The system consists of the following components. Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Control Canister An EVAP control canister is used for the temporary storage of fuel vapour until the fuel vapour can be purged from the EVAP control canister into the engine and burned. Vapour Purge Control System EVAP control canister purging is accomplished by drawing fresh air through the EVAN control canister and into a port on the throttle body.

  • Page 561 Description 14-6 Clutches/Reverse Brake/Planetary Gear/Pulleys Clutches/Reverse Brake The CVT uses the hydraulically-actuated clutches and brake to engage or disengage the transmission gears. When hydraulic pressure is introduced into the clutch drum and the reverse brake piston cavity, the clutch piston and the reverse brake piston move. This presses the friction discs and the steel plates together, locking them so they don’t slip. Power is then transmitted through the engaged clutch pack to its hub-mounted gear and through engaged ring gear to pinion gears.

  • Page 569 Description 14-14 Hydraulic Control The hydraulic control system is controlled by the ATF pump, the valves and the solenoids. The ATF pump is driven by the input shaft. The ATF pump and the input shaft are linked by the ATF pump drive chain and the sprockets. The inhibitor solenoid valve and the linear solenoids, which are located on their valve body, are controlled by the PCM. Fluid from the ATF pump flows through the PH regulator valve to maintain specified pressure to the drive pulley, the driven pulley and the manual valve.
  • Page 570 Description 14-15 Hydraulic Control (cont’d) Secondary Valve Body The secondary valve body contains the PH regulator valve, the clutch reducing valve, the start clutch valve accumulator and the shift inhibitor valve. PH Regulator Valve The PH regulator valve maintains hydraulic pressure supplied from the ATF pump and supplies PH pressure to the hydraulic control circuit and the lubrication circuit. PH pressure is regulated at the PH regulator valve by the PH control pressure (PHC) from the PH control valve.
  • Page 571 Description 14-16 Hydraulic Control (cont’d) PL Regulator Valve Body The PL regulator valve body contains the PL regulator valve and the PH-PL control valve, which is joined with the PH-PL control linear solenoid. The inhibitor solenoid is bolted on the PL regulator valve body.
  • Page 572 Description 14-17 Hydraulic Control (cont’d) Shift Valve Body The shift valve body contains the shift valve and the shift control valve.

  • Page 574 Description 14-19 Hydraulic Flow (cont’d) Position As the engine turns, the ATF pump also starts to operate. Fluid from the ATF pump flows to the PH regulator valve and the clutch reducing valve. The PH regulator valve regulates high pressure (PH) and sends it to the shift valve and the PL regulator valve. The high pressure (PH) flows to the movable face of the driven pulley via the shift valve and turns into low pressure (PL) at the PL regulator valve.
  • Page 575 Description 14-20 Hydraulic Flow (cont’d) position, at low speed range The flow of fluid up to the drive pulley, the driven pulley and the clutch reducing valve is the same as in position. The pulley ratio is low because the driven pulley receives high pressure (PH) and the drive pulley receives low pressure (PL).
  • Page 576 Description 14-21 Hydraulic Flow (cont’d) position, at middle speed range. As the speed of the vehicle reaches the prescribed value, the shift control linear solenoid is activated by the PCM. The shift control linear solenoid controls the shift control valve to activate shift valve pressure (SV).
  • Page 577 Description 14-22 Hydraulic Flow (cont’d) position, at high speed range As the speed of the vehicle reaches the prescribed value, the shift control linear solenoid moves the shift control valve to increase shift valve pressure (SV) at the left end of the shift valve.
  • Page 578 Description 14-23 Hydraulic Flow (cont’d) position The flow of fluid up to the drive pulley, the driven pulley and the clutch reducing valve is the same as in position.

