Nissan Altima 2007-2012 Service Manual: Control system
System Diagram
System Description
The CVT senses vehicle operating conditions through various sensors. It always controls the optimum shift position and reduces shifting and lock-up shocks.
TCM FUNCTION
The function of the TCM is to: • Receive input signals sent from various switches and sensors.
• Determine required line pressure, shifting point, and lock-up operation.
• Send required output signals to the step motor and the respective solenoids.
*: Without manual mode.
INPUT/OUTPUT SIGNAL OF TCM
*1: Input by CAN communications.
*2: If these input and output signals are different, the TCM triggers the fail-safe function.
