The ECM uses signals from the transmission revolution sensor (NT) installed to the continuously variable transaxle to control the lock-up engagement pressure.
The transmission revolution sensor (NT) detects the input turbine speed and sends it to the ECM.

The transmission revolution sensor (NT) is used to detect the input turbine speed. The ECM determines the necessary gear ratio based on a comparison of the transmission revolution sensor (NT) (input turbine speed) and vehicle speed (SPD) signals.
When the vehicle speed is higher than the expected value and the input turbine speed is less than 300 rpm while driving with the shift lever in D, the ECM will determine that the transmission revolution sensor (NT) is malfunctioning, illuminate the MIL and store a DTC.
When performing the confirmation driving pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.
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.
Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
Turn the ignition switch off and wait for 2 minutes or more.
Perform the D Position Shift Test inspection in Road Test. [*1]
[*1]: Normal judgment procedure.
The normal judgment procedure is used to complete DTC judgment and also used when clearing permanent DTCs.
Stop the vehicle.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / All Readiness.
Input the DTC: P071512, P071514 or P071531.
Check the DTC judgment result.

If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE or N/A, perform the normal judgment procedure again.
Strictly observe posted speed limits, traffic laws and road conditions.
Do not drive the vehicle with the cable of the GTS contacting the pedals, shift lever or steering wheel.
Driving the vehicle with the cable of the GTS contacting these areas could impede vehicle control, resulting in a serious accident.
Do not operate the GTS while driving the vehicle.
Operating the GTS while driving the vehicle will prevent you from paying sufficient attention to vehicle surroundings, and could result in a serious accident.
Perform the universal trip to clear permanent DTCs.
Perform registration and/or initialization when parts related to the continuously variable transaxle system are replaced.
Check that no DTCs are stored after performing initialization.
