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.

TRANSMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (AW30 –40LE) (V6 3.5L) 7A2-11
Comparison of mode
1. The normal drive mode is set at the normal shift
points.
2. The shift points of the power drive mode are shifted
to the higher speed side, compared to the normal
drive mode.
3. The 3rd start mode is a special mode used
exclusively for starting in third gear.
3rd start Mode
1. The 3rd start switch will operate when switched on
after all of the following conditions are present:
a. The gear select position is “D" range only.
b. Vehicle speed is 11 km/h (7 mph) or less.
c. Transmission oil temperature is 120
C (248
F)
or less.
d. Accelerator opening is at 8% or less.
2. Cancel Release
1. Cancellation by driver
a. Turning off the 3rd start mode switch
b. Shifting select position to “3", “2", or “L" (3rd
start mode is not canceled by selecting “N",
“ R", or “P")
c. Ignition key is turned off.
2. Automatic cancellation
a. When vehicle runs at 34 km/h (21mph) o
r
more for 1 second or more
b. When transmission oil temperature reaches 120
C (284
F) or above
NOTE: The mode returns to normal drive mode o
r
power drive mode after the 3rd start mode is canceled.
Backup Mode
If a major system failure occurs which could affect
safety or damage the transmission under normal
vehicle operation, the diagnostic system detects the
fault and overrides the Transmission Control Module
(TCM).
The “CHECK TRANS" light flashes to alert the driver,
and the transmission must be manually shifted as
follows:
Select lever position Gear Ratio Selected
D 4 (Fourth)
Manual 3 4 (Fourth)
Manual 2 3 (Third)
Manual L 3 (Third)
R Reverse
Shifts are firmer to prevent clutch slip and consequent
wear. The fault should be corrected as soon as
possible.
