7B-8 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (3 A / T) (VEHICLE WITH WU-TWC)
TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR (SHIFT SWITCH)
Being linked with the selector lever, this sensor changes selector
lever positions into electric signals and send them to the engine
control module. The contact points of this sensor for P and N ranges
are also connected with the starting motor circuit.
So when the selector lever is shifted to the P or N range position,
the contact points for P or N range are connected and cause the
starting motor to operate by turning the starter switch ON.
When the selector lever is in any other position than P and N
ranges, the sensor remains OFF and therefore the starting motor
cannot be operated, that is, the engine cannot be started.
Also, as its contact point for R range is connected with the backup
lamp circuit, only when the selector lever is shifted to R range, the
contact point contacts to light the backup lamp.
DIRECT CLUTCH AND 2ND BRAKE SOLENOID
VALVES
These solenoid valves are mounted on the valve body. They are
turned ON and OFF by the signals from the engine control module
and actuate each shift valve (1 – 2 and 2 – 3 valves) so as to control
transmission gear shift.
Shift solenoid-B (2nd brake solenoid valve) operates 1 – 2 shift
valve, and shift solenoid-A (direct clutch solenoid valve) does 2 –
3 shift valve.
