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.

DTC P0602 (FLASHING CODE 63) Transmission Control Module (TCM)
Programming Error
Circuit Description
The Service Programming System (SPS) updates the
flash calibration files that are stored in a Transmission
Control Module (TCM). The calibration file
custom-tailors a module to a certain vehicle. The
calibration file contains data for things such as spark
curves and fuel control. When troubleshooting a
driveability problem, diagnosis may call fo
r
reprogramming the controller with newer calibration
information to correct a customer concern and Vehicle
Identification Number (VIN).
Condition for setting the DTC
When the TCM is not written VIN No.
Action Taken When The DTC Sets
DTC stored.
Conditions For Clearing The DTC
The DTC can be cleared from the TCM history by
using a scan tool.
The DTC will be cleared from history when the
vehicle has achieved 40 warm-up cycles without a
failure reported.
After more than 1 second has elapsed after the
ignition key has been turned “ON", short between
No.11 and No.4 (ground) of DLC (Data Link
Connector). Then, after 1 second, but within 6
seconds, discontinue shorting.
Diagnostic Aids
DTC P0602 is indicated when the TCM does not written
VIN No. A security lock is performed by SPS. And not
replace the TCM when DTC P0602 can repair by SPS.

(AC) to the TCM, which converts this sine wave signal
(pulse voltage) to a RPM signal.
Condition for setting the DTC
The TCM detects following conditions at 1000
times continuously.
When the TCM detects following conditions at the
same time.
When output speed is over 775 rpm (16 mph) at
gear position is 1st or 2nd or 3rd.
Input speed signal is no pulse while output speed
signal are 12 pulses.
