Line Pressure Solenoid
The line pressure solenoid is turned ON or OFF according to the signal from the TCM. It switches the
line pressure between high and low pressure.
While no power is supplied, the solenoid supplies high pressure.
Shift Solenoid
The shift solenoid is of the duty cycle type which are turned ON or OFF at 50Hz. The ratio of the ON and
OFF time can be freely controlled in the range of 0 - 100%.
While no power is supplied, the solenoid supplies output pressure.
The low clutch solenoid adjusts the low clutch pressure, the high clutch solenoid the high clutch pressure,
the 2-4 brake solenoid the 2-4 brake pressure and the low & reverse brake solenoid the low & reverse
brake pressure respectively.
Lock-up Solenoid
The lock-up solenoid is of the duty cycle type which is turned ON or OFF at 50Hz. The ratio of ON and
OFF time can be freely controlled in the range of 0-100%.
While no power is supplied, the solenoid drains the output pressure.

7A1-16 CONSTRUCTION AND FUNCTION
Control Valve Fail-safe Function
To prevent interlocking due to engagement of more than three clutches and brakes at the same time, the
2-4 brake fail-safe valve A and B, and the low & reverse brake fail-safe valve A and B are provided.
When oil pressure is generated in the high clutch and the low clutch, the 2-4 brake solenoid is turned ON
to drain the oil pressure applied to the 2-4 brake.
When oil pressure is generated in the high clutch or 2-4 brake, the low & reverse brake solenoid is turned
ON to drain the oil pressure applied to the low & reverse brake.
Oil Pressure Switch
The oil pressure switch detects the oil pressure supply condition to the clutch and brake and sends the
detection result to the TCM.
The oil pressure switch is turned ON when the oil pressure reaches the switch working pressure and
turned OFF when the pressure decreases below the specified value.
The high clutch oil pressure switch detects the high clutch oil pressure, 2-4 brake oil pressure switch the
2-4 brake oil pressure, and the low & reverse brake oil pressure switch the low & reverse brake oil
pressure respectively.

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.

PARKING FUNCTION
By setting the select lever to the P range, the parking pawl is engaged with the parking gear and fixes the
output shaft.
By the movement of the select lever, the manual shaft on the side surface of the AT is moved. The
manual plate and parking rod in the AT are interlocked with the manual shaft. When the manual shaft
moves, the parking rod end pushes up the parking pawl.
The parking pawl is engaged with the parking gear when pushed up, and fixes the output shaft.
When the clutch is disengaged, it returns to the original position by the force of the return spring fixed to
the parking pawl.

INHIBITOR SWITCH
The inhibitor switch is installed on the right side of the transmission main unit to detect the select lever
position.
The inhibitor switch is connected with the starter SW circuit. The engine cannot be started when the
select lever is at any position other than the P or N range.
By moving the select lever, the combination of the inhibitor switch pins is changed. The current range of
TCM is detected based on the combination of the pins.

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.
