TCM FUNCTION

The function of the TCM is to

1. Receive input signals sent from various switches and sensors.
2. Determine required line pressure, shifting point, and lock-up operation.
3. Send required output signals to the step motor and the respective solenoids.

INPUT/OUTPUT SIGNAL CHART

INPUT/OUTPUT SIGNAL OF TCM

INPUT/OUTPUT SIGNAL CHART

"D" POSITION

Shifting over all the ranges of gear ratios from the lowest to the highest.

Gear Ratio Graph (D Position). Scheme 104

OVERDRIVE OFF CONDITION (WITHOUT MANUAL MODE)

Use this position for improved engine braking.

"L" POSITION (WITHOUT MANUAL MODE)

By limiting the gear range to the lowest position, the strong driving force and the engine brake can be secured.

Gear Ratio Graph (L Position). Scheme 105

"M" POSITION (WITH MANUAL MODE)

When the selector lever is put in the manual shift gate side, the fixed changing gear line is set. By moving the selector lever to + side or - side, the manual mode switch is changed over, and shift change like M/T becomes possible following the changing gear set line step by step.

Gear Ratio Graph (M Position). Scheme 106

DOWNHILL ENGINE BRAKE CONTROL (AUTO ENGINE BRAKE CONTROL)

When a downhill slope is detected with the accelerator pedal released, the engine brake will be strengthened up by downshifting so as not to accelerate the vehicle more than necessary.

ACCELERATION CONTROL

According to vehicle speed and a change of accelerator pedal angle, driver's request for acceleration and driving scene are judged. This function assists improvement in the acceleration feeling by making the engine speed proportionate to the vehicle speed. And a shift map that can gain a larger driving force is available for compatibility of mileage with driveability.

P POSITION HOLD MECHANISM (IGNITION SWITCH LOCK)

The shift lock solenoid (1) is not energized when the ignition switch is in any position other than ON. In this condition, the shift mechanism is locked and P position is held. The operation cannot be performed 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 (A) is forcibly rotated and the shift lock is released when the shift lock release button (B) is pressed from above. Then the selector operation from P position can be performed.

Shift Lock Operation Diagram At P Position. Scheme 107

KEY LOCK MECHANISM

The key cannot be set to LOCK when the selector lever is not selected to P position. This prevents the key from being removed from the key cylinder.

Key Lock Status

The slider (A) in the key cylinder (B) is moved to the left side of the figure when the selector lever is in any position other than P position. The rotator (C) that rotates together with the key (D) cannot be rotated for this reason. The key cannot be removed from the key cylinder because it cannot be turned to LOCK (E).

Key Lock Mechanism - Key Lock Status. Scheme 108

Key Unlock Status

The slider (A) in the key cylinder (B) is moved to the right side of the figure when the selector lever is in P position and the finger is removed from the selector button. The rotator (C) can be rotated for this reason. The key (D) can be removed from the key cylinder because it can be turned to LOCK (E).

OBD-II FUNCTION

The ECM provides emission-related on board diagnostic (OBD-II) functions for the CVT system. One function is to receive a signal from the TCM used with OBD-related parts of the CVT system. The signal is sent to the ECM when a malfunction occurs in the corresponding OBD-related part. The other function is to indicate a diagnostic result by means of the MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) on the instrument panel. Sensors, switches and solenoid valves are used as sensing elements.

The MIL automatically illuminates in "One or Two Trip Detection Logic" when a malfunction is sensed in relation to CVT system parts.

ONE OR TWO TRIP DETECTION LOGIC OF OBD-II

One Trip Detection Logic

If a malfunction is sensed during the first test drive, the MIL illuminates and the ECM memory stores the malfunction as a DTC. The TCM is not provided with such a memory function.

Two Trip Detection Logic

When a malfunction is sensed during the first test drive, it is stored in the ECM memory as a 1st trip DTC (diagnostic trouble code) or 1st trip freeze frame data. At this point, the MIL does not illuminate. - 1st trip If the same malfunction as that experienced during the first test drive is sensed during the second test drive, the MIL will illuminate. - 2nd trip

The "trip" in the "One or Two Trip Detection Logic" means a driving mode in which self-diagnosis is performed during vehicle operation.

MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP (MIL)

Description

The MIL is located on the instrument panel.

