Output circuits which control external devices such
as the Variable Pressure Solenoid (VPS) driver, On/
Off solenoid drivers, a diagnostics output and the
driving mode indicator light.
Processing Logic
Shift schedule and calibration information is stored in
an Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (EPROM).
Throttle input calibration constants and the diagnostics
information are stored in Electrically Erasable Program-
mable Read Only Memory (EEPROM) that retains the
memory even when power to the TCM is disconnected.
TCM continuously monitors the input values and uses
these, via the shift schedule, to determine the required
gear state. At the same time it monitors, via the solenoid
outputs, the current gear state, whenever the input
conditions change such that the required gear state is
different to the current gear state, the TCM initiates a
gear shift to bring the two states back into line.
Once the TCM has determined the type of gearshift
required the TCM accesses the shift logic, estimates
the engine torque output, adjusts the variable pressure
solenoid ramp pressure then executes the shift.The TCM continuously monitors every input and output
circuit for short or open circuits and operating range.
When a failure or abnormal operation is detected the
TCM records the condition code in the diagnostics
memory and implements a Limp Home Mode (LHM).
The actual limp home mode used depends upon the
failure detected with the object to maintain maximum
drive-ability without damaging the transmission. In
general input failures are handled by providing a default
value. Output failures, which are capable of damaging
the transmission, result in full limp mode giving only
third or fourth gear and reverse. For further details of
limp modes and memory retention refer to the
Diagnostic Trouble Code Diagnosis Section.
The TCM is designed to operate at ambient
temperatures between - 40 and 85 °C (- 40 and 185 °F).
It is also protected against electrical noise and voltage
spikes, however all the usual precautions should be
observed, for example when arc welding or jump
starting.
TCM Inputs
To function correctly, the TCM requires engine speed,
vehicle speed, transmission fluid temperature, throttle
position, gear position and Kickdown Switch inputs to
determine the variable pressure solenoid current ramp
and on/off solenoid states.
KAA5A030
This ensures the correct gear selection and shift feel
for all driving conditions.
The inputs required by the TCM are as follows;

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION 5A-5
SSANGYONG MY2002
Engine Speed
The engine speed signal is derived from the Control-
ler Area Network (CAN) via Engine Control Module
(ECM).
Vehicle Speed
The vehicle speed sensor, which is located in the
transfer case, sends the output shaft speed signal
to the Engine Control Module (ECM). The information
is then transferred to the TCM via the CAN.
Transmission Fluid Temperature
The transmission fluid temperature sensor is a
thermistor located in the solenoid wiring loom within
the valve body of the transmission. This sensor is
a typical Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC)
resistor with low temperatures producing a high
resistance and high temperatures producing a low
resistance.
If the transmission fluid temperature exceeds 135
°C (275 °F), the TCM will impose converter lock-up
at lower vehicle speeds and in some vehicles
flashes the mode indicator light. This results in
maximum oil flow through the external oil cooler and
eliminates slippage in the torque converter. Both
these actions combine to reduce the oil temperature
in the transmission.

Solenoids
The TCM controls seven solenoids. Solenoids 1 to 6
(S1 to S6) are mounted in the valve body, while
Solenoid 7 (S7) is mounted in the pump cover.
Solenoid 1 and 2: S1 and S2 are normally open ON/
OFF solenoids that set the selected gear. These
solenoids determine static gear position by
operating the shift valves. Note that S1 and S2
solenoids also send signal pressure to allow or
prohibit rear band engagement.
Solenoid 3 and 4: S3 and S4 are normally open ON/
OFF solenoids that combine to control shift quality
and sequencing. S3 switches the clutch regulator
valve OFF or ON. S4 switches the front band regula-
tor valve OFF or ON. S5 also provides the signal
pressure for the converter clutch regulator valve.
Solenoid 5: S5 is a variable pressure solenoid that
ramps the pressure during gear changes. This sole-
noid provides the signal pressure to the clutch and
band regulator, thereby controlling the shift pres-
sures. S5 also provides the signal pressure for the
converter clutch regulator valve.
Solenoid 6: S6 is a normally open ON/OFF solenoid
that sets the high/low level of line pressure. Solenoid
OFF gives high pressure.
Solenoid 7: S7 is a normally open ON/OFF solenoid
that controls the application of the converter clutch.
Solenoid ON activates the clutch.

