AUTOMATIC GEARBOX - ZF4HP22 - 24
44-4 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Description
General
The automatic gearbox is a four speed unit with electronic control of gear selection, shift quality and torque converter
lock-up. Selections on the selector lever assembly are transmitted to the gearbox by a selector cable. A gear position
switch on the gearbox transmits the gear selection to an Electronic Automatic Transmission (EAT) ECU, which
outputs the appropriate control signals to an electro-hydraulic valve block in the gearbox. A mode switch enables the
driver to change the control mode of the EAT ECU. The EAT ECU operates warning lamps in the instrument pack to
indicate the control mode and system status.
The gearbox features a pressure lubrication system and is cooled by pumping the lubricant through an oil cooler.
On NAS market vehicles from 03 model year, the ZF 4HP24 transmission unit is introduced for use with the 4.6 litre
V8 engine. This transmission is required to accomodate the increased power output of the larger engine. The ZF
4HP22 transmission remains in use on vehicles with Td5 and 4.0 litre V8 engines.
Both transmission units are of similar construction, with the ZF 4HP24 unit being 15 mm longer than the 4HP22 unit
to accomodate a larger fluid pump. The operation of both transmission units is the same.

5Temperature sensor
Transmission fluid from the gearbox is circulated through a cooler attached to the front of the radiator. Quick release
connectors on the transmission fluid lines attach to connections on each end tank of the cooler. A temperature sensor
on the RH end tank provides the instrument pack with an input of transmission fluid temperature. If the temperature
exceeds a preset limit, the instrument pack illuminates the transmission temperature warning lamp. The warning lamp
remains illuminated until the temperature of the fluid returns within limits.
EAT ECU
The EAT ECU operates the solenoid valves in the gearbox to provide automatic control of gear shifts and torque
converter lock-up. The EAT ECU is attached to a protective bracket which is secured to the cabin floor below the LH
front seat. A 55 pin connector links the EAT ECU to the vehicle wiring.
Software in the EAT ECU monitors hard wired inputs and exchanges information with the ECM on a Controller Area
Network (CAN) bus to determine gear shift and torque converter lock-up requirements. Resultant control signals are
then output to the gearbox solenoid valves.

Operation
Refer to illustration.

+ AUTOMATIC GEARBOX - ZF4HP22 - 24, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Control schematic.
When the ignition is switched on, a bulb check is performed on the transmission temperature warning lamp and the
mode warning lamps by the instrument pack and the EAT ECU respectively. The warning lamps are illuminated for
approximately 3 seconds and then extinguished.
The gear position switch outputs are monitored by the BCU and the EAT ECU. The BCU outputs gear position signals
to illuminate the position indicators each side of the gear selector lever and on the odometer LCD in the instrument
pack.
In D, 3, 2, and 1, the EAT ECU outputs control signals to the gearbox to select the required gear.
In D, all forward gears are available for selection by the EAT ECU. In 3, 2 and 1, a corresponding limit is imposed on
the highest gear available for selection. When R is selected, reverse gear only engages if the vehicle is stationary or
moving at 5 mph (8 km/h) or less. When R is deselected, reverse gear only disengages if the vehicle is moving at 4
mph (6 km/h) or less.
Selector lever interlock (where fitted)
The interlock solenoid on the selector lever is de-energised unless the foot brake is applied while the ignition is on.
While de-energised, the interlock solenoid allows the selector lever to move through the range unless P is selected.
On entering the P position, the interlock solenoid engages a latch which locks the selector lever. When the ignition is
on and the foot brake is applied, the BCU energises the interlock solenoid, which disengages the latch and allows the
selector lever to be moved out of P.
Economy, sport and manual modes
During the power-up procedure after the ignition is switched on, the EAT ECU defaults to an economy mode. Pressing
the mode switch causes the EAT ECU to change between the economy mode and the sport or the manual mode,
depending on the range selected on the transfer box:
lIf the transfer box is in high range, the EAT ECU changes to the sport mode and illuminates the sport mode
warning lamp in the instrument pack. In the sport mode the gearbox is more responsive to accelerator pedal
movement. Downshifts occur earlier and upshifts occur later.
lIf the transfer box is in low range, the EAT ECU changes to the manual mode and illuminates the manual mode
warning lamp in the instrument pack. Kickdown is disabled and the EAT ECU maintains the gearbox in the gear
selected on the selector lever (D = 4th gear) to give improved off road performance. Downshifts occur only to
prevent the engine stalling. From a standing start, the vehicle pulls away in 1st gear and, if a higher gear is
selected, upshifts almost immediately to the selected gear (shifts of more than one gear can occur).
After a second press of the mode switch the EAT ECU reverts to the economy mode, for the range selected on the
transfer box, and extinguishes the related mode warning lamp in the instrument pack.
Shift control
To provide the different driving characteristics for each mode of operation, the EAT ECU incorporates different shift
maps of throttle position/engine speed. Base shift points are derived from the appropriate shift map. When a shift is
required, the EAT ECU sends a request to the ECM for a reduction in engine torque, in order to produce a smoother
shift. The percentage of torque reduction requested varies according to the operating conditions at the time of the
request. When the EAT ECU receives confirmation of the torque reduction from the ECM, it then signals the shift
solenoid valves in the gearbox to produce the shift. To further improve shift quality, the EAT ECU also signals the
pressure regulating solenoid valve to modulate the hydraulic pressure and so control the rate of engagement and
disengagement of the brake clutches.

