prevents the movement
of the detent rod (D). For these reasons, the selector lever cannot be
shifted from the “P” position.

The shift lock solenoid (A) is turned ON (energized) when the brake
pedal is depressed with the ignition switch ON. The solenoid rod (B) A
is compressed by the electromagnetic force. The connecting lock
lever (C) rotates when the solenoid is activated. Therefore, the
detent rod (D) can be moved. For these reasons, the selector lever

“P” POSITION HOLD MECHANISM (IGNITION SWITCH LOCK)
The shift lock solenoid (A) is not energized when the ignition switch
is in any position other than ON. In this condition, the shift mecha-
nism is locked and “P” position is held. The operation cannot be per- E
formed from “P” position if the brake pedal is depressed with the
ignition switch ON when the operation system of shift lock solenoid is
malfunctioning. However, the lock lever (B) is forcibly rotated and the F
shift lock is released when the shift lock release button (C) is
pressed from above. Then the selector operation from “P” position
can be performed.

1 TRIP DETECTION DIAGNOSIS
When initial malfunction is detected, TCM memorizes DTC. In these diagnoses, some illuminate MIL and
some do not. Refer to TM-63, "DTC Index". TM

2 TRIP DETECTION DIAGNOSIS

When initial malfunction is detected, TCM memorizes DTC of the 1st trip. MIL does not light at this stage. <1 E

DIAGNOSIS DESCRIPTION : DTC and DTC of 1st Trip INFOID:0000000011149302

2 TRIP DETECTION DIAGNOSIS THAT ILLUMINATES MIL J

• The DTC number of the 1st trip is the same as the DTC number.
• When a malfunction is detected at the 1st trip, TCM memorizes DTC of the 1st trip. MIL does not light at this
stage. If the same malfunction is not detected at the 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 K
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. L
• For procedure to delete DTC and 1st trip DTC from TCM, refer to TM-47, "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-80, "Work Flow".
M
DIAGNOSIS DESCRIPTION : Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) INFOID:0000000011149303

• TCM not only detects DTC, but also sends the MIL signal to ECM through CAN communication. ECM sends N
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-33, "Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)".

RELATION BETWEEN DTC AT 1ST TRIP/DTC/MIL AND DRIVING CONDITIONS (FOR 2 TRIP DE- P
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 trips 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.

DRIVING CONDITION
Driving condition A
Driving condition A is the driving condition that provides warm-up.
In specific, count-up is performed when all of the following conditions are satisfied.
• Engine speed is 400 rpm or more.
• After start of the engine, the water temperature increased by 20°C (36°F) or more.
• Water temperature was 70°C (158°F) or more.
• The ignition switch was changed from ON to OFF.
NOTE:
• If the same malfunction is detected regardless of the driving condition, reset the A counter.
• When the above is satisfied without detecting the same malfunction, count up the A counter.
• When MIL goes off due to the malfunction and the A counter reaches 40, the DTC is erased.
Driving condition B
Driving condition B is the driving condition that performs all diagnoses once.
In specific, count-up is performed when all of the following conditions are satisfied.
• Engine speed is 400 rpm or more.
• Water temperature was 70°C (158°F) or more.
• In closed loop control, vehicle speed of 70 – 120 km/h (43 – 75 MPH) continued for 60 seconds or more.
• In closed loop control, vehicle speed of 30 – 60 km/h (19 – 37 MPH) continued for 10 seconds or more.

Reference Value INFOID:0000000011149306

CONSULT DATA MONITOR STANDARD VALUE

• In CONSULT, electric shift timing or lock-up timing, i.e. operation timing of each solenoid valve, is displayed.
Therefore, if there is an obvious difference between the shift timing estimated from a shift shock (or engine
speed variations) and that shown on the CONSULT, the mechanism parts (including the hydraulic circuit)
excluding the solenoids and sensors may be malfunctioning. In this case, check the mechanical parts follow-
ing the appropriate diagnosis procedure.
• Shift point (gear position) displayed on CONSULT slightly differs from shift pattern described in Service Man-
ual. This is due to the following reasons.
- Actual shift pattern may vary slightly within specified tolerances.
- While shift pattern described in Service Manual indicates start of each shift, CONSULT shows gear position
at end of shift.
- The solenoid display (ON/OFF) on CONSULT is changed at the start of gear shifting. In contrast, the gear
position display is changed at the time when gear shifting calculated in the control unit is completed.

