DIRECT ELECTRIC SHIFT CONTROL (DESC)
Feature
Based on the each switch signals (low & reverse brake pressure, 2-4 brake pressure & high clutch
pressure) and sensors signals (turbine sensor, speed sensor, engine speed signal & throttle position
signal), duty cycle type solenoid adjusts the clutch pressure to match the engine load and vehicle
traveling condition. By this result, controlling the engagement and disengagement of the clutch and brake
pressure is directly and accurately controlled via TCM, which is not realized in previous accumulator type.
Operation
Instead of the previous system (on/off type of shift solenoid and shift valve), the combination of duty cycle
type solenoid and amplifier (Amp) valve are used to adjust the clutch pressure to match the engine load
and vehicle traveling condition based on the signal from the TCM, and the pressure switch provided in the
oil passage of the control valve transmits the oil pressure condition at that time to TCM, thus controlling
the engagement and disengagement of the clutch and brake directly and finely.
When the gear is shifted from the 2nd to 3rd, 3rd to 4th (O/D), 4th (O/D) to 3rd and 3rd to 2nd, the clutch
pressure on the engagement side and that on the disengagement side are simultaneously controlled.
As a result, engine racing or clutch drag is prevented securing smooth and quick speed change response

Input
TCM Judges necessary line pressure, gear shifting point and lock-up
operation based on electrical signals from switches and
sensors and sends appropriate signals to solenoids.

pressure for current driving condition based on signal from
TCM.
Low clutch solenoid Selects appropriate gear shifting position for current driving
condition and regulates low clutch supply oil pressure based on
signal from TCM.
High clutch solenoid Selects appropriate gear shifting position for current driving
condition and regulates high clutch supply oil pressure based
on signal from TCM.
2-4 brake solenoid Selects appropriate gear shifting position for current driving
condition and regulates 2-4 brake supply oil pressure based on
signal from TCM.
Low & Reverse brake solenoid Selects appropriate gear shifting position for current driving
condition and regulates low & reverse brake supply oil

Setting Condition:
No throttle signal is sent from the ECM for 0.4 seconds.
Fail Safe:
When the vehicle is running, the gear position selected at the trouble detection is held and the lock-up is
inhibited.
After the vehicle stopped, all solenoid operations stop (OFF) and the gear is fixed to the 3rd.
Possible Cause:
Throttle position sensor malfunction.
Signal wire open circuit or short circuit to battery of the harness between ECM 29 (C56) and TCM terminal A16
(C94).
Poor connection of each connector.
Reference:
At throttle position 0%, OFF duty signal 10% is sent from ECM terminal 29 (C56) to TCM terminal A16 (C94).
At throttle position 100% (WOT), OFF duty signal 90% is sent from ECM terminal 29 (C56) to TCM terminal A16
(C94).

DIAGNOSIS (JR405E) 7A2-97
No. B2: Poor Acceleration at Starting
Description:
Starting acceleration is poor.
Diagnosis Hints:
In addition to the low engine output, faulty gear shifting of AT or fixing at the 3rd position may be possible.
Therefore, in case of such a trouble that "maximum speed is low, and acceleration is poor", it should be cleared
up whether the trouble is originated from the engine system of AT system by a running test, inspection of stall
revolution, etc.
Possible Cause:
Clogged air cleaner, out of injection timing, dropped compression pressure, etc.
Fixing at 3rd position (fail-safe activated).
Since the gear is fixed at the 3rd position because of the fail-safe function, a trouble that "Maximum
speed is low, and acceleration is poor" is resulted. In this case, the DTC is memorized.
When TCM stops operation because of faulty TCM ground, the gear is fixed at the 3rd position because
of a mechanical reason. In this case, no DTC is memorized.
Disordered inhibitor switch.
Incorrect properties of throttle opening signal (serial communication) of throttle position sensor.
Throttle opening signal (serial communication) of the throttle position sensor does not change in
proportion to the throttle opening. In this case, fixing at the high or low gear results in such a trouble
that "Maximum Speed is Low and Acceleration is Poor".
Slip of clutch (low clutch, high clutch).
If slip of clutch is caused, a DTC (gear ratio error) is stored.
Dropped line pressure.
Trouble in the torque converter system (faulty operation).
Step Action Yes No