Scheme 111

1. The MIL is turned ON when the ignition switch is turned ON without the engine running. This is a bulb check. If the MIL is not turned ON, refer to " «COMPONENT FUNCTION CHECK»(ref-295105-S03782486282008081400000) " (for California), " «COMPONENT FUNCTION CHECK»(ref-295106-S20293056142008081400000) " [for USA (federal) and Canada], " «COMPONENT FUNCTION CHECK»(ref-295107-S37522339592008081400000) " (for Mexico).
2. Turn OFF the MIL when the engine is started. If the MIL remains ON, the on board diagnostic system has detected an engine system malfunction. (Scheme 111): Identifying Malfunction Indicator Lamp

Fail-safe P

The TCM has an electrical fail-safe mode. In this mode TCM operates even if there is an error in a main electronic control input/output signal circuit.

FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION

If any malfunction occurs in a sensor or solenoid valve, this function controls the CVT to make driving possible.

Output Speed Sensor (Secondary Speed Sensor)

The shift pattern is changed in accordance with throttle position when an unexpected signal is sent from the output speed sensor (secondary speed sensor) to the TCM. The manual mode and overdrive control mode are inhibited, and the transaxle is put in "D".

Input Speed Sensor (Primary Speed Sensor)

The shift pattern is changed in accordance with throttle position and secondary speed (vehicle speed) when an unexpected signal is sent from the input speed sensor (primary speed sensor) to the TCM. The manual mode and overdrive control mode are inhibited, and the transaxle is put in "D".

PNP Switch

If an unexpected signal is sent from the PNP switch to the TCM, the transaxle is put in "D".

Manual Mode Switch

If an unexpected signal is sent from the manual mode switch to the TCM, the transaxle is put in "D".

CVT Fluid Temperature Sensor

If an unexpected signal is sent from the CVT fluid temperature sensor to the TCM, the gear ratio in use before receiving the unexpected signal is maintained or the gear ratio is controlled to keep engine speed under 5,000 rpm.

Transmission Fluid Pressure Sensor A (Secondary Pressure Sensor)

1. If an unexpected signal is sent from the transmission fluid pressure sensor A (secondary pressure sensor) to the TCM, the secondary pressure feedback control is stopped and the offset value obtained before the nonstandard condition occurs is used to control line pressure.
2. If transmission fluid pressure sensor A (secondary pressure sensor) error signal is input to TCM, secondary pressure feedback control stops, but line pressure is controlled normally.

Pressure Control Solenoid A (Line Pressure Solenoid Valve)

If an unexpected signal is sent from the solenoid valve to the TCM, the pressure control solenoid A (line pressure solenoid valve) is turned OFF to achieve the maximum fluid pressure.

Pressure Control Solenoid B (Secondary Pressure Solenoid Valve)

If an unexpected signal is sent from the solenoid valve to the TCM, the pressure control solenoid B (secondary pressure solenoid valve) is turned OFF to achieve the maximum fluid pressure.

Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid Valve

If an unexpected signal is sent from the solenoid valve to the TCM, the torque converter clutch solenoid valve is turned OFF to cancel the lock-up.

Step Motor

If an unexpected signal is sent from the step motor to the TCM, the step motor coil phases "A" through "D" are all turned OFF to hold the gear ratio used just before the non-standard condition occurred.

CVT Lock-up Select Solenoid Valve

If an unexpected signal is sent from the solenoid valve to the TCM, the CVT lock-up select solenoid valve is turned OFF to cancel the lock-up.

TCM Power Supply (Memory Back-up)

Transaxle assembly is protected by limiting the engine torque when the memory back-up power supply (for controlling) from the battery is not supplied to TCM. Normal status is restored when turning the ignition switch OFF to ON after the normal power supply.

FOR USA AND CANADA : Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER"

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. This system includes seat belt switch inputs and dual stage front air bag modules. The SRS system uses the seat belt switches to determine the front air bag deployment, and may only deploy one front air bag, depending on the severity of a collision and whether the front occupants are belted or unbelted. Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SRS AIRBAG and SEAT BELTS .

FOR USA AND CANADA : Precaution Necessary for Steering Wheel Rotation After Battery Disconnect

Note. This Procedure is applied only to models with Intelligent Key system and NVIS/IVIS (NISSAN/INFINITI VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM - NATS).
