MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The TCM receives signals from the transmission revolution sensor (NC1) installed to the continuously variable transaxle and determines the intermediate shaft (C1 clutch) speed.

If the TCM detects no signal from the transmission revolution sensor (NC1) even while the vehicle is being driven, it will determine that in the transmission revolution sensor (NC1) is malfunctioning, illuminate the MIL and store a DTC.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN

CAUTION:

When performing the confirmation driving pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.

HINT:

  • After repairs have been completed, clear the DTCs and then check that the vehicle has returned to normal by performing the following All Readiness check procedure.
  • When clearing the permanent DTCs, refer to the Clear Permanent DTC procedure.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

CAUTION:

  • Strictly observe posted speed limits, traffic laws and road conditions.
  • Do not drive the vehicle with the cable of the Techstream contacting the pedals, shift lever or steering wheel.
  • Driving the vehicle with the cable of the Techstream contacting these areas could impede vehicle control, resulting in a serious accident.
  • Do not operate the Techstream while driving the vehicle.
  • Operating the Techstream while driving the vehicle will prevent you from paying sufficient attention to vehicle surroundings, and could result in a serious accident.

NOTICE:

  • Perform the universal trip to clear permanent DTCs.
