Lubricating Pressure, Function
Operation
The working pressure regulating valve diverts surplus oil to the lubrication pressure regulating valve, from
where it is controlled and used for lubricating and cooling the mechanical transmission and torque converter. In
addition the pressure in the torque converter is limited via the lubrication pressure.

Shift Pressure, Function
Operation
The shift pressure is determined by the shift pressure regulating solenoid valve (Y3/6y2) and the shift pressure
regulating valve.
The shift pressure:
Regulates the pressure in the activating shift element during the shift phase.
Determines together with the modulating pressure the pressure reduction at the deactivating shift element

Modulating Pressure, Function
Operation
The modulating pressure influences the size of the working pressure and determines together with the shift
pressure the pressure regulated at the overlap regulating valve.
The modulating pressure is regulated at the modulating pressure regulating solenoid (Y3/6y1), which is under
regulating valve pressure. The modulating pressure via variable and relative to the engine load.

Shift Valve Pressure, Function
Operation
The shift valve pressure is derived from the regulating valve pressure, regulated at the shift valve pressure
regulating valve and is then present:
1-2 And 4-5 Shift Solenoid Valve (Y3/6Y3)
3-4 Shift Solenoid Valve (Y3/6Y4)
2-3 Shift Solenoid Valve (Y3/6Y5)
Torque Converter Lockup PWM Solenoid Valve (Y3/6Y6)
3-4 And 2-3 Shift Pressure Valve Shift Valve
The shift valve pressure controls the command valves via the upshift/downshift solenoid valves.

Task
The ETC control module (N15/3) determines the instantaneous operating condition of the vehicle and controls
all gearshift sequences taking into account the ease of shifting and the driving situation. This involves receiving,
converting and transmitting various digital and analog signals. See Fig. 157
.
It receives operating data in the form of input signals from:
Starter Lock-Out Contact (Y3/6S1)
RPM Sensor 2 (Y3/6N2)
RPM Sensor 3 (Y3/6N3)
Transmission Oil Temperature Sensor (Y3/6B1)
In addition there is a connection via the engine compartment bus to the:
Instrument Cluster (A1)
ME-SFI Control Module (N3/10) or CDI Control Module (N3/9)
The solenoid valves for the modulating and shift pressure and for the gear changes are actuated by the ETC
control module (N15/3).
The pressure required is calculated from all input signals, adjusted to the torque to be transferred. The following
information from other systems is then processed:
ME-SFI Control Module (N3/10) or CDI Control Module (N3/9):
Engine Torque
Engine Speed
Accelerator Pedal Position
Gear Shift
Engine Status
Electronic selector lever module control module (N15/5):
Kickdown Switch (S16/6)
Selector Lever Position P/N
Traction system control module (N47):
Transmission Ratio
Speeds
Instrument cluster (A1):
