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.

COMPONENT PARTS
General Notes
The instructions here are organized so that you work on only one component group at a time.
This will help avoid confusion from similar-looking parts of different subassemblies being on
your workbench at the same time.
The component groups are inspected and repaired from the converter housing side.
As much as possible, complete the inspection, repair and assembly before proceeding to the
next component group. If a component group can not be assembled because parts are being or-
dered, be sure to keep all parts of that group in a separate container while proceeding with disas-
sembly, inspection, repair and assembly of other component groups.
Recommended fluid for the automatic transaxle: A540E ATF DEXRON
II
A540H ATF Type T or equivalent
Recommended oil for the transfer: Transaxle oil E50, API GL5, SAE 75W-90 or equivalent
GENERAL CLEANING NOTES:
1. All disassembled parts should be washed clean, with any fluid passages and holes blown
through with compressed air.
2. When using compressed air to dry parts, always aim away from yourself to prevent acciden-
tally spraying automatic transaxle fluid or kerosene in your face.
3. The recommended automatic transaxle fluid or kerosene should be used for cleaning.
PARTS ARRANGEMENT:
1. After cleaning, the parts should be arranged in proper order to allow efficient inspection,
repairs, and reassembly.
2. When disassembling a valve body, be sure to keep each valve together with the corre-
sponding spring.
3. New brakes and clutches that are to be used for replacement must be soaked in transaxle
fluid for at least fifteen minutes before assembly.
GENERAL ASSEMBLY:
1. All oil seal rings, clutch discs, clutch plates, rotating parts, and sliding surfaces should be
coated with transmission fluid prior to reassembly.
2. All gaskets and rubber O-rings should be replaced.
3. Make sure that the ends of a snap ring are not aligned with one of the cutouts and are
installed in the groove correctly.
4. If a worn bushing is to be replaced, the subassembly containing that bushing must be re-
placed.
5. Check thrust bearings and races for wear or damage. Replace if necessary.
6. Use petroleum jelly to keep parts in place.

3. Hydraulic Control System
CONSTRUCTION
The hydraulic control is composed of an oil pump, rotated by the engine, which supplies hydraulic pres-
sure; a valve body which controls the hydraulic pressure and the opening and closing of the fluid pas-
saged; and a governor valve which supplies hydraulic pressure in accordance with vehicle speed.
OPERATION
Hydraulic pressure supplied by the oil pump is controlled± by the regulator valve; the resulting oil pres-
sure controlled by the regulator valve is called the line pressure.
Line pressure produces the hydraulic pressure for throttle pressure and governor pressure. Also, line
pressure produces hydraulic pressure for the operation of each brake and clutch in the planetary gear
unit.
The throttle valve acts to produce hydraulic pressure, called the throttle pressure, which responds to ac-
celerator pedal modulation. Throttle pressure increases as the accelerator pedal is depressed.
The governor valve produces hydraulic pressure, called the governor pressure, in response to vehicle
speed. Governor pressure increases as vehicle speed increases.
In accordance with the difference between throttle pressure and governor pressure, each shift valve
shifts, the fluid passages to the clutches are brakes in the planetary gear unit are opened and the
clutches and brakes operate, and shift change occurs.
The operation of the hydraulic control system, using the 2±3 shift valve as an example, is shown below;
