Hi Johnny,
I think the best way to answer your question is to say the following:
Vinnana means acting without nana or wisdom.
That basically means acting with either the worse form of avijja with one or more of 10 types of micca ditthi OR just acting without the comprehension of Tilakkhana. The latter case is less dangerous, of course. So, there are different levels of avijja, micca ditthi, and corresponding vinnana.
So, when akusala-mula pavutti paticca samuppada cycles are in operation, that means acting with vinnana.
Pancaupadanakkhandha also arises when one is craving for something in this world. So, akusala-mula pavutti paticca samuppada cycles must be in operation.