Kickdown Switch
The Kickdown Switch is used to signal the TCM that
the driver has pressed the acclerator to the floor and
requires a kickdown shift. When this switch is used,
the POWER light comes ON and the POWER shift
pattern is used.
Diagnostic Inputs
The diagnostic control input or K-line is used to initiate
the outputting of diagnostic data from the TCM to a
diagnostic test instrument. This input may also be used
to clear the stored fault history data from the TCM’s
retentive memory. Connection to the diagnostic input
of the TCM is via a connector included in the vehicle’s
wiring harness or computer interface.
Battery Voltage Monitoring Input
The battery voltage monitoring input is connected to
the positive side of the battery. This signal is taken
from the main supply to the TCM.
If the battery voltage at the TCM falls below 11.3 V,
the transmission will adopt a low voltage mode of
operating in which shifts into first gear are inhibited.
All other shifts are allowed but may not occur because
of the reduced voltage. This condition normally occurs
only when the battery is in poor condition.
If the battery voltage is greater than 16.5 V, the trans-
mission will adopt limp home mode and all solenoids
are turned OFF.
When system voltage recovers, the TCM will resume
normal operation after a 30 seconds delay period.
TCM Outputs
The outputs from the TCM are supplied to the compo-
nents described below;

Solenoid Valve Symbols
(ON/OFF Solenoids)
The solenoid symbol shown adjacent to each solenoid
on the hydraulic system schematics indicates the state
of the oil flow through the solenoid valve with the power
ON or OFF.
Normally Open (NO) Solenoid
POWER ON: Line 500 port is closed. The output port
is open to exhaust at the solenoid valve.
POWER OFF: The exhaust port is closed. The output
port is open to line 500.
Variable Pressure Solenoid Multiplexing System
Friction element shifting pressures are controlled by
the Variable Pressure Solenoid (VPS).
Line pressure is completely independent of shift pres-
sure and is a function of throttle position, gear state
and engine speed.
S5 is a proportional or variable pressure solenoid that
provides the signal pressure to the clutch and band
regulator valves thereby controlling shift pressures.
VPS pressure is multiplexed to the clutch regulator
valve, the band regulator valve and the converter clutch
regulator valve during automatic gearshifts.
A variable pressure solenoid produces a hydraulic
pressure inversely proportional to the current applied.
During a gearshift the TCM applies a progressively
increasing or decreasing (ramped) current to the
solenoid. Current applied will vary between a minimum
oaf 200 mA and a maximum of 1000 mA. Increasing
current decreases output (S5) pressure. Decreasing
current increases output (S5) pressure.
Line 500 pressure, (approximately 440 to 560 kPa), is
the reference pressure for the VPS, and the VPS output
pressure is always below line 500 pressure.
When the VPS is at standby, that is no gearshift is
taking place, the VPS current is set to 200 mA giving
maximum output pressure.
Under steady state conditions the band and clutch
regulator valve solenoids are switched OFF.This applies full Line 500 pressure to the plunger and
because Line 500 pressure is always greater than S5
pressure it squeezes the S5 oil out between the
regulator valve and the plunger. The friction elements
are then fed oil pressure equal to Line 500 multiplied
by the amplification ratio.
When a shift is initiated the required ON/OFF solenoid
is switched ON cutting the supply of Line 500 to the
plunger.
At the same time the VPS pressure is reduced to the
ramp start value and assumes control of the regulator
valve by pushing the plunger away from the valve.
The VPS then carries out the required pressure ramp
and the timed shift is completed by switching OFF the
ON/ OFF solenoid and returning the VPS to the standby
pressure.
This system enables either the band or clutch or both
to be electrically controlled for each gearshift.
Mode Indicator Light
Depending on the application, the mode indicator light
may be used to indicate the mode that has been se-
lected or if an overheat condition exists. The mode
indicator light is usually located on the instrument
cluster.
Communication Systems
CAN
The Controller Area Network (CAN) connects various
control modules by using a twisted pair of wires, to
share common information. This results in a reduction
of sensors and wiring. TCM obtains the actual engine
speed and throttle position, vehicle speed and
accelerator position etc. from ECM via CAN without
any additional sensors.
K-Line
The K-line is typically used for obtaining diagnostic
information from the TCM. A scan tool with a special
interface is connected to the TCM via Data Link
Connector (DLC) and all current faults, stored faults,
runtime parameters are then available. The stored
trouble codes can also be cleared by scan tool.
The K-line can be used for vehicle coding at the
manufacturer’s plant or in the workshop. This allows
for one TCM design to be used over different vehicle
mod-els.
The particular code is sent to the microprocessor via
the K-line and this results in the software selecting the
correct shift and VPS ramp parameters.
Data Link Connector (DLC)
The Data Link Connector (DLC) is a multiple cavity
connector. The DLC provides the means to access the
serial data from the TCM.
The DLC allows the technician to use a scan tool to
monitor the various systems and display the Diagnostic
Trouble Codes (DTCs).