AUTOMATIC GEARBOX - ZF4HP22 - 24
44-18 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
With time, the components in a gearbox wear and the duration of the gear shifts tends to increase, which has an
adverse effect on the brake clutches. To counteract this, the EAT ECU applies a pressure adaptation to each shift.
To calculate the adaptations, the EAT ECU monitors the pressure modulation used, and time taken, for each shift. If
a subsequent shift of the same type, in terms of throttle position and engine speed, has a longer duration, the EAT
ECU stores an adaptation for that type of shift in a volatile memory. The adaptation is then included in future pressure
calculations for that type of shift, to restore shift duration to the nominal.
Kickdown
The EAT ECU monitors the input of the throttle position sensor to determine when kickdown is required. When it
detects a kickdown situation, the EAT ECU immediately initiates a down shift provided the target gear will not cause
the engine speed limit to be exceeded.
Torque converter lock-up
The EAT ECU energises the lock-up solenoid valve to engage the lock-up clutch. Lock-up clutch operation is
dependent on throttle position, engine speed, operating mode and the range selected on the transfer box.
High range
Unique lock-up maps, similar to the shift maps, are incorporated in the economy and sport modes for all forward gears.
Engagement and disengagement of the lock-up clutch is dependent on throttle position and engine speed.
Low range
To enhance off road control, particularly when manoeuvring at low speeds, torque converter lock-up does not occur
when there is any degree of throttle opening. When the throttle is closed above a preset engine speed, the lock-up
clutch engages to provide maximum engine braking.
Increased load/reduced torque compensation
To aid performance and driveability in the high range economy mode, the EAT ECU has three adaptive shift and lock-
up maps. These maps delay upshifts and torque converter lock-up similar to the sport mode if the inputs from the
engine indicate:
lA sustained high load on the engine, such as occurs when the vehicle is ascending a steep gradient or towing a
trailer.
lA lower than normal engine torque, such as occurs at altitude or high ambient temperatures.
The EAT ECU monitors the engine inputs and selects the most appropriate adaptive map for the prevailing conditions.
Diagnostics
While the ignition is on, the EAT ECU diagnoses the system for faults. The extent of the diagnostic capability at any
particular time depends on the prevailing operating conditions, e.g. it is not possible to check torque converter lock-
up while the vehicle is stationary, or to check for a short circuit to earth if the circuit concerned is already at a low
potential.
If a fault is detected, the EAT ECU immediately stores a fault code and the values of three operating parameters
associated with the fault. Depending on the fault, there are four possible effects:
lThe fault has little effect on gearbox operation or vehicle emissions. The driver will probably not notice any
change and the warning lamps remain extinguished.
lThe fault has little effect on gearbox operation but may effect vehicle emissions. On NAS vehicles, if the fault is
detected on a second consecutive drive cycle, the MIL illuminates.
lAll gears are available but kickdown does not function. The sport and manual warning lamps flash. The MIL
remains extinguished.
lLimp home mode is selected and vehicle performance is greatly reduced. The sport and manual warning lamps
flash. In all markets, if the fault is detected on a second consecutive drive cycle, the MIL illuminates.
