Electronic Control Item and Control
Component Description (Electronic Control)
Control item Contents
Shift control•Detects engine load condition and vehicle speed. Shifts to the best gear
position according to the programmed automatic shift diagram.
Line pressure control•Generates line pressure matching the engine load condition and driving
conditions. Optimizes line pressure for each shift. When the ATF
temperature is low, automatically optimizes line pressure for quick clutch
engagement.
Revers inhibition control•When the shift lever is shifted to R position while the vehicle is running
forward at approx. 30 km/h{19 mph} or more, the TCM turns the neutral
shift solenoid valve on and drains the low and reverse brake hydraulic
pressure. Due to this, the transaxle shifts to neutral.
Shift transient control•Adjusts transient hydraulic pressure according to engine load and
vehicle driving conditions when shifting using the pressure control
solenoid, 2-4 brake solenoid valve, the high clutch solenoid valve, and
each accumulator control valve.

shift feel
•The lock timing for the reduction brake band is controlled by the control
of the reduction timing solenoid valve ON/OFF timing.

TRANSAXLE FLUID TEMPERATURE (TFT) SENSOR DESCRIPTIONA6E571419010201•The TFT sensor, which is installed in the transaxle case, detects the ATF temperature in the transaxle case,
and sends the control signal to the TCM. The TCM controls the driving pattern and the torque converter clutch
based on the signal from the TFT sensor.
Structure/Operation
•The TFT sensor is a thermistor type and the resistance changes according to the ATF temperature.
•The characteristic of the resistance is as shown in the figure below.
•The TFT sensor is integrated with the connector.
End Of SieINPUT/TURBINE SPEED SENSOR DESCRIPTIONA6E571421550201Function
• A input/turbine speed sensor is located in the transaxle case and detects the rotating speed of the reverse
clutch drum.
Construction/Operation
•The magnetic pickup type of input/turbine speed sensor is mounted in the transaxle case, next to the reverse
clutch drum. It generates a 36-pulse signal for each rotation of the reverse clutch drum, and sends this signal to
the TCM.

CONTROLLER AREA NETWORK (CAN) DESCRIPTIONA6E571418901201Outline
•The TCM transmits/receives information using the CAN system. See Section T for detailed information
regarding the CAN system.
Structure/Operation
•The PCM inputs throttle opening angle, engine speed, engine torque, engine coolant temperature. to the TCM.
•The TCM operates shift and TCC controls based on the throttle opening angle, and controls line pressure and
other based on the throttle opening angle and the engine torque.
•The TCM outputs reduce torque signal, range signal, turbine speed, ATF temperature signal, and TCC signal to
the PCM.
•If there is an open or short circuit in the CAN wiring, the system determines that the CAN is abnormal and
switches to fail-safe mode.

Operation
Manual mode shift
•When the selector lever is shifted over from the D to M range position, the M range switch in the selector lever
component turns on, sending a manual mode command signal to the PCM which activates the manual mode
shift control.
•When in manual mode and the selector lever is operated in the back (+) direction, the up switch in the selector
lever component is turned on and an up-shift command signal is inputted to the PCM.
—The PCM, triggered by the up-shift command signal, carries out shifting by outputting an operation signal to
the shift solenoid if the ATF temperature is not low (for 3GR only), vehicle speed is higher than the set
speed and the gear position is 3GR or lower.
•Conversely, when the selector lever is operated in the forward (-) direction, the down switch in the selector lever
component turns on, and a down-shift command signal is inputted to the PCM.
—The PCM, triggered by the down-shift command signal, carries out shifting by outputting an operation
signal to the shift solenoid if the vehicle speed is less than the set speed and the gear position is 2GR or
above.
•The PCM utilizes a specialized M range automatic shift diagram when down shifting. This restriction of manual
downshifting is carried out to reduce load on the ATX and prevent engine over-revving.

Line Pressure Control at Extremely Low Temperatures
•When the ATF temperature is approximately –30 °C {–22 °F} or below, the period when the pressure control
solenoid is ON (duty ratio) is set at 3 % to maintain line pressure at maximum regardless of the throttle opening
angle. Thus delay in clutch or brake operation due to high viscosity of ATF is prevented when the ATF
temperature is extremely low.
Pressure Control Solenoid Stop Control
•When the vehicle is stopped and the accelerator pedal is released, the operation (duty ratio) of the pressure
control solenoid is set at 3 %, regardless of the driving range. Due to this, AT noise is reduced when the vehicle
is stopped.
End Of Sie
FEEDBACK CONTROL DESCRIPTIONA6E571418901206Outline
Features
•During shift up with the accelerator pedal depressed, feedback control regulates the clutch pressure on the
engagement and release sides, according to the throttle opening angle and vehicle speed. It also uses past
gearshifts to optimize clutch pressure.
Note
•If the battery terminal is disconnected, feedback memory in the TCM will be erased, and thus gearshift
shock may increase. The shock, however, will decrease gradually as the vehicle is driven.
