Issue

In the continuously variable transmission (CVT), the control unit software does not properly manage clutch engagement, causing a delay in clutch coupling inside the CVT. This delay may result in no drive force being transmitted at launch. As a result, when the brake pedal is released on a hill, the vehicle may temporarily roll backward under its own weight.

Corrective action

On all vehicles, reprogram the CVT ECU control software to the corrected specification.

状況

自動無段変速機(CVT)において、コントロールユニットの制御が不適切なため、CVT内部のクラッチの結合が遅れ、発進時に駆動力が伝わらないことがある。 そのため、坂道での発進時にブレーキペダルを放した際、一時的に車両の自重で坂道を下がるおそれがある。

改善措置

全車両、CVT ECUの制御プログラムを対策仕様に書き替える。
