Ascending Control {37 Modol}
When the PCM determines that the vehicle is climbing a hill in E] and E positions, the system extends the engagement
area of 2nd g€ar and 3rd gear to prevent the transmission from frequently shifting between 2nd and 3rd gears, and
between 3rd and 4th gears, so the vehicle can run smooth and have more power when needed.
NOTE:
. Shift schedules stored in ths PCM between 2nd and 3rd gears, and between 3rd and 4th gears. enable the PCM's fuzzy
logic to automatically select the most suitable gear according to the magnitude of 8 gradient.
t Fuzzy logic is a form of artificial intslligence that lets computers respond to changing conditions much like a human
mind would.

Electronic Control System (cont'd)
Descending Control
When the PCM determines that the vehicle is going down a hill in E and @ positions ('97 - 98 models). and in @ posi-
tion {'99 - 00 models), the shitt-up speed from 3rd to 4th gear and from 2nd to 3rd (when the throttle is closed) becomes
faster than the set speed for flat road driving to widen the 3rd gear and 2nd gear driving areas. This, in combination with
engine braking from the deceleration lock-up, achieves smooth driving when the vehicle is descending. There are three
descending modes with different 3rd gear driving areas and 2nd gear driving areas according to the magnitude of a gradi-
ent stored in the PCM. When the vehicle is in 4th gear, and you are decelerating when you are applying the brakes on a
steep hill, the transmission will downshift to 3rd gear, When you accelerate, the transmission will then return to higher
gear.

Deceleration Control
When the vehicle goes around a corner, and needs to decelerate first and then accelerate, the PCM sets the data for deceleration
control to reduce the number of times the transmission shifts. When the vehicle is decelerating from speeds above 27 mph(4i| km,ih), the PCM shifts the transmission from 4th to 2nd earlier than normal to cope with upcoming acceleration,

Description
Hydraulic Control
The hydraulic control system is controlled by the ATF pump, valves, accumulators, and electronically controlled solenoids.
The ATF pump is driven by splines on the end of the torque converter which is aftached to the engine. Fluid from the ATF
pump flows through the regulator valve to maintain specified pressure, through the main valve body, to the manual valve,
directing pressure to each clutch. The valve body includes the main valve body, the regulator valve body, the lock-up
valve body, the secondary valve body, the servo body, the linear solenoid, the shift control solenoid valve Ay'B assembly,
and the lock-up control solenoid valve A/B assembly. The shift control solenoid valve A,/B assembly and the linear
solenoid are bolted on the outside of the transmission housing. The lock-up control solenoid valve A,/B assembly is bolted
on the outside of the torque converter housing.

Description
Hydraulic Flow (cont'dl
lll Position
As the engine turns, the ATF pump starts to operate. Automatic transmission fluid (ATF) is drawn from (99) and dis-charged into (1). Then, ATF flowing from the ATF pump becomes line pressure ('l). Line pressure (1) js regulated by theregulator valve. Torque converter inlet pressure {92) enters (94) of the torque conveTter through the lock-up shift valve anddischarges into (90) The torque converter check valve prevents torque converter pressure from rising. Under this condi-tion, hydraulic pressure is not applied to the clutches.
NOTE;
. When used. "|eft" o. "right" indicates direction on the hvdraulic circutt.. The hydraulic circuit shows the '97 - 98 models {7 positions}; the '99 - 00 models (6 positions) is similar.
