Description
Power Flow (cont'dl
E position
1. Hydraulic pressure is switched by the manual valve to the servo valve, which movss the reverse shift fork to the
reverse position, The reverse shift fork engages with the reverse selector, the reverse selector hub, and the counter-
shaft reverse gear.
2. Hydraulic pressure is also applied to the 4th clutch. Power is transmitted from the mainshaft reverse gear via the
reverse idler gear to the countershaft reverse gear.
3. Rotational direction ofthe countershaft reverse gear ischanged viathe reverse idlergear.
4. Power is transmitted to the final drivegear,which drivesthefinal d riven gear a nd the transfer shaft drive gesr (4WD).
5. The transfer shaft drive gear drives the transfer shaft and the transfer driven gear shaft (4WD).
NOTE: The illustration shows the 4WD automatic.transmission; power flow of the 2wD automatic transmission is identical
to the 4WD except for parts related to the transfer assembly.

Electronic Control System
The electronic control svstem consists of a Powertrain Control Module (PCM), sensors, a linear solenoid, and four solenoid
valves. Shifting and lock-up are electronically controlled for comfortable driving under all conditions. The PCM is located
below the dashboard, under the kick panel on the passenger's side.

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.

When the PCM determines that the vohicle is climbing a hill in E] and E positions ('98 model), and in E] position ('99 -
00 models), the system extends the engagement srea of 2nd gear and 3rd gear to prevent the transmission from frequent-
ly 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 schedulss stored in the PCM between 2nd and 3rd gears, and between 3rd and 4th gears, enable to selsct the
most suitable gear according to th6 magnitude of a gradi€nt.

Line pressure {1) flows to the manual valve and the modulator valve. Line pressure (1} changes to line pressure (4) at themanual valve, and changes to modulator pressure at the modulator valve. But modulator pressure {6} does not flow toeach shift valve because shift control solenoid valves A and B are turned ON by the PCM. Line pressure (4) passes throughthe CPB valve and the CPC valve, and changes to line pressure (5), then flows to the 'l-2 shift valve. Line pressure (5) fromthe 1-2 shift valve changes to 2nd clutch pressure (20) at the 2-3 shift valve. The 2nd clutch pressure (20) is applied to the2nd clutch, and the 2nd clutch is engaged, Line pressure (4) passes through the 1-2 shift valve and the orifice, and changesto lst clutch pressure. The 1st clutch pressure {10) also flows to the 1st clutch. However, no power is transmitted becauseof the one-way clutch.

and the modulator valve. Line pressure changes to modulator pressure (6) at the modulator valve and to line pressure
{4) at the manual valve. Modulator pressure (6) flows to the left end of the 1-2 shift valve and the 3-4 shift valve
because shift control solenoid valve A is turned oFF and B is turned oN by the PcM. The 1-2 shift valve is moved to
the right side. Line pressure {4) changes to 'lst clutch pressure (10} at the 1-2 shift valve and the orifice The 1st clutch

2nd Gsar
As the speed of the vehicle reaches the prescribed value. shift control solenoid valve A is turned ON by the pCM.Modulator pressure (6A) in the left end of the 1-2 shift valve is released by turning shift control solenoid valve A ON.The 1-2 shift valve is moved to the left side and uncovers the port to allow line pressure (5) to the 2-3 shift vatve. Linepressure (5) changes to 2nd clutch pressure (20) at the 2-3 shift valve, The 2nd clutch pressure {20) is appli€d to the2nd clutch. and the 2nd clutch is engaged.
Fluid flows by way of:- Line Pressure (4) + CPB Valve - Line Pressure (5) * 1-2 Shift Valve - Line pressure (S) * 2-3 Shift Valve- 2nd Clutch Pressure (20) - 2nd Clutch
The hydraulic pressure also flows to the lst clutch. However, no power is transmitted because of the one-wav ctutch.

3. 3rd Gear
As the speed of the vehicle reaches the prescribed value. shift control solenoid valve B is turned OFF by the PCM.
Shift control solenoid valve A remains ON. Modulator pressure (6) flows to the right end of the 1-2 shift valve and the
left end of the 2-3 shift valve. The 2-3 shift valve is moved to the right side by modulator pressure (68) The 2-3 shift
valve covers the port to stop line prsssure (5) to the 2nd clutch. and uncovers the 3-4 shift valve as the 2-3 shift valve
is moved to the right side, Line pressure (5) becomes 3rd clutch pressure (30) at the 3-4 shift valve. The 3rd clutch
pressure (30) is applied to the 3rd clutch, and the 3rd clutch is engaged.
Fluid flows by way of:- Line pressure (4) - CPB Valve - Line Pressure (5) * 1-2 Shift Vaiv€ - Line Pressure (5) * 2-3 Shift Valve
