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.

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;

8. INSTALL NEW PADS
(a) Install new pad wear indicator plate to inner pad.
NINT: Be sure the arrow on the pad wear indicator
plate is pointing i n the direction of the disc rotation.
(b) (Except 2VZ±FE Engine of w/ A.B.S.)
Install the one anti±squeal shim to the each pad.
(c) (For 2VZ±FE Engine of w/ A.B.S.)
Install the two anti±squeal shims to the each pad.
HINT: Apply disc brake grease to both side of the inner
anti±squeal shim of the outside pad.
(d) Install the pads onto each support plate.
NOTICE: Do not allow oil or grease to get on the
rubbing face.
(e) Install the two anti±squeal springs.
9. INSTALL CYLINDER
(a) Draw out a small amount of brake fluid from the reser-
voir.
(b) Press in piston with a hammer handle or an equiva-
lent.
HINT: Always change the pad on one wheel at a time as
there is a possibility of the opposite piston flying out.
(c) Insert the brake cylinder carefully ±so the boot is not
wedged. 5. CHECK ROTOR DISC THICKNESS

light blinking.
If the warning light turns on, inspect the deceleration se
sor installation. And if the sensor installation is ±OK, r

2. The most frequent cause of problems is simply a bad contact
in wiring connectors. Always check that connections are
secure.
When inspecting the connector, pay particular attention to
the following points:
(a) Check to see that the terminals are not bent.
(b) Check to see that the connector is pushed in completely and
locked.
(e) Check to see that there is no signal change when the con-
nector is slightly tapped or wiggled.
3. Troubleshoot sufficiently for other causes before replacing
the ECU, as the ECU is of high quality and it is expensive.
