Operating Components And Functions






Sports Mode

Sports Mode Switch








Sports mode allows the manual up-shift and downshift with the accelerator pedal is depressed. The prompt response and shift would be obtained due to the continuous shifting without cutting of driving power. The shifting time is also decreased about 0.1sec during up-shift, 0.2sec during downshift. As the selector lever is pushed upward or downward one time, the gear is up shifted or downshifted by one gear.

Controller Area Network (CAN)
Previously, for different computers in the vehicle to share the same information, each signal required a different pin and wiring. However, with the introduction of a CAN system, only two lines are required to achieve the same function. The information is in digital format. This method does not use an integrated ECM.




Input signals to TCM(PCM) through 'CAN communication'

- Engine rpm, TPS signal
- A/CON signal, Engine coolant temperature
- Quantity of intake airflow, Vehicle speed
- Shift holding signal (FTCS ON)

Output signals from TCM(PCM) through 'CAN communication'
- Request signal for torque reduction
- ATF temperature, TCM(PCM) type, TCM(PCM) error or not
- Damper clutch ON, OFF / Gear position