The DLC connector is located within the driver’s
compartment, directly below the instrument panel on
the driver’s side.
HYDRAULIC CONTROL SYSTEM
The hydraulic controls are located in the valve body,
pump body and main case.
The valve body contains the following;
Manual valve
Three shift valves
Sequence valve
Solenoid supply pressure regulator valve
Line pressure control valve
Clutch apply feed regulator valve
Band apply feed regulator valve
Solenoid S1 to S6
Reverse lockout valveThe pump cover contains the following;
Primary regulator valve for line pressure
Converter clutch regulator valve
Converter clutch control valve
Solenoid S7
The main case contains the following;
B1R exhaust valve
All upshifts are accomplished by simultaneously
switching on a shift valve(s), switching VPS pressure
to the band and/or clutch regulator valve, and then
sending the VPS a ramped current. The shift is
completed by switching the regulators OFF and at the
same time causing the VPS to reach maximum
pressure.
All downshifts are accomplished by switching VPS pres-
sure to the band and/or clutch regulator valve and send-
ing a ramped current to the VPS. The shift is completed
by simultaneously switching the regulators OFF,
switching the shift valves and at the same time causing
the VPS to return to stand-by pressure.
The primary regulator valve is located in the pump
cover and supplies four line pressures; high and low
for forward gears, and high and low for reverse. This
pressure has no effect on shift quality and merely
provides static clutch capacity during steady state
operation. Low pressure can be obtained by activating
an ON/OFF solenoid with high line pressure being the
default mode.
Torque converter lock-up is initiated by toggling the
converter clutch control valve with an ON/OFF solenoid.
The actual apply and release of the clutch is regulated
by the VPS via the converter clutch regulator valve.
The solenoid supply pressure regulator valve provides
reference pressure for all the solenoids.

Manual Valve
The manual valve is connected to the vehicle selector
mechanism and controls the flow of oil to the forward
and reverse circuits. The manual valve function is
identical in all forward gear positions except that in
the Manual 1 position an additional supply of oil is
directed to the 1-2 shift valve for application of the
rear band and the C4 overrun clutch. The manual valve
directs the line pressure into the PRND fluid circuits.
Valve Body
1-2 Shift Valve
The 1-2 shift valve is a two position valve that must be
switched to the 2, 3 and 4 position in order to get any
forward gear other than first gear. It is used for all 1-2
and 2-1 gearshifts.
The switching of this valve is achieved by using S1
and/ or S2.
During a 1-2 gearshift drive oil from the manual valve
passes through to the second gear circuit. During a 2-
1 gearshift the band apply feed oil is allowed to exhaust
via the 1-2 shift valve.
The 1-2 shift valve works in conjunction with the 3-4
shift valve to disengage the C4 clutch in first gear,
and engage C4 in second gear. When Manual 1 is
selected the C4 clutch and rear band (B2) are engaged.2-3 Shift Valve
The 2-3 shift valve is a two position valve. It is used
on all 2-3 and 3-2 gearshifts.
The switching of this valve is achieved by S2 which is
located at the end of the valve spool.
In the 1, 2 position, second gear oil from the 1-2 shift
valve is prevented from entering the third gear circuit.
When the valve is moved to the 3, 4 position, oil from
the second gear circuit is routed to the third gear circuit
and the transmission is changed to third gear.
3-4 Shift Valve
The 3-4 shift valve is a two position valve. It is used
for all 3-4 and 4-3 gearshifts.
The switching of this valve is achieved by S1 which is
located at the end of the valve spool.
During a 3-4 gearshift the 3-4 shift valve:
Exhausts the front band release (B1R) circuit
thereby allowing the application of the front band
(B1).
Connects the inner apply area of the front servo
(B1AI) to the Band Apply Feed (BAF) circuit thus
allowing greater apply forces to the front band.
Exhausts the Overrun Clutch (OC) circuit which al-
lows the C4 clutch to disengage.
