ELECTRONICAL COMPONENTS
Selector Lever/Program Switch
The driver engages the travel position via the selector le-
ver:
P : Park Position
R : Reverse
N : Neutral
D : Forward Speeds
Park/Neutral Position Switch
The Park/Neutral Position Switch is located on the selec-
tor shaft and informs the TCM of the current selector lever
position P–R–N–D–3–2–1.
The selector lever position is transmitted to the TCM in en-
coded form along 4 lines. The encoding is such that mal-
functions in the connecting lead are identified.
The Park/Neutral Position Switch is located on the selec-
tor shaft, which is connected to the selector lever via a pull
cable. In addition, the Park/Neutral Position Switch con-
trols the starter interlock, the reversing light and the selec-
tor lever position indicator on the instrument panel.

Automatic Transaxle Output Speed Sensor
(A/T OSS)
The vehicle A/T OSS is a magnetic inductive pickup that
relays information relative to vehicle speed to the TCM.
Vehicle speed information is used by the TCM to control
shift timing, line pressure, and TCC (lock–up clutch) apply
and release.
The output speed sensor mounts in the case at the speed
sensor rotor, which is pressed onto the spur gear. An air
gap of 0.1mm~1.3mm(0.004~0.05in) is maintained be-
tween the sensor and the teeth on the spur gear teeth. The
sensor consists of a permanent magnet surrounded by a
coil of wire.
As the differential rotates, an AC signal is generated by the
output speed sensor (OSS).
Automatic Transaxle Input Speed Sensor
(A/T ISS)
The A/T ISS is a magnetic inductive pickup that relays in-
formation relative to transaxle input speed to the TCM.
The TCM uses transaxle input speed information to con-
trol line pressure, TCC apply and release and transaxle
shift patterns. This information is also uses to calculate the
appropriate operating gear ratios and TCC slippage.
The input speed sensor mounts onto piston B that is inside
of valve body.
An air gap of 1.8~2.2mm(0.07~0.086inch) is maintained
between the sensor and the piston B.
The sensor consists of a permanent magnet surrounded
by a coil of wire. As the piston B is driven by the turbine
shaft, an AC signal induced in the input speed sensor.
Higher vehicle speeds induce a higher frequency and volt-
age measurement at the sensor.
Sensor resistance should measure between 825~835
ohms at 20°C (68°F). Sensor can measure from
1,000~8,000HZ.

FUNCTION CHECK
Confirm whether below condition before function check.
S Oil temperature is hot condition (50°C (122°F) ~
80°C (176°F)).
S Switch of A/C and light etc are off.
Stall Test
Stall test’ purpose is to inspect overall performance of A/T
and engine by measuring the stall speed in ”D” and ”R”
range.1. Chock 4 Wheels and apply parking brake fully, lock
vehicle perfectly.
2. Fully pressed on foot brake pedal with left foot.
3. Shift into ”D” and ”R” range, fully press on accelera-
tor pedal with right foot.
Quickly read stall speed at this time.
Standards
2390 ± 150 rpm
Notice : Do not continuously run longer than 5 sec be-
cause of extreme increasing oil temp.
Make sure to keep interval for more than 1 min between
stall tests.

Time Lag Test
Time lag is time till slightly shock can be felt when shift le-
ver is shifted ”N” ”D” and ”N” ”R” while engine idling.
Time lag test can inspect hydraulic condition and clutch/
brake condition.
1. Chock 4 Wheels and apply parking brake fully, lock
vehicle perfectly.
2. Measure time lag by using stop watch from moment
when shift lever is shifted in ”N” ”D” and ”N”
”R” until moment slightly shock can be felt.”N D”less than 0.7 sec
”N” ”R”less than 1.2 sec
Notice : Make sure to take 3 measurement and take the
average value.
Make sure to keep interval for more than 1 min between
time lag tests. (That purpose is to remove clutch/brake
pressure was left unfinished.)

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
AND SYSTEM OPERATION
TRANSAXLE DESCRIPTION
The new automatic transmission is an electronically con-
trolled 4–speed automatic transmission with Lock–up
mechanism.
The transmission is mainly composed of the torque con-
verter with lock up clutch, newly developed 4–speed plan-
etary gear unit, the hydraulic control system and the elec-
tric control system.
ELECTRONICAL COMPONENTS
Transmission Control Module (TCM)
The TCM primarily controls shift points and lockup en-
gagement. It is located on the driver side under the instru-
ment panel.
The transmission is controlled by an electronic shift sys-
tem. The Transmission Control Module (TCM) processes
input signals. From the information received, the TCM
controls the transmission hydraulic system.
The electronic shift system consists of the following :
S Transmission control module (TCM)
S Shift solenoids (SS1 and SS2)
S Pressure control solenoid (PCS)
S Lockup solenoid
S Input shaft speed (ISS) sensor
S Output shaft speed (OSS) sensor
S Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) sensor
S Transmission Range (TR) Switch
Transmission Range (TR) Switch
Transmission Range (TR) Switch transmits the informa-
tion which range includes shift lever of A/T to Starter and
TCM.
S It is possible for TR switch to start an engine in only
”P” and ”N”. (Prevention of reckless driving)
S TR switch makes backup lamp turn on when re-
versing.
S It is used for TR switch to shift control.
TR switch transmits the information by combination of
starter and reverse circuit to vehicle side directly without
TCM.
Shift Solenoid No 1,2 (SS1, SS2)
2 shift solenoids are installed directly in the valve body.
The solenoids operate of ON and OFF by the control sig-
nal from TCM. Combinations of 2 solenoids, SS1 and SS2
changes gear ranges.
