Solenoid Valve Symbols (On/off Solenoids)
The solenoid symbol shown adjacent to each solenoid on the
hydraulic system schematics indicates the state of the oil flow
through the solenoid valve with the power On or 0ff. Refer to
figure 3.6 for the On/off operational details of NO solenoidvalves. Normally Open (NO) Solenoid POWER ON
Line 500 port is closed. The output port is open to exhaust at the solenoid valve. POWER OFF
The exhaust port is closed. The output port is open to line 500,Figure 3.6- Normally Open (NO) Symbols
Variable Pressure Solenoid Multiplexing System
Friction element shifting pressures are controlled by the variable pressure solenoid (VPS).
Line pressure is completely independent of shift pressure and is a function of throttle position, gear state and enginespeed.
S5 is a proportional or variable pressure solenoid that provides the signal pressure to the clutch and band regulator
valves thereby controlling shift pressures.
VPS pressure is multiplexed to the clutch regulator valve, the band regulator valve and the converter clutch regulator
valve during automatic gearshifts.
A variable pressure solenoid produces a hydraulic pressure inversely proportional to the current applied. During a
gearshift the TCU applies a progressively increasing or decreasing (ramped) current to the solenoid. Current applied will vary between a minimum of 200 mA and a maximum of 1000 mA, Increasing current decreases output (55)
pressure. Decreasing current increases output (55) pressure.
Line 500 pressure, (approximately 440 to 560 kPa), is the reference pressure for the VPS, and the VPS outputpressure is always below line 500 pressure.
When the VPS is at standby, that is no gearshift is taking place, the VPS current is set to 200 mA giving maximum output pressure.
Under steady state conditions the band and clutch regulator valve solenoids are switched off. This applies full Line
500 pressure to the plunger and because Line 500 pressure is always greater than S5 pressure it squeezes the S5
oil out between the regulator valve and the plunger. The friction elements are then fed oil pressure equal to Line 500multiplied by the amplification ratio.
When a shift is initiated the required On/off solenoid is switched on cutting the supply of Line 500 to the plunger.
At the same time the VPS pressure is reduced to the ramp start value and assumes control of the regulator valve by
pushing the plunger away from the valve. The VPS then carries out the required pressure ramp and the timed shift is
completed by switching Off the On/off solenoid and returning the VPS to the standby pressure.
This system enables either the band or clutch or both to be electrically controlled for each gearshift. Mode Indicator Light
Depending on the application, the mode indicator light may be used to indicate the mode that has been selected or
if an overheat condition exists. The mode indicator light is usually located on the instrument cluster. Communication Systems CAN
The controller area network (CAN) connects various control modules by using a twisted pair of wires, to share
common information. This results in a reduction of sensors and wiring. Typical applications include using the engine
controller to obtain the actual engine speed and throttle position, and adding these to the network. The ABS controller
(if fitted) can be used to obtain the road speed signal. This information is then available to the TCU without anyadditional sensors.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION 5A-31
K-Line
The K-line is typically used for obtaining diagnostic information from the TCU. A computer with a special interface is
connected to the TCU and all current faults, stored faults, runtime parameters are then available. The stored faultcodes can also be cleared.
The K-line can be used for vehicle coding at the manufacturer’ s plant or in the workshop. This allows for one TCU
design to be used over different vehicle models. The particular code is sent to the microprocessor via the K line and
this results in the software selecting the correct shift and VPS ramp parameters. HYDRAULIC CONTROL SYSTEM
The hydraulic controls are located in the valve body, pump body and main case.The valve body contains the following:
Manual valve,
Three shift valves,
Sequence valve,
solenoid supply pressure regulator valve,
line pressure control valve,
clutch apply regulator valve,
band apply regulator valve,
S1 to S6, and
Reverse lockout valve.
The pump body contains the following:
Primary regulator valve for line pressure,
converter clutch regulator valve,
converter clutch control valve,
S7,and
C1 bias valve.
The main case contains the following:
B1R exhaust valve
The hydraulic control system schematic is shown at figure 3.7.
All upshifts are accomplished by simultaneously switching on a shift valve(s), switching VPS pressure to the band
and/or clutch regulator valve, and then sending the VPS a ramped current. The shift is completed by switching the
regulators off and at the same time causing the VPS to reach maximum . pressure. All downshifts are accomplished
by switching VPS pressure to the band and/or clutch regulator valve and sending a ramped current to the VPS. The
shift is completed by simultaneously switching the regulators off, switching the shift valves and at the same timecausing the VPS to return to stand-by pressure.
The primary regulator valve is located in the pump cover and supplies four line pressures; high and low for forward
gears, and high and low for reverse. This pressure has no effect on shift quality and merely provides static clutch
capacity during steady state operation. Low pressure can be obtained by activating an On/off solenoid with high line pressure being the default mode.
Torque converter lock-up is initiated by toggling the converter clutch control valve with an On/off solenoid. The actual apply and release of the clutch is regulated by the VPS via the converter clutch regulator valve. As an additionalsafety feature, the lock-up is hydraulically disabled in first and second gear by the bias valve which only supplies oilto the lock-up solenoid when C1 is applied in third and fourth gears. This prevents the vehicle from being renderedimmobile in the unlikely event of S7 becoming stuck.
The solenoid supply valve provides reference pressure for all the solenoids.

