NOTE:
Replace the clutch hose if it is twisted, cracked, or if it leaks.
Use fender covers to avoid damaging painted surfaces.
Do not spill brake fluid on the vehicle. It may damage the paint or plastic. If brake fluid does contact the
paint or plastic, wash it off immediately water.
1. Remove the brake fluid from the clutch master cylinder reservoir with a syringe or other suitable
device.
2. Disconnect the clutch hose (A) from the clutch lines (B).
3. Remove the clutch hose clips (A) from the clutch hose (B).
4. Remove the clutch hose from the clutch hose brackets (C). 5. Install the new clutch hose (A) into the clutch hose
brackets (B) with new clutch hose clips (C).
NOTE: Check the clutch hose for interference and
twisting.
6. Connect the clutch lines (A) to the clutch hose (B).
7. Do the clutch hydraulic system bleeding (see page 12-7).
8. Check the clutch operation, and check for leaks.
9. Test-drive the vehicle.
Replace.

The electronic control system consists of the powertrain control module (PCM), sensors, and solenoid valves.
Shifting and lock-up are electronically controlled for comfortable driving under all conditions.
The PCM receives input signals from sensors, switches, and other control units, processes data, and outputs signals
for the engine control system and the A/T control system. The A/T control system includes shift control, grade logic
control, clutch pressure control, and lock-up control.
The PCM switches the shift solenoid valves and the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valves ON and OFF to control
gear selection and torque converter clutch lock-up.

A grade logic control system has been adopted to control shifting in D, and in S with automatic shift mode. The PCM
compares actual driving conditions with programmed driving conditions, based on the input from the accelerator
pedal position sensor, the throttle position sensor, the engine coolant temperature sensor, the barometric pressure
sensor, the brake pedal position switch signal, the output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor signal, and the shift l ever
position signal, to control shifting while the vehicle is ascending or descending a slope.

When the PCM determines that the vehicle is climbing a hill in D, and S with automatic shift mode, the system extends
the engagement area of 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gears to prevent the transmission from frequently shifting between 2nd and
3rd gears, between 3rd and 4th gears, and between 4th and 5th gears. Then PCM does this so the vehicle can run
smoothly and have more power when needed.
NOTE: Shift commands stored in the PCM between 2nd and 3rd gears, between 3rd and 4th gears, and between 4th
and 5th gears, enable it to automatically select the most suitable gear according to the magnitude of a gradient.
When the PCM determines that the vehicle is going down a hill in D, and S with automatic shift mode, the upshift
speed from 4th to 5th gear, from the 3rd to 4th gear, and from 2nd to 3rd gear (when the throttle is closed) becomes
higher than the set speed for flat road driving to extend 4th gear, 3rd gear, and 2nd gear driving area. This, in
combination with engine braking from the deceleration lock-up, achieves smooth driving when the vehicle is
descending. There are three descending modes with different 4th gear driving areas, 3rd gear driving areas, and 2nd
gear driving areas according to the magnitude of a gradient stored in the PCM. When the vehicle is in 5th gear or 4th
gear, and you are decelerating when you are applying the brakes on a steep hill, the transmission will downshift to
lower gear. When you accelerate, the transmission will then return to a higher gear.

Electronic Control System (cont’d)
S Position Automatic Shift Mode and Sequential Sportshift Mode
14-44 Automatic Transmission
System Description (cont’d)
SHIFT INDICATOR
’’M’’ INDICATOR
The S position has two shifting modes; the automatic shift mode and the sequential sportshift mode. In the S position
automatic shift mode, the transmission upshifts and downshifts automatically from 1st through 4th gear, and the
paddle shifters are ready to be activated to switch to the sequential sportshift mode. In the automatic shift mode, the
shift indicator and the M indicator in the gauge control module (tach) do not come on.
When the paddle shifter (upshift switch) or the paddle shifter (downshift switch) is pressed, the automatic shift
mode is canceled and the sequential sportshift mode comes into operation. The shift indicator displays the number of
the selected gear, and the M indicator comes on. In the sequential sportshift mode, the driver can shift up and down
manually from 1st through 5th gear by using the paddle shifters, much like a manual transmission. The paddle shifters
are installed on the back of the steering wheel, and the driver can shift gears by pressing the paddle shifters without
taking either hand off the steering wheel.
In the sequential sportshift mode, the transmission must be shifted up and down by pressing the paddle shifters.
However, the transmission cannot downshift and stays in the current gear if the paddle shifter is pressed while the
vehicle is coasting at a speed that would cause the engine to over-rev by downshifting the transmission, and the shift
indicator blinks the number of the selected gear several times, then returns to the number of the current gear. If the
vehicle speed reaches an appropriate speed while the shift indicator is blinking the number of the selected gear, the
transmission downshifts and the shift indicator displays the selected gear. The transmission also cannot upshift and
stays in the current gear if the paddle shifter is pressed while driving below an appropriate upshifting speed, the
shift indicator blinks the number of the selected gear several times, then returns to the number of the current gear. If
the vehicle speed reaches an appropriate upshift speed while the shift indicator is blinking the number of the selected
gear, the transmission upshifts and the shift indicator displays the selected gear.
This mode has automatic downshifting areas so the vehicle can run smoothly with more power to cope with upcoming
acceleration. When coasting in 5th gear or 4th gear, the transmission downshifts to the next lower gear if the vehicle
slows down to the programmed speed, or by pressing the brake pedal.
When the transmission decelerates to a stop, the transmission shifts to 1st gear automatically. The transmission can
be shifted to 2nd gear by pressing the paddle shifter while the vehicle is stopped, and the vehicle can start off in 2nd
gear.
The sequential sportshift mode is canceled when moving the shift lever to any position other than S.
