CVT
GENERAL INFORMATION
The new CVT has been developed to achieve excellent fuel economy, further easy driving, and fun to
drive. This CVT has achieved a quick and smooth
acceleration feel suitable for LANCER, when the
vehicle accelerates from any speeds. The CVT combines "torque converter" and "continuously variable
transaxle mechanism by steel belt and pulley" to

TORQUE CONVERTER
The torque converter with the "3-element, 1-stage,
2-phase" lock-up mechanism has been adopted.
OIL PUMP
The vane-type oil pump driven by the engine via the
oil pump drive chain has been adopted to increase
efficiency of the pump discharge amount at low
engine speed and optimise the pump discharge
amount at high engine speed. The oil discharged
from the oil pump flows to the control valve, and is
used as operating fluid for the primary and secondary pulleys, operating fluid for the clutch, and lubricant for each part.

The primary and secondary pulleys are both comprised of the fixed pulley with 11-degree slope and
movable pulley. Each has a hydraulic chamber (the
primary or secondary chamber) behind the movable
pulley. The movable pulley can slide along the axis
with a ball spline to change the groove width of the

When the sport mode is switched ON with the selector lever or paddle shift, the fixed shifting line is
determined. The upshift/downshift operation enables
to shift in steps according to the predetermined shifting line, providing M/T-like shifting. The 6-speed
transmission which is suitable for sporty driving is
adopted.

SELF-DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
M2231001600011
DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION
TCM is equipped with the diagnostic function to monitor the input signals from each sensor and output
signals from the actuators. If abnormality occurs in
the signal system, the diagnostic function memorises
the abnormal symptoms and outputs a diagnosis
code via M.U.T.-III.
FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION
If abnormality occurs in signals from various sensors,
switches, or solenoids, this function allows controlling them with the minimum adverse effect to the
driving performance. The following shows the
fail-safe controls when an abnormal signal is input to
TCM from each sensor.
Item
Control content
Secondary pulley speed sensor
Stops the secondary pressure feedback control and controls the line
pressure using the fixed value for the fail-safe function. Also,
suppresses the engine torque.
Stops the primary pressure feedback control and controls the line
pressure using the fixed value for the fail-safe function. Also,
suppresses the engine torque.
23-33
Item
Control content
Stepper motor
Switches all the coils A to D of the stepper motor OFF to retain the
pulley ratio just before the abnormality occurs.
If the control memory back-up power supply from the battery is not
supplied to TCM, limits the engine torque to protect the transmission
main body. After the normal power is supplied, turning the key switch
from OFF to ON once resumes the normal status.

TRANSAXLE CONTROL
GENERAL INFORMATION
The selector lever with the gate-type has been
adopted. For vehicles with sport mode, in addition to
the manual gate of selector lever, the paddle shift
has been equipped around the steering wheel to
achieve "Fun to Drive." The selector lever has the
following features:
The shift gate configuration and the operating
power at each shift position have been properly
tuned, ensuring the firm and smooth operation
feel.
The sport mode (6-speed) has been installed to
allow the driver to shift manually according to
his/her intention. <Vehicles with sport mode>
