AIM
When the transmission control module (TCM) is replaced or when the learned value is initialized, the
CVT-ECU does not have any learned value. This may degrade the shift quality. The ECU learns by repeating
normal driving. In order to make the ECU learn faster, follow the procedure below.
LEARNING PROCEDURE
Step Item Contents
s
1 Engine idling learning Refer to GROUP 00  Precautions Before Service  Engine
Idling Learning Procedure P.00-41.
2 Transmission fluid temperature Use the scan tool (M.U.T.-III) to measure the transmission fluid
measurement temperature (data list item No. 21).
3 Transmission fluid temperature Start the engine and warm it up until the transmission fluid
adjustment temperature reaches approximately 80C.
If the transmission fluid temperature does not rise to 80C
(176F) in cold climates, raise the fluid temperature as much as
possible.
4 Line pressure sensor learning 1. Start the engine when the selector lever is in the P range and
the vehicle is stopped.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK (OFF) position to stop the
engine.
3. Wait for 30 seconds in the state described in Step 2.
4. Repeat above steps 1 to 3 three times to complete learning.
5 Select control learning 1. Start the engine, and move the selector lever from the "N"
range to the "D" range and from the "N" range to the "R" range
(two or three times each). If there is no shift shock, the
learning is complete.
2. If the shift shock is large, move the selector lever from the "N"
range to the "D" range and from the "N" range to the "R"range
(up to 10 times each) and the learning is complete.
CAUTION
When moving the selector lever from the "N" range to the
"D" range, and from the "N" range to the "R" range, hold for
5 seconds or more in each range.

DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION
M1231219000383
WARNING INDICATOR
If a malfunction occurs in the CVT system, any of "R", "N", "D",
"B" or "A" on the selector lever position indicator in the
multi-information display will be flashed (one flash per two sec-
onds).
NOTE: .
 The selector lever position indicator "P" does not flash when
a malfunction occurs in the CVT system.
 When the system is normal, the selector lever position indi-
cator "A" is not displayed. Only when a malfunction occurs
ACC06963AB in the transmission range switch, the indicator will flash.
If the selector lever position indicator flashes rapidly (one flash
per one second), the transmission fluid temperature is too high.
[Flashes when the fluid temperature is approximately 137C
(279F) or higher, and stops flashing (remains illuminated)
automatically when the fluid temperature drops below approxi-
mately 132C (270F).]
NOTE: These transmission fluid temperatures, at which the
indicator flashes or remains illuminated, are indication values
on the scan tool (M.U.T.-III).

TRANSMISSION FLUID CHECK

M1231211700719
CAUTION
Replace the transmission fluid whenever the transaxle is
replaced with a new one or the vehicle is driven in harsh
conditions.
1. Drive the vehicle until the transmission fluid is warmed up to
the normal operating temperature 50  80C (122  176F).
NOTE: Use scan tool (M.U.T.-III.) to measure the transmis-
sion fluid temperature.

fluid and dirt. Then, insert the oil level gauge again and pull it
to check the condition of the transmission fluid.
NOTE: If the transmission fluid smells burnt or is excessively
deteriorated or dirty, the transmission fluid is contaminated
with particles of the metal bushings and friction material. In
these cases, the transaxle must be replaced.
5. Check that the transmission fluid level is within the "H" area
on the oil level gauge. If the fluid level is low, add the
transmission fluid to the "H" level.
Transmission fluid: MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE
CVTF-J4
NOTE: When the transmission fluid level is low, the oil pump
sucks air together with the transmission fluid, and produces
air bubbles in the hydraulic circuit. The air bubbles in the
hydraulic circuit decreases the hydraulic pressure, causing
ACB04730 the delayed gearshift or slippage of the belt, clutch, and
brake. When the transmission fluid level is too high, the fluid
is stirred by the gear and foams up, and the problems similar
to those when the transmission fluid level is low will occur. In
either case, air bubbles cause the overheat and oxidation of
the transmission fluid, which prevents normal operation of
the valve, clutch, and brake. Beside, when the transmission
fluid is foamy, it flows out of the transaxle vent hole. This
may be taken as the fluid leakage by mistake.
6. Insert the oil level gauge securely.

This test measures the maximum engine speed at the time the
torque converter stalls with the selector lever in the D or R posi-
tion. With this test, the holding abilities of the clutch and brake
that are incorporated in the transaxle can be checked.
WARNING
For safety, operators must not stand in front of and at
the rear of the vehicle during this test.
1. Check the transmission fluid level, transmission fluid
temperature, and engine coolant temperature.
 Transmission fluid level: In the "HOT" range on the oil level
gauge
 Transmission fluid temperature: 60 to 70C (140 to 158F)
 Engine coolant temperature: 80 to 100C (176 to 212F)

 Do not maintain the WOT condition for 5 seconds or
longer.
 When continuing the stall test, make sure that the fluid
temperature does not exceed 70C (158F). If the trans-
mission fluid temperature exceeds 70C (158F), run
the engine at around 1,000 r/min for 1 minute or longer
to lower the transmission fluid temperature to 70C
(158F) or less.
