A/T CONTROL SYSTEM

TCM FunctionBCS000ZP
The function of the TCM is to:

Receive input signals sent from various switches and sensors.

Determine required line pressure, shifting point, lock-up operation, and engine brake operation.

Send required output signals to the respective solenoids.
CONTROL SYSTEM OUTLINE
The automatic transmission senses vehicle operating conditions through various sensors or signals. It always
controls the optimum shift position and reduces shifting and lock-up shocks.

A/T CONTROL SYSTEM

Line Pressure ControlBCS000ZS

TCM has various line pressure control characteristics to match 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 controlled through the line pressure solenoid
valve to accommodate engine torque. This results in smooth shift operation.
NORMAL CONTROL
The characteristics of line pressure to throttle opening.
BACK-UP CONTROL (ENGINE BRAKE)
If the selector lever is shifted to “2” position while driving in D4 , D3
or 33 , great driving force is applied to the clutch inside the transmis-
sion. Clutch operating pressure (line pressure) must be increased to
deal with this driving force.
DURING SHIFT CHANGE
The line pressure is temporarily reduced corresponding to a change
in engine torque when shifting gears (that is, when the shift solenoid
valve is switched for clutch operation) to reduce shifting shock.

AT LOW FLUID TEMPERATURE

A/T fluid viscosity and frictional characteristics of the clutch facing change with A/T fluid temperature.
Clutch engaging or band-contacting pressure is compensated for, according to A/T fluid temperature, to
stabilize shifting quality.

The line pressure is reduced below 60°C (140°F) to prevent
shifting shock due to low viscosity of A/T fluid when temperature
is low.

Line pressure is increased to a maximum irrespective of the
throttle opening when A/T fluid temperature drops to −10°C
(14°F). This pressure rise is adopted to prevent a delay in clutch
and brake operation due to extreme drop of A/T fluid viscosity at
low temperature.
Shift ControlBCS000ZT
The shift is regulated entirely by electronic control to accommodate vehicle speed and varying engine opera-
tions. This is accomplished by electrical signals transmitted by the revolution sensor and the ECM (accelerator
pedal position sensor). This results in improved acceleration performance and fuel economy.
CONTROL OF SHIFT SOLENOID VALVES A AND B
The TCM activates shift solenoid valves A and B according to sig-
nals from the accelerator pedal position sensor and revolution sen-
sor to select the optimum gear position on the basis of the shift
schedule memorized in the TCM.
The shift solenoid valve performs simple ON-OFF operation. When
set to “ON”, the drain circuit closes and pilot pressure is applied to
the shift valve.

Lock-up Released
In the lock-up released state, the torque converter clutch control valve is set into the unlocked state by drain-
ing the torque converter clutch piston applying pressure and the torque converter clutch piston release pres-
sure is generated.
In this way, the torque converter clutch piston is not coupled.
Lock-up Applied
In the lock-up applied state, the torque converter clutch control valve is set into the locked state by generating
the torque converter clutch piston applying pressure and the torque converter clutch piston release pressure is
drained.
In this way, the torque converter clutch piston is pressed and coupled.
SMOOTH LOCK-UP CONTROL
When shifting from the lock-up released state to the lock-up applied state, the current output to the torque con-
verter clutch solenoid is controlled with the TCM. In this way, when shifting to the lock-up applied state, the
torque converter clutch is temporarily set to the half-clutched state to reduce the shock.
Half-clutched State
The current output from the TCM to the torque converter clutch solenoid is varied to steadily increase the
torque converter clutch solenoid pressure.
In this way, the lock-up applying pressure gradually rises and while the torque converter clutch piston is put
into half-clutched status, the torque converter clutch piston applying pressure is increased and the coupling is
completed smoothly.
Engine Brake Control (Overrun Clutch Control)BCS000ZV
Forward one-way clutch is used to reduce shifting shocks in downshifting operations. This clutch transmits
engine torque to the wheels. However, drive force from the wheels is not transmitted to the engine because
the one-way clutch rotates idle. This means the engine brake is not effective.
The overrun clutch operates when the engine brake is needed.

Control ValveBCS000ZW
FUNCTION OF CONTROL VALVES
Valve name Function
Pressure regulator valve, plug and sleeve
plugRegulates oil discharged from the oil pump to provide optimum line pressure for all driv-
ing conditions.
Pressure modifier valve and sleeve Used as a signal supplementary valve to the pressure regulator valve. Regulates pres-
sure-modifier pressure (signal pressure) which controls optimum line pressure for all
driving conditions.
Pilot valve Regulates line pressure to maintain a constant pilot pressure level which controls lock-up
mechanism, overrun clutch, shift timing.
Accumulator control valve Regulates accumulator back-pressure to pressure suited to driving conditions.
Manual valve Directs line pressure to oil circuits corresponding to select positions.
Hydraulic pressure drains when the shift lever is in Neutral.
Shift valve A Simultaneously switches three oil circuits using output pressure of shift solenoid valve A
to meet driving conditions (vehicle speed, throttle opening, etc.).
Provides automatic downshifting and upshifting (1st → 2nd → 3rd → 4th gears/4th →
3rd → 2nd → 1st gears) in combination with shift valve B.
Shift valve B Simultaneously switches two oil circuits using output pressure of shift solenoid valve B in
relation to driving conditions (vehicle speed, throttle opening, etc.).
Provides automatic downshifting and upshifting (1st → 2nd → 3rd → 4th gears/4th →
3rd → 2nd → 1st gears) in combination with shift valve A.
Overrun clutch control valve Switches hydraulic circuits to prevent engagement of the overrun clutch simultaneously
with application of the brake band in D
4 . (Interlocking occurs if the overrun clutch
engages during D
4 .)
1st reducing valve Reduces low & reverse brake pressure to dampen engine-brake shock when downshift-
ing from the 1st position 1
2 to 11 .
Overrun clutch reducing valve Reduces oil pressure directed to the overrun clutch and prevents engine-brake shock.
In the 1st and 2nd positions, line pressure acts on the overrun clutch reducing valve to
increase the pressure-regulating point, with resultant engine brake capability.
Torque converter relief valve Prevents an excessive rise in torque converter pressure.
Torque converter clutch control valve, plug
and sleeveActivates or inactivates the lock-up function.
Also provides smooth lock-up through transient application and release of the lock-up
system.
1-2 accumulator valve and piston Lessens the shock find when the 2nd gear band servo contracts, and provides smooth
shifting.
3-2 timing valve Switches the pace that oil pressure is released depending on vehicle speed; maximizes
the high clutch release timing, and allows for soft downshifting.
Shuttle valve Determines if the overrun clutch solenoid valve should control the 3-2 timing valve or the
overrun clutch control valve and switches between the two.
Cooler check valve At low speeds and with a small load when a little heat is generated, saves the volume of
cooler flow, and stores the oil pressure for lock-up.
