TCM FUNCTION
The function of the TCM is to:
+Receive input signals sent from various switches and sensors.
+Determine required line pressure, shifting point, lock-up operation, and engine brake operation.
+Send required output signals to the respective solenoids.
INPUT/OUTPUT SIGNAL OF TCM
Sensors and solenoid valves Function
InputPNP switch Detects select lever position and sends a signal to TCM.
Accelerator position sensor Detects throttle valve position and sends a signal to TCM.
Accelerator position switch
(Off accel)Detects throttle valve's fully-closed position and sends a signal to TCM.
Accelerator position switch
(Full accel)Detects a throttle valve position of greater than 1/2 of full throttle and sends a
signal to TCM.
Engine speed signal From ECM.
A/T fluid temperature sensor Detects transmission fluid temperature and sends a signal to TCM.
Revolution sensor Detects output shaft rpm and sends a signal to TCM.
Vehicle speed sensorUsed as an auxiliary vehicle speed sensor. Sends a signal when revolution sen-
sor (installed on transmission) malfunctions.
Overdrive control switch
A/T mode switchSends a signal, which prohibits a shift to ªD
4º (overdrive) position, to the TCM.
OutputShift solenoid valve A/BSelects shifting point suited to driving conditions in relation to a signal sent from
TCM.
Line pressure solenoid valveRegulates (or decreases) line pressure suited to driving conditions in relation to
a signal sent from TCM.
Torque converter clutch solenoid valveRegulates (or decreases) lock-up pressure suited to driving conditions in relation
to a signal sent from TCM.
Overrun clutch solenoid valveControls an ªengine brakeº effect suited to driving conditions in relation to a sig-
nal sent from TCM.
O/D OFF indicator lamp
SPORT indicator lampShows TCM faults, when A/T control components malfunction.

Self-diagnosis
After performing this procedure, place check marks for results on
the ªDIAGNOSTIC WORKSHEETº, AT-1038. Reference pages
are provided following the items.
SELF-DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE (With
CONSULT-II)
1. Turn on CONSULT-II and touch ªA/Tº.
If A/T is not displayed, check TCM power supply and ground
circuit. Refer to AT-1060. If result is NG, refer to EL section
(ªPOWER SUPPLY ROUTINGº).
2. Touch ªSELF-DIAG RESULTSº.
Display shows malfunction experienced since the last eras-
ing operation.
CONSULT-II performs REAL-TIME SELF-DIAGNOSIS.
Also, any malfunction detected while in this mode will be
displayed at real time.

Diagnosis by CONSULT-II
NOTICE
1.The CONSULT-II electrically displays shift timing and lock-up timing (that is, operation timing of each
solenoid).
Check for time difference between actual shift timing and the CONSULT-II display. If the difference is
noticeable, mechanical parts (except solenoids, sensors, etc.) may be malfunctioning. Check mechanical
parts using applicable diagnostic procedures.
2. Shift schedule (which implies gear position) displayed on CONSULT-II and that indicated in Service
Manual may differ slightly. This occurs because of the following reasons:
+Actual shift schedule has more or less tolerance or allowance,
+Shift schedule indicated in Service Manual refers to the point where shifts start. Gear position dis-
played on CONSULT-II indicates the point where shifts are completed.
3. Shift solenoid valve ªAº or ªBº is displayed on CONSULT-II at the start of shifting. Gear position is dis-
played upon completion of shifting (which is computed by TCM).
4. Additional CONSULT-II information can be found in the Operation Manual supplied with the CONSULT-II
unit.
