DESCRIPTION
GENERAL
(A540E)
The A540E is a 4-speed, Electronic Controlled Transaxle (hereafter called ECT) developed exclusively
for use with a transversely-mounted engine. A lock-up is built into the torque converter.
The A540E transaxle is mainly composed of the torque converter, the 4-speed planetary gear unit, the
differential, the hydraulic control system and the electronic control system.
AT-2- AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLEDescription

AT5032
(A540H)
The A540H automatic transaxle design is based on the A540E automatic transaxle and equipped with a
center differential and transfer.
This transaxle has the same hydraulic multiplate clutch in the center differential limiting control mecha-
nism as the A241H automatic transaxle on the Corolla All-Trac/4WD Station Wagon. The fluid pressure
acting on the hydraulic multiplate clutch of the A540H is controlled by the ECT ECU (Electronic Control
Unit) according to the vehicle driving conditions. As a result, torque is distributed to the front and rear
wheels appropriately at all times to maximize the overall performance of the 4WD vehicle.
NOTICE: Special handling methods are necessary for full-time 4WD vehicles during inspection and
maintenance. Instructions concerning these handling methods are given on Camry Repair Manual
(Pub. No. RM199U) on page IN-8.

VALVE BODY
Hydraulic Control System

A540E, A540H
The hydraulic control system is composed of the oil pump, the valve body, the solenoid valves, the accu-
mulators, the clutches and brakes, and the governor valve as well as the fluid passages which connect all
of these components.
Based on the hydraulic pressure created by the oil pump, the hydraulic control system governs the hy-
draulic pressure acting on the torque converter, clutches and brakes in accordance with the vehicle driving
conditions.
There are three solenoid valves on the valve body.
The No. 1 and No. 2 solenoid valves are turned on and off by signals from ECU to operate the shift valves
and change the gear shift position.
The No. 3 solenoid valve is operated by signals from the ECU to engage or disengage the lock-up clutch
of the torque converter.

A540H
There are two center differential control solenoid valves on the transfer.
The solenoid valves are adjusting the center differential control pressure.
