OVERALL SYSTEM
l*1: Operates when overdrive control switch is set in “OFF” position.
l*2: Oil pressure is applied to both 2nd “apply” side and 3rd “release” side of band servo piston. However, brake band does not con-
tract because oil pressure area on the “release” side is greater than that on the “apply” side.
l*3: Oil pressure is applied to 4th “apply” side in condition *2 above, and brake band contracts.
l*4: A/T will not shift to 4th when overdrive control switch is set in “OFF” position.
l*5: Operates when overdrive control switch is “OFF”.
l:Operates.
lA: Operates when throttle opening is less than 3/16, activating engine brake.
lB: Operates during “progressive” acceleration.
lC: Operates but does not affect power transmission.
lD: Operates when throttle opening is less than 3/16, but does not affect engine brake.

lHigh clutch
lBrake band
lForward clutch(Does not affect power
transmission)Input power is transmitted to front carrier through high clutch.
This front carrier turns around the sun gear which is fixed by brake band and makes
front internal gear (output) turn faster.
Engine brakeAt D
4position, there is no one-way clutch in the power transmission line and engine
brake can be obtained when decelerating.

lReverse clutch
lLow and reverse brakeFront planetary carrier is stationary because of the operation of low and reverse brake.
Input power is transmitted to front sun gear through reverse clutch, which drives front
internal gear in the opposite direction.
Engine brakeAs there is no one-way clutch in the power transmission line, engine brake can be
obtained when decelerating.

TCM FUNCTION
ThefunctionoftheTCMisto:
lReceive input signals sent from various switches and sensors.
lDetermine required line pressure, shifting point, lock-up operation, and engine brake operation.
lSend required output signals to the respective solenoids.
INPUT/OUTPUT SIGNAL OF TCM
SCIA0690E
Sensors, switches and solenoid
valvesFunction
InputPNP switch Detects select lever position and sends a signal to TCM.
Throttle position sensor (accelerator
pedal position(app) sensorDetects throttle valve position 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 switch*1Sends a signal, which prohibits a shift to “D
4” (overdrive) position, to the
TCM.
Stop lamp switch Releases lock-up system when depressing pedal in lock-up condition.

OVERALL SYSTEM
At Low Fluid Temperature
lFluid viscosity and frictional characteristics of the clutch facing change with fluid temperature. Clutch
engaging or band-contacting pressure is compensated for, according to fluid temperature, to stabilize
shifting quality.
lThe line pressure is reduced below 60°C(140°F) to prevent
shifting shock due to low viscosity of automatic transmission
fluid when temperature is low.
lLine pressure is increased to a maximum irrespective of the
throttle opening when 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 fluid viscosity at low
temperature.
SHIFT CONTROL
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 throttle position sen-
sor. 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 throttle position sensor and revolution sensor to select
the optimum gear position on the basis of the shift schedule memo-
rizedintheTCM.
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.
