Automatic Transmission (V12) Powertrain
Engine Speed
The engine speed is provided by an open collector signal supplied from the engine management control module
(ECM).
Throttle Position
This signal, from the ECM, performs the following two functions:
1.
2.
Engine Torque (and warm-up)
This signal, from the ECM, performs the following three functions:
1. During cranking to convey the completion of an engine warm
-up cycle to TCM.
2. To convey engine torque information, under normal running conditions, to TCM.
3. To convey engine torque fault signals to TCM.
Engine ‘warm
-up’ cycle commences from ignition ON until 500ms after the engine exceeds 400rpm. After this time
delay either an engine torque, or torque fault signal will be transmitted.
Transmission Input Speed
The transmission input speed sensor is mounted within the transmission housing and produces a variable frequency
signal, directly proportional to forward clutch housing rotational speed which is transmitted to the TCM. Sensor resis- tance equals 1.25kQ f 0.25.
Transmission Output Speed
The transmission output speed sensor is mounted within the transmission housing and produces a variable frequency
signal, directly proportional to the rear carrier rotational speed which is transmitted to the TCM. Sensor resistance
equals
1.25w2 + 0.25.
hake Application
When a brake application signal is received, due to brake switch operation, the torque convertor clutch lock-up sole- noid is de-energized, releasing lock-up mode if already applied
Transmission Oil Temperature
The transmission oil temperature sensor, located within the internal harness, monitors oil temperature and transmits a corresponding signal to the TCM.
To convey throttle position information to the TCM.
To indicate fault conditions between ECM and throttle potentiometer.
8.2.4.2 OUTPUTS
Gear Shift Solenoids
The two gear shift solenoids, located within the transmission housing, determine gear ratio when the selector is in any
of the forward gear positions.
Force Motor
The force motor, mounted within the transmission housing acts as a transmission torque fluid pressure regulator.
Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) Solenoid
The torque converter clutch solenoid, mounted within the transmission housing, provides a direct drive from the en- gine, via the converter clutch, to the driven wheels, giving the efficiency of a manual gearbox. The solenoid also pro- vides a ’ramp‘ apply and release to engage / disengage the clutch gently.
