Shift Control
The PCM determines which gear should be selected by various signals sent from sensors, and actuates the shift control
solenoid valves A and B to control shifting. Also. a Grade Logic Control System has been adopted to control shifting in E
anO E ('gZ - gg), and E ('99 - 00) position while the vehicle is ascending or descending a slope, or reducing speeo.

Lock-up Control
From sensor input signals, the PCM determines whether to turn the lock-up ON or OFF, and activates lock-up control
solenoid valve A and/or B accordingly. Lock-up does not occur until the engine is warm. The combination of driving sig-
nals to lock-up control solenoid valves A and B and the linear solenoid pressure is shown in the table below.

Description
Electronic Control System (cont'dl
Grade Logic Control System
How it works:
The PCM compares actual driving conditions with memorized driving conditions, based on the input from the vehicle speed
sensor, the throttle position sensor, the barometric pressure sensor ('98 model). the engine coolant temperature sensor, the
brake switch signal, and the shift lever position signal, to control shifting while the vehicle is ascending or descending a
slope, or reducing speed.
