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 10C), speed change from the third to the fourth
speed is prohibited by the gear shift control.

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 20C) or high (above 128C), 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.
