AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (4 A/T) 7B-3
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This automatic transmission is a full automatic type with 3-speed plus overdrive (O/D).
The torque converter is a 3-element, 1-step and 2-phase type equipped with lock-up mechanism. The gear shift
device consists of 2 sets of planetary gear units, sets of 3 disc type clutches, 3sets of disc type brakes and one-
way clutch. The gear shift is done by selecting one of 6 positions (“P”, “R”, “N”, “D”, “2” and “L”) by means of the
select lever installed on the floor. On the shift knob, there is an overdrive (O/D) cut switch which allows shift-up
to the overdrive mode and shift-down from the overdrive mode.

TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (TCM)
TCM is an electronic circuit component that controls gear shift, idle-up according to the signal from each sensor.
Also it has learning control function for performing optimum control. It is a microcomputer consisting of an IC,
transistor, diode, etc. It is installed behind glove box.

FAIL SAFE FUNCTION
This function is provided by the safe mechanism that assures safe driveability even when the solenoid valve,
sensor or its circuit fails.
The table below shows the fail safe function for each fail condition of sensor, solenoid or its circuit.

selected and lock-up function is turned OFF.
When vehicle running and in no shift change, gear is fixed to
gear right before the trouble occurred and lock-up function is
turned OFF.
When vehicle is at stop after or during detecting trouble, or in
shift change by manual operation while running, gear is fixed
as the followings and lock-up function is turned OFF.
