TURBINE SENSOR

The turbine sensor is a hall element. It is installed to the front of the transmission case. The turbine
sensor converts the rotations of the reverse & high clutch drum fitted with the input shaft by spline to
pulse signal and sends the signal to TCM.

One turn of the reverse & high clutch drum generates 32-pulse signal, which is sent to the TCM.

SPEED SENSOR

The speed sensor is a hall element. It is installed to the rear of the transmission case. The speed sensor
converts the rotations of the parking gear fitted with the output shaft by spline to a pulse signal which is
sent to the TCM.

One turn of the parking gear generates a 16-pulse signal to be sent to the TCM.

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.

7A1-30 CONSTRUCTION AND FUNCTION
LINE PRESSURE CONTROL

Either the throttle opening, vehicle speed, turbine rotational speed, ATF temperature or speed-change
range signal appropriate under the situation is issued from the TCM. The ON/OFF type line pressure
solenoid is actuated and switches the line pressure to high or low pressure.

The line pressure generated by the oil pump acts on the point A of the pressure regulator valve. When
the pressure control solenoid is turned ON by the signal from the TCM, the solenoid pressure does not
act. The line pressure is adjusted to match the spring force acting on the right side of the pressure
regulator valve.

When the pressure control solenoid is turned OFF, the solenoid pressure acts so that the line pressure is
adjusted to match the spring force acting on the right side of the pressure regulator valve.

As a result, the line pressure is adjusted to be low when the pressure control solenoid is ON and to be
high when the pressure control solenoid is OFF.

In the D, 3, 2 and L range, the line pressure through the oil pressure circuit acts onto the point B of the
pressure regulator valve and the pressure regulator valve moves so as to increase the pressure to be
drained, so that the line pressure is adjusted to be lower than the P, N, and R range by the difference of
area at the point B.

LOCK-UP CONTROL

The lock-up solenoid adjusts the pressure and controls the lock-up based on the pre-set lock-up point,
according to the vehicle speed, throttle opening, engine rotations, turbine rotations and ATF temperature
input signal, based on the signal from the TCM.

Smooth lock-up control is employed to engage or disengage the clutch smoothly at the time of lock-up.

When the oil temperature is low (below 20C) or high (over 128C), lock-up is disengaged even though
the vehicle is at the lock-up speed.

The lock-up is disengaged also when the throttle is closed.

When the TCM determines the lock-up engagement, the DUTY ratio to supply power to the lock-up
solenoid is gradually increased (5% to 95%) and the oil between the lock-up piston and converter cover is
gradually drained.
As a result, the lock-up piston is fitted slowly under pressure to the converter cover securing smooth lock-
up engagement.

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

CONSTRUCTION AND FUNCTION 7A1-33
LEARNING CONTROL

Oil pressure control timing is optimally corrected at the time of clutch engagement and disengagement
and controlled to bring the speed-change time to the value preset to the TCM and compensate the
changes of the engine performance and changes of the transmission with time.

When the gear is shifted, the clutch pressure 2 is optimally corrected so that the speed-change time is as
near as the target value
1 preset to the TCM and the changes in the engine performance and the
changes of the transmission with time can be compensated based on the past speed-change results.

When the clutch is operated to shift the gear, the time of the clutch oil pressure release timing 4 on the
disengagement side is optimally corrected so that the changes of the engine rpm
3 is optimum.


Note:

When the battery terminal is disconnected, contents of learning are cleared and resultantly the speed
change shock may increase. After the vehicle has traveled, learning is repeated and the shock
decreases gradually.
