AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (3 A / T) (VEHICLE WITH WU-TWC) 7B-3
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The automatic transmission consists of the hydraulic torque converter, electronically controlled 3-speed automatic
transmission, countershaft and differential.
The transmission consists of 2 planetary gears, 2 disk clutches, 1 band brake, 1 disk brake and 1 one-way clutch.
Its operation is controlled by selecting a position from 6 positions (P, R, N, D, 2 and L ranges) manually by means
of the selector lever installed on the compartment floor.
In the D or 2 range, the gear ratio is changed for the 1st, 2nd or 3rd speed (D range only) automatically by engine
control module (electronic control).
For the automatic transmission fluid, DEXRON
-E, DEXRON- or its equivalent must be used. Lubrication
in the automatic transmission is provided by the oil pump which is operated by the engine revolution. Therefore,
the engine should not be stopped even during coasting to obtain proper lubrication.
When it becomes necessary to be towed, front wheels must be raised so as not to roll them.

POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM)
The powertrain control module controls the shift solenoid B (2nd
brake solenoid valve) and the shift solenoid A (direct clutch sole-
noid valve) by sending electric signals to them so as to attain auto-
matic gear shift between the 1st and 2nd gears, and the 2nd and
3rd gears. Equipped as PCM sensed parameters are the throttle
position sensor, transmission range switch and vehicle speed sen-
sor. These switch and sensors sense the throttle valve opening, se-
lector lever’s position and vehicle speed, and send those signals to
the powertrain control module. Then, the powertrain control module
opens and closes valves of the above solenoids according to these
signals. The powertrain control module is installed to the underside
of the instrument panel at the driver’s seat side.
GEAR SHIFT CONTROL SYSTEM
THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR (TP sensor)
The throttle position sensor consisting of a potentiometer is con-
nected to the throttle valve shaft.
Throttle valve opening signal (output voltage) is transmitted from
throttle position sensor to PCM as voltage signal. PCM uses it as
one of the signals to control transmission gear shift.

OUTPUT SHAFT SPEED SENSOR (A / T VSS)
The output shaft speed sensor consists of a magnetic core with
magnet and coil. It is mounted on transmission case with 0.6 mm
(0.024 in.) air gap between the core end and countershaft gear
tooth.
While the countershaft rotates, magnetic flux is cut by gear tooth
thus a pulse is generated in the sensor coil according to the speed.
And then, the pulse is transmitted to engine control module as
speed signal.
AUTOMATIC SHIFT DIAGRAM
Automatic shift schedule as a result of shift control is shown below. In case that selector lever is shifted to L range
at a higher than 37 km / h (23 mile / h) (G10 engine model), 40 km / h (25 mile / h) (G13 engine model) speed, 2nd
gear is operated and then down shifts to 1st at a speed lower than that. No up shift is available in L range.