Fail-safe INFOID:0000000011149307

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-safe mode. At this time, check the DTC code and perform
inspection and repair according to the malfunction diagnosis procedures.

Protection Control INFOID:0000000011149308

The TCM becomes the protection control status temporarily to protect the safety when the safety of TCM and K
transmission is lost. It automatically returns to the normal status if the safety is secured.
The TCM has the following protection control.
CONTROL FOR WHEEL SPIN L

When a wheel spin is detected, the engine output and gear ratio are limited and the line pressure is increased.
Control
Limits engine output when a wheel spin occurs in any of right and left drive wheels. M
Vehicle behavior in If the accelerator is kept depressing during wheel spin, the engine revolution and vehicle speed are limited to
control a certain degree.
Normal return condi-
Wheel spin convergence returns the control to the normal control.
N
tion

TORQUE IS REDUCED WHEN DRIVING WITH THE REVERSE GEAR

DESCRIPTION
There are many operating conditions that may cause a malfunction
of the transmission parts. By understanding those conditions prop- H
erly, a quick and exact diagnosis can be achieved.
In general, perception of a problem varies depending on individuals.
Ask the customer about his/her concerns carefully. It is important to I
understand the phenomenon or status. To systemize all the informa-
tion for the diagnosis, prepare the question sheet referring to the
question points.
J
In some cases, multiple conditions that appear simultaneously may
cause a DTC to be detected.

selector button.
6. When the shift selector button is pressed without applying for-
ward/backward force to the shift selector at “P”, “R”, “N”, “D” or
“Ds” positions, there should be no “sticking” on the shift selector
button operation. AWDIA1019ZZ

7. Check that the back-up lamps do not illuminate when the shift
selector is in the “P” position.
8. Check that the engine can be started with the shift selector in the “P” and “N” positions only.
9. Check that the transaxle is locked completely when the shift selector is in the “P” position.
ADJUSTMENT
1. Move the selector lever to the “P” position.
CAUTION:
Rotate the wheels at least a quarter turn and be certain the Park position mechanism is fully
engaged.

< DTC/CIRCUIT DIAGNOSIS > [CVT: RE0F10E]
U1000 CAN COMM CIRCUIT
Description INFOID:0000000011149336

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 speed and excellent malfunction detection ability.
Many electronic control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links
with other control units during operation (not independently). In CAN communication, control units are con-
nected 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.

Replace control valve (valve body). Refer to TM-217, "Removal and Installation".

>> Work End.

3.REPLACE TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY
1. Once CVT replacement is determined, use borescope J-51951 to record a 15 second or less continuous
video of the most severe evidence of chain slip and the VIN on the F.M.V.S.S. certification (VIN) label
located on B-pillar.
NOTE:
Attach the video to the Powertrain Call Center CVT Preauthorization Form (in ASIST) prior to calling for
authorization. Failure to submit the video will cause denial of request for CVT replacement.
2. Completely reassemble the transaxle assembly.
3. Replace the transaxle assembly. Refer to TM-239, "Removal and Installation".

>> Work End.

PRECAUTION A
PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT B
PRE-TENSIONER" INFOID:0000000011355492

The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along C
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SR and SB section of
this Service Manual.
WARNING: TM
• To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death in
the event of a collision which would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance must be performed by
an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer. E
• Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal
injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the SR section.
F
• Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or har-
ness connectors.
G
PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING POWER TOOLS (AIR OR ELECTRIC) AND HAMMERS
WARNING:
• When working near the Airbag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Airbag System sensors with the Igni- H
tion ON or engine running, DO NOT use air or electric power tools or strike near the sensor(s) with a
hammer. Heavy vibration could activate the sensor(s) and deploy the air bag(s), possibly causing
serious injury.
• When using air or electric power tools or hammers, always switch the Ignition OFF, disconnect the I
battery and wait at least three minutes before performing any service.
Precaution for Procedure without Cowl Top Cover INFOID:0000000011355493

General Precautions INFOID:0000000011355495

• Turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect the battery cable

from the negative terminal before connecting or disconnect-
ing the CVT assembly harness connector. Because battery
voltage is applied to TCM even if ignition switch is turned
OFF.

SEF289H

• When connecting or disconnecting pin connectors into or

from TCM, do not damage pin terminals (bend or break).
Check that there are not any bends or breaks on TCM pin ter-
minal, when connecting pin connectors.

