7A2-10 TRANSMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (AW30 –40LE) (V6 3.5L)

Control and Functions
Shift Control
The transmission gear is shifted according to the shift
pattern selected by the driver. In shifting gears, the
gear ratio is controlled by the ON/ OFF signal using the
shift solenoid S1 and the shift solenoid S2.
Band Apply Control
The band apply is controlled when in the 3 –2 downshift
(engine overrun prevention) and the garage shift (shock
control).
The band apply solenoid is controlled by the signal from
the Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) to regulate the flow
of the oil.
Torque Converter Clutch Control
The clutch ON/OFF is controlled by moving the
converter clutch valve through shifting Torque
Converter Clutch (TCC) solenoid using the ON/OFF
signal.
Line Pressure Control
The throttle signal allows the current signal to be sent
to the force motor. After receiving the current signal,
the force motor activates the pressure regulator valve
to regulate the line pressure.
On –Board Diagnostic System
Several malfunction displays can be stored in the
Transmission Control Module (TCM) memory, and read
out of it afterward.
The serial data lines, which are required for the testing
of the final assembly and the coupling to othe
r
electronic modules, can be regulated by this function.
Fail –Safe Mechanism
If there is a problem in the transmission system, the
TCM will go into a “backup" mode.
The vehicle can still be driven, but the driver must use
the select lever to shift gears.
Torque Management Control
The transmission control side sends the absolute spark
advance signal to the engine control side while the
transmission is being shifted. This controls the engine
spark timing in compliance with the vehicle running
condition to reduce the shocks caused by the change o
f
speed.
ATF Warning Control
The oil temperature sensor detects the ATF oil
temperature to control the oil temperature warning,
TCC, and the 3rd start mode.
Reverse Lock Out Control
With the selector lever in reverse position, the TCM will
not close the PWM solenoid until the vehicle is below
15 km/h (9.3 mph), thus preventing reverse
engagement above this speed.

Downhill Control
This mode is automatically activated from NORMAL
mode only when downhill conditions are recognized.
The shift pattern is identical to NORMAL mode except
3-4 and 4-3 shift lines at low throttle modified to get
engine braking on a larger speed range.
Uphill Control
When uphill condition are recognized the 2-3 and 3-4
shift and TCC apply are down only when the engine
torque is sufficient in order to avoid shift hunting.

Diagnostic Trouble Codes
The purpose of the “Diagnostic Trouble Codes" mode is
to display stored TCM trouble codes.
When “Diagnostic Trouble Codes" is selected an
“ Application Menu" screen appears.
Clear DTC Information
The purpose of the “Clear DTC Information" mode is to
command the clearing of stored TCM trouble codes.
When “Clear DTC Information" is selected, a “Clea
r
DTC Information", warning screen appears. This screen
informs you that by cleaning DTC's, “all stored DTC
information in controller will be erased".
Do you want to clear DTC's (Yes/No).
Press either the Yes or No key when answering.
After clearing codes, confirm system operation by test
driving the vehicle.
Allow the vehicle to shift through all four forward gears
in a manner which attempts to repeat the failure
condition.
NOTE: When the trouble has not been repaired and
the trouble code cannot be erased, check the vehicle
again.
DTC Information
When “DTC Information" is selected, an “Application
Menu" appears with a list of DTC information function
keys addressing DTC specifics and their origins.
Function key selections may vary for particular vehicle
and/or system.
Data Display
The purpose of the “Data Display" mode is to
continuously monitor data parameters.
The current actual values of all important sensors and
signals in the system are display through F1 mode.
When “Data Display" is selected an “Application Menu"
appears. Please select either “Engine" or “Transmission
Data Display".
See “Transmission Data" on next page.
Snapshot
When “Snapshot" is selected an “Application Menu"
appears.
When “Transmission Snapshot" application is selected
from the “Application Menu", a “Snapshot Menu"
appears, displaying several options. “Snapshot" options
may vary from one system to another.
“ Snapshot" allows a recording of all vehicle parameters.
There parameters may then be replayed at a future
point in time.
This action allows you to focus on making the condition
occur, rather than trying to view all of the data in
anticipation of the fault. The snapshot will collect
parameter information around a trigger point that you
select.

When a snapshot is taken. It is recorded onto the
PCMCIA memory card. When the Tech 2 is powered
down. Snapshots are not lost.
Actuator Tests
The purpose of “Actuator Tests" mode is to check fo
r
correct operation of electronic system actuators.
Lamps
You can operate the lamps by pressing the “ON" and
“ OFF" buttons.
Preconditions: none
Solenoid
Solenoid A(S1), Solenoid B(S2)
You can operate the solenoids by pressing the “ON"
and “OFF" buttons.
Preconditions: P –N position, no vehicle speed, no
engine speed
Pressure Control Solenoid (PCS)
You can set desired PCS Current using the “ON" (+20)
and “OFF" (-20) button. The PC Solenoid Data informs
about PCS Current, Pressure and Duty Cycle.
Preconditions: P –N position, no engine speed, no

NOTE: Freeze Frame
Freeze Frame is an element of the Diagnostic
Management System which stores various vehicle
information at the moment an emission-related fault
is stored in memory and when the Check Transe
Lamp is commanded on. These data can help to
identity the cause of a fault. Refer to Storing An
d

7A3-2 ON-VEHICLE SERVICE (AW30 –40LE)

Service Precaution
WARNING: THIS VEHICLE HAS A SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS). REFER TO THE SRS
COMPONENT AND WIRING LOCATION VIEW IN
ORDER TO DETERMINE WHETHER YOU ARE
PERFORMING SERVICE ON OR NEAR THE SRS
COMPONENTS OR THE SRS WIRING. WHEN YOU
ARE PERFORMING SERVICE ON OR NEAR THE
SRS COMPONENTS OR THE SRS WIRING, REFE
R
TO THE SRS SERVICE INFORMATION. FAILURE TO
FOLLOW WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN
POSSIBLE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT, PERSONAL
INJURY, OR OTHERWISE UNNEEDED SRS SYSTEM
REPAIRS.


CAUTION: Always use the correct fastener in the
proper location. When you replace a fastener, use
ONLY the exact part number for that application.
ISUZU will call out those fasteners that require a
replacement after removal. ISUZU will also call out
the fasteners that require thread lockers or thread
sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, do not
use supplemental coatings (Paints, greases, o
r
other corrosion inhibitors) on threaded fasteners o
r
fastener joint interfaces. Generally, such coatings
adversely affect the fastener torque and the joint
clamping force, and may damage the fastener.
When you install fasteners, use the correct
tightening sequence and specifications. Following
these instructions can help you avoid damage to
parts and systems.

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.

Warning to the driver

"CHECK TRANS" is ON during 3 seconds at key switch ON
position.

When trouble has occurred to electrical components,
"CHECK TRANS" lamp is blinked (1.25 Hz) even during
driving to warn the driver.

The trouble is recorded by trouble code in TCM. When
temporary trouble code has been canceled, the "CHEC
K
TRANS" lamp stops blinking. This blinking can be stopped
by setting the key off. But the trouble code remains
memorized in TCM.

NOTE:
1. If the "CHECK TRANS" lamp is staying ON always at key
switch ON position, this means that connection between the
lamp and TCM is shorted to ground.
Verify connection and wire between the TCM A20 terminal
and lamp short to ground.
2. If the "CHECK TRANS" lamp is staying OFF at key switch
ON position (Engine off), this means that connection
between the lamp and TCM is opened or meter fuse (15A)
is burnt out.
