TCM FUNCTION=NBAT0013S03The function of the TCM is to:
IReceive input signals sent from various switches and sensors.
IDetermine required line pressure, shifting point, lock-up operation, and engine brake operation.
ISend required output signals to the respective solenoids.
INPUT/OUTPUT SIGNAL OF TCMNBAT0013S04
Sensors and solenoid valves Function
InputPNP switch Detects select lever position and sends a signal to TCM.
Throttle position sensor Detects throttle valve position and sends a signal to TCM.
Closed throttle position switch Detects throttle valve's fully-closed position and sends a signal to TCM.
Wide open throttle position switchDetects 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
sensor (installed on transmission) malfunctions.
Overdrive control switchSends a signal, which prohibits a shift to ªD
4º (overdrive) position, to the
TCM.
ASCD control unitSends the cruise signal and ªD
4º (overdrive) cancellation signal from ASCD
control unit to TCM.
Turbine revolution sensor Sends an input shaft revolution signal.
Stop lamp switch Sends the lock-up release signal to the TCM at time of D
4(lock-up).
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 rela-
tion 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
signal sent from TCM.
O/D OFF indicator lamp Shows TCM faults, when A/T control components malfunction.
Control MechanismNBAT0180LINE PRESSURE CONTROLNBAT0180S01TCM has the various line pressure control characteristics to meet
the driving conditions.
An ON-OFF duty signal is sent to the line pressure solenoid valve
based on TCM characteristics.
Hydraulic pressure on the clutch and brake is electronically con-
trolled through the line pressure solenoid valve to accommodate
engine torque. This results in smooth shift operation.