AAT470A

• Perform TCM input/output signal inspection and check

whether TCM functions normally or not before replacing TCM.
Refer to TM-287, "Reference Value".

MEF040DA

• Perform “DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) CONFIRMATION

PROCEDURE”.
If the repair is completed DTC should not be displayed in the
“DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE”.

JSBIA1315ZZ

• Always use the specified brand of CVT fluid. Refer to MA-15, "FOR USA AND CANADA : Fluids and Lubri-
cants".
• Use lint-free paper not cloth rags during work.
• Dispose of the waste oil using the methods prescribed by law, ordinance, etc. after replacing the CVT fluid.

 PRECAUTIONS
< PRECAUTION > [CVT: RE0F10J]
On Board Diagnosis (OBD) System of CVT and Engine INFOID:0000000011355496

A
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: B
• Be sure to turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect the battery cable from the negative terminal
before any repair or inspection work. The open/short circuit of related switches, sensors, solenoid
valves, etc. will cause the MIL to light up.
• Be sure to connect and lock the connectors securely after work. A loose (unlocked) connector will C
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 TM
bracket, etc. may cause the MIL to light up due to a short circuit.
• Be sure to connect rubber tubes properly after 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 information (repairs completed) from the TCM and E
ECM before returning the vehicle to the customer.

A
TORQUE CONVERTER (WITH LOCK-UP FUNCTION)
In the same way as a conventional A/T, the torque converter is a system that increases the engine torque and
transmits the torque to the transaxle. A symmetrical 3-element, 1-stage, 2-phase type is used here. B
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 C
zone. Discharged oil from oil pump is transmitted to control 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 TM
• A planetary gear type of forward/reverse selector mechanism is installed between the torque converter and
primary pulley.
• The power from the torque converter is input via the input shaft, operating a wet multi-plate clutch by means E
of hydraulic pressure to switch between forward and reverse driving.

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
CVT Oil Warmer
Revision: December 2016 TM-265 2015 Pathfinder
 STRUCTURE AND OPERATION
< SYSTEM DESCRIPTION > [CVT: RE0F10J]
• The CVT oil warmer 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.

JSDIA4001ZZ

CVT Fluid Cooler

• The CVT fluid cooler is installed to the vehicle front LH.
• The CVT fluid cooler prevents CVT fluid temperature from an
abnormal increase while driving the vehicle. When flowing into the
CVT fluid cooler, CVT fluid is cooled by driving blast while driving
the vehicle.

JSDIA4002ZZ

Bypass Valve
• The bypass valve is installed to the CVT fluid cooler.
• Bypass valve controls CVT fluid flow.

JSDIA4091ZZ

• When CVT fluid temperature is low, the bypass valve is open. Most of CVT fluid therefore returns to the tran-
saxle without flowing into the cooler core that has larger flow resistance.

JSDIA4092GB

Revision: December 2016 TM-266 2015 Pathfinder

 STRUCTURE AND OPERATION
< SYSTEM DESCRIPTION > [CVT: RE0F10J]
• When CVT fluid temperature rises [to approximately 65°C (149°F)], bypass valve fully closes and allows
CVT fluid to flow into cooler core. CVT fluid flowing into cooler core is cooled by air stream caused by vehicle A
travel and returned to transaxle.

K
The shift lever cannot be shifted from the “P” position unless the brake pedal is depressed while the ignition
switch is set to ON. The shift lock is unlocked by turning the shift lock solenoid ON when the ignition switch is
set to ON, the park position switch is turned ON (selector lever is in “P” position), and the stop lamp switch is
turned ON (brake pedal is depressed) as shown in the operation chart in the figure. Therefore, the shift lock L
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.

When Brake Pedal Is Depressed (Shift Operation Allowed)

Revision: December 2016 TM-267 2015 Pathfinder

 STRUCTURE AND OPERATION
< SYSTEM DESCRIPTION > [CVT: RE0F10J]
The shift lock solenoid (A) is turned ON (energized) when the brake
pedal is depressed with the ignition switch ON. The solenoid rod (B)
is compressed by the electromagnetic force. The connecting lock
lever (C) rotates when the solenoid is activated. Therefore, the
detent rod (D) can be moved. For these reasons, the selector lever
can be shifted to other positions.

