Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Shift Control: Notes
In order to select the gear ratio which can obtain the driving force in accordance with driver's intention and the vehicle condition, TCM monitors the driving conditions, such as the vehicle speed and the throttle position and selects the optimum gear ratio, and determines the gear change steps to the gear ratio. Then it sends the command to the stepping motor, and controls the flow-in/flow-out of line pressure to/from the primary pulley to determine the position of the moving-pulley and control the gear ratio.
Selection of the gear ratio is set for every position separately.
