CONSTRUCTION AND FUNCTION 7A1-17

ATF Thermo Sensor

The ATF thermo sensor detects the ATF temperature in the oil pan and sends signal to the TCM.

The ATF thermo sensor is of the thermister type that the resistance value changes according to the ATF
oil temperature.

The lower is the ATF temperature, the larger is the resistance, and vice versa.

When the ATF temperature exceeds 145C, the TCM lights up the ATF temperature warning lamp in the
meter. When the ATF temperature decreases below 128C, the ATF temperature warning lamp goes out.

The ATF thermo sensor is installed to the lower control valve body and integrated with the harness
assembly.

7A1-26 CONSTRUCTION AND FUNCTION
CONTROL MECHANISM
CONTENT OF FUNCTION AND CONTROL
Item Description
Line pressure control TCM issues a signal according to the vehicle traveling, engine load and other conditions to
TCM and the ON/OFF type line pressure solenoid is driven to switch the line pressure to
high or low pressure.
The line pressure solenoid is switched to the low pressure side when the solenoid is turned
ON (power supplied) and to the high pressure side when turned OFF (no power supplied).
In the forward travel range (D, 3, 2, L range), the line pressure decreases lower than that in
the P, N, and R range through the oil pressure circuit for the forward travel range.


Gear shift control The TCM issues a shift solenoid drive signal based on the traveling mode switch, inhibitor
switch, vehicle speed, throttle opening and other input signal to control the optimum gear
position automatically.
Speed change features have been set up to the TCM; the normal mode is suited to usual
traveling and the power mode is appropriate when the vehicle is loaded or accelerates the
speed.
In addition, speed change features used only for high oil temperature, hill climbing, and
down have been set up to the TCM, which are automatically switched depending on the
traveling conditions.
When the oil temperature is low (below 10
C), speed change from the third to the fourth
speed is prohibited by the gear shift control.

Down slope mode reset condition
Engine idle condition: Not idle condition
Select lever position: Other than D or 3 range
At least, one of above conditions is met.

- Power Mode -
When power drive switch is On at only D range or 3 range, the shift change is performed by
1 – 4 speed based on shift diagram set as power pattern.

- Up slope mode -
Up-slope reasoning value is calculated from the average throttle angle and the average
acceleration. Otherwise, up-slope reasoning value is calculated from the vehicle speed.
TCM judges as up-slope mode when the former is bigger than latter.


Lock-up control The lock-up solenoid adjusts the pressure based on the signal from the TCM according to
the vehicle speed, throttle opening and other input signals based on the pre-set lock-up
point to control the lock-up.
Smooth lock-up control engages and disengages the clutch smoothly at the time of lock-up.
When the oil temperature is low (below 20
C) or high (above 128
C), lock-up is prohibited
even when the vehicle is at a lock-up speed.
The lock-up is disengaged also when the throttle is closed.
Direct electronic shift
control (DESC)
The duty cycle type solenoid is used for each clutch and brake. The solenoid adjusts the
clutch pressure to be suited to the engine load and vehicle traveling condition based on the
signal from the TCM. The pressure switch provided in the control valve oil passage sends
the oil pressure condition to the TCM to control the disengagement and engagement of the
clutch and brake directly and finely.
Learning control Learning is controlled to correct the oil pressure control timing to engage or disengage the
clutch optimally in order to compensate changes of the engine performance and changes
of the transmission with time. It is controlled to bring the speed-change time closer to the
value pre-set to the TCM.
