HYDRAULIC CONTROL SYSTEM
The hydraulic control system is composed of an oil pump, valve body, solenoid valves, accumulators,
clutches and brakes, 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 hydraulic pressure
acting on the torque converter clutch, clutches and brakes in accordance with the vehicle driving condi-
tions.
There are five solenoid valves on the valve body.
The No.1 and No.2 solenoid valves are turned on and off by signals from the ECM to control the shift valves,
and change the gear shift position.
The No.3 solenoid valve is operated by signals from the ECM to engage or disengage the lock±up clutch
of the torque converter clutch.
The No.4 solenoid valve is operated by signals from the ECM to control the engagement speed and reduce
gear shift shock.
The No.5 solenoid valve is operated by signals from the ECM to regulate the line pressure to throttle pres-
sure.

ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM
The electronic control system for the A340E automatic transmission provides extremely precise control of
the gear shift timing and lock±up timing in response to driving conditions as sensed by various sensors
located throughout the vehicle and in response to the engine's running condition.
At the same time, the ECM control reduces vehicle squat when the vehicle starts out and gear shift shock.
The electronic control system is also equipped with a self diagnosis system which diagnoses malfunctions
for the vehicle to continue functioning when a malfunction occurs.
CONSTRUCTION
The electronic control system can be broadly divided onto three groups; the sensors, ECM and actuators.

ARRANGEMENT OF COMPONENTS
ComponentsFunction
Pattern Select Switch
Selects the Power mode or the Normal mode for shift and
lock±up timing.
Crankshaft Position Sensor and Camshaft Position
Sensor
Detects the engine speed.
Park/Neutral Position Switch Detects the shift lever position.
Stop Light Switch Detects if the brake pedal is depressed.
Throttle Position Sensor Detects the throttle valve opening angle.
O/D Main Switch Prevents up±shift to the O/D gear if the O/D switch is off.
Cruise Control ECU
This ECU prevents the transmission from shifting into O/D
and prohibits lock±up control when the vehicle's speed
drops below the cruise control set speed parameter.
No.1 and No.2 Vehicle Speed Sensor.
Detects the vehicle speed. Ordinarily, transmission control
uses signals from the No.2 vehicle speed sensor, and the
No.1 vehicle speed sensor is used as a back±up.

O/D Direct Clutch Speed Sensor Detects the input shaft speed from 1st gear to 3rd gear
Engine Coolant Temp. Sensor Detects the engine coolant temp.
ECM
Controls the engine and transmission actuators based on signals from
each sensor.
No.1 and No.2 Solenoid Valves
Control the hydraulic pressure applied to each shift valve, and control the
gear position and timing.
No.4 Solenoid Valve
(For accumulator back pressure modulation)
Controls the hydraulic pressure applied to the back chamber of the accu-
mulator and smoothes the engagement of clutches and brakes during
shifting.
No.3 Solenoid Valve
(For lock±up control pressure modulation)
Controls the hydraulic pressure applied to the lock±up clutch and controls
lock±up timing.
No.5 Solenoid Valve
(For line pressure modulation)
Controls the line pressure.
O/D OFF Indicator Light
Blinks and warns the driver, while the O/D main switch is pushed in,
when the electronic control circuit is malfunctioning.
A/T Fluid Temp. Sensor Detects A/T fluid temp.

PRECAUTION
PRECAUTIONS
When working with FIPG material, you must observe the following.
wUsing a razor blade and gasket scraper, remove all the old packing (FIPG) material from the gasket
surfaces.
wThoroughly clean all components to remove all the loose material.
wClean both sealing surfaces with a non±residue solvent.
wApply the FIPG in an approx. 1 mm (0.04 in.) wide bead along the sealing surface.
wParts must be assembled within 10 minutes of application. Otherwise, the FIPG material must be
removed and reapplied.
If the vehicle is equipped with a mobile communication system, refer to the precaution in the IN section.
