Primary reducing valve Reduces the line pressure to regulate the primary pressure.
Pilot valve A Reduces the line pressure to regulate the operation pressures
of the solenoid valves below:
• Primary pressure solenoid valve
• Secondary pressure solenoid valve
• Line pressure solenoid valve
• Select solenoid valve
Pilot valve B Reduces fluid pressure delivered from pilot valve A to regulate
the operation pressure of the lock-up solenoid valve.
Line pressure solenoid valve Controls the pressure regulator valve.
Primary pressure solenoid valve Controls the primary reducing valve.
Secondary pressure solenoid valve Controls the secondary reducing valve.
Lock-up solenoid valve Controls the lock-up control valve.
Select solenoid valve Regulates the forward clutch pressure and reverse brake
pressure.

The system applies the primary pressure, which is

regulated by the primary reducing valve, to the pri-
mary pulley and the secondary pressure, which is
regulated by the secondary reducing valve, to the
secondary pulley, respectively. Pulley ratio depends
on these pressures.

GENERAL INFORMATION

FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION
If abnormality occurs in signals from various sensors,
switches, or solenoids, this function allows control-
ling them with the minimum adverse effect to the
driving performance.

PROTECTION CONTROL
General
• If the CVT-ECU or the transmission may be damaged or deteriorated, the CVT-ECU will be protected tem-
porarily for safety. If a safety can be obtained again, the system will resume normal operation.
• The CVT-ECU has the protection functions as below:

Control during wheel spinning

Item Contents
Control content When the system detects a wheel spinning, it will restrict engine performance and
pulley ratio to increase line pressure. The clutch pressure is also increased.
Vehicle behaviour The engine speed and the vehicle speed will not be increased although the driver
during control continues to depress the accelerator pedal during a wheel spinning.
Resume condition The system resumes normal operation when wheel spinning is eliminated.

Control at high oil temperature

Item Contents
Control content When the CVT fluid temperature rises, the system will decrease the maximum
permissible shifting speed and torque to avoid overheat.
Vehicle behaviour Note that driving performance may be deteriorated.
during control
Resume condition Resumes normal operation when the CVT fluid temperature drops.

Torque reduction when the vehicle is reversing

Item Contents
Control content The system restricts the engine performance in accordance with vehicle speed when
the vehicle is reversing.
Vehicle behaviour Driving performance may be deteriorated.
during control
Resume condition Resumes normal operation when the selector lever is moved from R range to
another.

Reversing prevention
Item Contents
Control content The system will deactivate the reverse brake when the selector lever is moved to R
range while driving forwards at a certain speed.
Vehicle behaviour The transmission will remain at neutral range although the driver moves the selector
during control lever to R range while the vehicle is driven forwards.
Resume condition Resumes normal operation when the vehicle is driven at lower speed. (The system
engages the reverse brake)