  • Page 579 Description 14-24 Hydraulic Flow (cont’d) position Reverse Inhibitor Control If the position is selected while the vehicle is moving forward at speeds over 6 mph (10 km/h), the inhibitor solenoid does not turn off by means of the PCM. Reverse inhibitor pressure (RI) is not applied to the reverse inhibitor valve as the reverse inhibitor solenoid turns on.
  • Page 580 Description 14-25 Hydraulic Flow (cont’d) position The flow of fluid up to the drive pulley, the driven pulley and the clutch reducing valve is the same as in position. Clutch reducing pressure (CR) flows to the start clutch control valve, the manual valve and the shift control valve and is intercepted by those valves. Under this condition, hydraulic pressure is not applied to the clutches and reverse brake.
  • Page 581 Description 14-26 Hydraulic Flow (cont’d) position, when the electronic control system is faulty. When the electronic control system (linear solenoids and sensors) is faulty, the transmission uses the pitot pipe pressure (PP) to allow the vehicle to drive. When all linear solenoids and sensors are off because of a faulty electronic control system, clutch reducing pressure (CR) flows to the start clutch control valve, the manual valve, the PH-PL control valve and the shift control valve.
  • Page 582 Description 14-27 Hydraulic Flow (cont’d) position, when the electronic control system is faulty The flow of fluid up to the drive pulley, the driven pulley and the start clutch is the same as in position. The manual valve is shifted into the position and it uncovers the port that leads reverse brake pressure (RVS) to the reverse inhibitor valve.
  • Page 583 Description 14-28 Parking Brake Mechanism The parking brake mechanism locks the transmission by engaging the parking brake pawl with the parking gear which is integral with the secondary drive gear.

  • Page 737 Description 15-6 Hydraulic Flow Forward Start and Acceleration (4WD) During a forward start and forward acceleration, the dual pump system can engage four wheel drive. If the front wheels spin faster than the rear wheels, the front oil pump spins faster than the rear oil pump. The front pump draws fluid through check valve B and discharges it. Some of the discharged fluid is drawn in by the rear oil pump.
  • Page 738: Rear Oil Pump

    Description 15-7 Hydraulic Flow (cont’d) Forward Deceleration (2WD) During a forward deceleration, the dual pump system functions in two wheel drive mode. Because of the braking characteristics, the speed of the rear wheels may exceed the speed of the front wheels during deceleration. If so , the rear oil pump spins faster than the front oil pump.

The rotation speed of the front and rear wheels is the same, so the speed of the front and rear pumps is also the same. Fluid discharged by the front oil pump is drawn in by the rear oil pump and is circulated through the system, but, because there is a difference in the capacity between the two pumps, fluid flows through check valve E and then through orifices.

If the temperature of the fluid in the differential goes to high, the thermal switch pushes open the relief valve R. This causes the pressure in the clutch piston to drop and 4WD mode is disengaged.

  • Page 908 Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) 19-B-4 Features/Construction When the brake pedal is depressed during driving, the wheels can lock before the vehicle comes to a stop. In such an event, the manoeuvrability of the vehicle is reduced if the front wheels are locked, and the stability of the vehicle is reduced if the rear wheels are locked, creating an extremely unstable condition. The ABS precisely controls the slip rate of the wheels to ensure maximum grip force from the tyres, and it thereby ensures manoeuvrability and stability of the vehicle.

  • Page 910 Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) 19-B-6 Features/Construction (Cont’d) ABS Modulator The ABS modulator consists of the inlet solenoid valve, outlet solenoid valve, reservoir, pump, pump motor and the damping chamber. The modulator reduces the caliper fluid pressure directly. It is a circulating-type modulator because the brake fluid circulates through the caliper, reservoir and the master cylinder. The hydraulic control has three modes: pressure intensifying, pressure retaining and pressure reducing modes.
  • Page 911 Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) 19-B-7 Features/Construction (cont’d) Wheel Sensor The wheel sensors are the magnetic contactless type. As the gear pulsar teeth rotate past the wheel sensor’s magnetic coil, AC current is generated. The AC frequency changes in accordance with the wheel speed. The ABS control unit detects the wheel sensor signal frequency and thereby detects the wheel speed. Wheel Speed and Modulator Control When the wheel speed drops sharply below the vehicle speed, the outlet valve opens momentarily to reduce the caliper fluid pressure.
