TCM FunctionECS00CDW
The function of the TCM is to:
Receive input signals sent from various switches and sensors.
Determine required line pressure, shifting point, lock-up operation, and engine brake operation.
Send required output signals to the respective solenoids.
CONTROL SYSTEM OUTLINE
The automatic transmission senses vehicle operating conditions through various sensors or signals. It always
controls the optimum shift position and reduces shifting and lock-up shocks.

A/T CONTROL SYSTEM
Revision: October 20052005 QX56
CAN CommunicationECS00CDX
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle mul-
tiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Many elec-
tronic control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with other
control units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control units are connected with 2
communication lines (CAN H line, CAN L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission with less wiring.
Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only. For details, refer to LAN-5,
"CAN COMMUNICATION" .