4-3 Sequence Valve
The 4-3 sequence valve (refer figure 3.14) is a two position spring loaded valve. It switches during 3-4 and 4-3
gearshifts although it performs no function during the 3-4 shift.
During the 4-3 shift the 4-3 sequence valve delays the connection of the clutch apply feed circuit (CAF) to the BIR
circuit until the BIR circuit has been fully pressurised by using the third gear circuit. This prevents objectionable
engine flare on completion of the 4-3 gearshift.
Figure 3.14 - 4-3 Sequence Valve
Figure 3.15 - Solenoid Supply Pressure Regulator Valve and Line Pressure Control Valve
Solenoid Supply Pressure Regulator Valve
The solenoid supply valve (refer figure 3.15) supplies a constant pressure to all solenoids (51 to 57). Line pressure
is used as the feed oil to this regulator and the output is termed line 500.
Line Pressure Boost Valve
Line pressure is controlled by 56, which acts as the line pressure boost valve (refer figure 3.15). When 56 pressure
is applied to the end of the PRV it is opposed by spring force and causes LOW line pressure for light throttleapplication and cruising.
Heavy throttle application causes the normally open 56 to open (switch Off) thus closing line 500 and opening 56 to
exhaust. Removal of 56 pressure from the PRV results in HIGH line pressure.

5A-38 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
Reverse Lockout Valve
The reverse lockout valve (refer figure 3.18) is a two position valve contained in the upper valve body. This valve
uses 51-52 pressure as a signal pressure and controls the application of the rear band (B2).
While the manual valve is in D,3,2, or 1 positions, drive oil is applied to the spring end of the valve, overriding any
signal pressures and holding the valve in the lockout position. This prevents the application of B2 in any of theforward driving gears.
When the manual valve is in P, R or N positions, drive oil is exhausted and the reverse lockout valve may be toggled by S1-S2 pressure.B2 is applied in P, R, and N provided that the following conditions are satisfied:
1. In P or N, roadspeed 3 km/h.
2. In R, road speed 10 km/h.
3. Engine speed 1400 rpm.
4. For diesel vehicles, throttle 25%.
5. For gasoline vehicles, throttle 12%.
Under these conditions, the TCU switches solenoids S1 and S2 to Off. The reverse lockout valve toggles under the
influence of the S1-S2 pressure, to connect the line pressure to the B2 feed. Oil is fed to both the inner and outer
apply areas of the rear servo piston, applying B2.
If any of the above conditions are not satisfied, the TCU switches solenoids S1 and S2 to On. S1- S2 pressure is
exhausted and the valve is held in the lockout position by the spring. In this position, engagement of B2 is prohibited.
This feature protects the transmission from abuse by preventing the undesirable application of B2 at high speed, and
by providing a reverse lockout function.
Note that if the transmission is in failure mode, the rear band will be applied at all times in P, R and N.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION 5A-39
Primary Regulator Valve
The primary regulator valve (PRV) (refer to figure 3.19) regulates the transmission line pressure (or pump output
pressure). This valve gives either high or low line pressure depending on whether S6 is switched Off or On, When S6
is switched On,S6 pressure is applied to the PRV moving it against spring pressure and opening the line pressure
circuit to the pump suction port resulting in reduced line pressure. Low line pressure is used during light throttle
applications and cruising. Heavy throttle will cause S6 to switch Off and thereby cause high line pressure.
This stepped line pressure control has no detrimental effect on shift feel because all shifting pressures are controlled
by separate band and clutch regulator valves, and the output of S5.
When reverse gear is selected, both the low and high line pressure values are boosted to guard against slippage.
This is achieved by applying reverse oil line pressure to the PRV to assist the spring load. The other end of the valvecontains ports for line pressure feedback and 56 pressure.
The PRV also regulates the supply of oil to the converter via the converter feed port. The cascade effect of the PRV
ensures the first priority of the valve is to maintain line pressure at very low engine speeds. When the engine speed
increases and the pump supplies an excess of oil the PRV moves to uncover the converter feed port thereby pressurising
the converter. If there is an excess of oil for the transmission’s needs then the PRV moves further to allow oil to return
to the suction port.

5A-40 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
Converter Clutch Regulator Valve
The converter clutch regulator valve (refer figure 3.20) regulates
the pressure of the oil which applies the converter clutch. Input
oil from the line 500 circuit is regulated within the valve, with the output pressure being variable according to the signal
pressure from the S5 circuit. Converter clutch apply and release
application is smoothed by electronically varying the S5 circuitpressure.
Converter Clutch Control Valve
The converter clutch control valve (refer figure 3.21) is a two position valve which applies or releases the converter clutch.
The switching of this valve is governed by the signal pressure from S7.
When the valve is in the off or released position, converter feed oil from the PRV is directed to the release side of the
converter clutch. After flowing through the converter, oil returns to the converter clutch control valve and is then
directed to the oil cooler.
When the valve is in the on or applied position, regulated oil from the converter clutch regulator valve is directed to
the apply side of the converter clutch. This oil remains within the converter because the converter clutch piston is
sealed against the flat friction surface of the converter cover. To provide oil flow to the cooler the converter clutch
control valve directs converter feed oil from the PRV directly to the cooler circuit.
