INTEGRATED CONTROL SYSTEM : System Description


CVT models

System Description
TCM transmits a drive mode select signal to ECM via CAN communication, according to a NORMAL mode signal, SPORT mode signal, or ECO mode signal received from the multi display unit via CAN communication.
ECM controls torque and throttle opening angle characteristics appropriate for each mode, based on a received drive mode select signal.
NOTE:
- Because of the multi display unit operation, the display may indicate that the mode is switching. However, the mode may not actually switch due to CAN communication error.
- When a CAN communication error occurs between ECM and TCM, the mode switches to NORMAL mode.

M/T models