JPDIA0613ZZ

“P” POSITION HOLD MECHANISM (IGNITION SWITCH LOCK)

The shift lock solenoid (A) is not energized when the ignition switch
is in any position other than ON. In this condition, the shift mecha-
nism is locked and “P” position is held. The operation cannot be per-
formed from “P” position if the brake pedal is depressed with the
ignition switch ON when the operation system of shift lock solenoid is
malfunctioning. However, the lock lever (B) is forcibly rotated and the
shift lock is released when the shift lock release button (C) is
pressed from above. Then the selector operation from “P” position
can be performed.

D : Detent rod

CVT CONTROL SYSTEM : Protection Control INFOID:0000000011355530

The TCM becomes the protection control status temporarily to protect the safety when the safety of TCM and J
transmission is lost. It automatically returns to the normal status if the safety is secured.
The TCM has the following protection control.
CONTROL FOR WHEEL SPIN K

When a wheel spin is detected, the engine output and gear ratio are limited and the line pressure is increased.

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 overdrive control switch signal.

input/output to the pulley, to determine the pulley (movable pulley) position and to control the gear position.
Shift Position Function
• D Position (Normal)
Gear shifting is performed in all shifting ranges from the lowest to
the highest gear ratio.

SCIA1953E

• 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.

SCIA8229E

• L Position
By limiting the shifting range only to the lowest of the gear ratio, a
large driving force and engine brake are obtained.

SCIA8240E

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 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 position, the acceleration request level of the driver or A
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.
Tow Mode B
• In tow mode, sluggish acceleration and insufficient engine brake output resulting from towing are assisted
and improved by CVT gear shifting.

DESCRIPTION
• Controls for improvement of the transmission efficiency 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 clutch 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 solenoid 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.

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 memorizes DTC of the 1st trip. MIL does not light at this
stage. If the same malfunction is not detected at the 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-282, "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-315, "Work Flow".
DIAGNOSIS DESCRIPTION : Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) INFOID:0000000011355539

• TCM not only detects DTC, but also sends the MIL 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-33, "Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)".
DIAGNOSIS DESCRIPTION : Counter System INFOID:0000000011355540

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 trips 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.

CONSULT DATA MONITOR STANDARD VALUE

• In CONSULT, electric shift timing or lock-up timing, i.e. operation timing of each solenoid valve, is displayed. C
Therefore, if there is an obvious difference between the shift timing estimated from a shift shock (or engine
speed variations) and that shown on the CONSULT, the mechanism parts (including the hydraulic circuit)
excluding the solenoids and sensors may be malfunctioning. In this case, check the mechanical parts follow-
ing the appropriate diagnosis procedure. TM
• Shift point (gear position) displayed on CONSULT slightly differs from shift pattern described in Service Man-
ual. This is due to the following reasons.
- Actual shift pattern may vary slightly within specified tolerances. E
- While shift pattern described in Service Manual indicates start of each shift, CONSULT shows gear position
at end of shift.
- The solenoid display (ON/OFF) on CONSULT is changed at the start of gear shifting. In contrast, the gear
position display is changed at the time when gear shifting calculated in the control unit is completed. F

The following table includes information (items) inapplicable to this vehicle. For information (items) applicable

Fail-safe INFOID:0000000011355543

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-safe mode. At this time, check the DTC code and perform
inspection and repair according to the malfunction diagnosis procedures.

Protection Control INFOID:0000000011355544

The TCM becomes the protection control status temporarily to protect the safety when the safety of TCM and
transmission is lost. It automatically returns to the normal status if the safety is secured.
The TCM has the following protection control.
CONTROL FOR WHEEL SPIN

When a wheel spin is detected, the engine output and gear ratio are limited and the line pressure is increased.
Control
Limits engine output when a wheel spin occurs in any of right and left drive wheels.
Vehicle behavior in If the accelerator is kept depressing during wheel spin, the engine revolution and vehicle speed are limited to
control a certain degree.

DESCRIPTION
There are many operating conditions that may cause a malfunction
of the transmission parts. By understanding those conditions prop-
erly, a quick and exact diagnosis can be achieved.
In general, perception of a problem varies depending on individuals.
Ask the customer about his/her concerns carefully. It is important to
understand the phenomenon or status. To systemize all the informa-
tion for the diagnosis, prepare the question sheet referring to the
question points.
In some cases, multiple conditions that appear simultaneously may
cause a DTC to be detected.

CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real-time application. It is an on-vehicle mul- B
tiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent malfunction detection ability.
Many electronic control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links
with other control units during operation (not independently). In CAN communication, control units are con-
nected with 2 communication lines (CAN-H line, CAN-L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission C
with less wiring. Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only.
