Power transmission locking of automatic and manual 3rd-Gear
When the automatic 3rd-Gear and manual 3rd-Gear is locked, the drive of transmission is basically same as that in automatic 3rd-
Gear. But it provide the variable torque drive without slide for the application of torque converter locking clutch.
Control:
The control for the automatic 3
rd-Gear locking and manual 3rd-Gear locking is basically same as that for automatic 3rd –Gear. But
it should be described additionally that the automatic 3
rd-Gear and manual 3rd-gear locking needs the action for variable torque
clutch loop by solenoid valve S7.
When the solenoid valve S7 is opened, the variable torque clutch control valve is closed and allow the oil feed of S7 loop pass
through the solenoid valve S7 to drainage port. It makes the control valve moves to the clutch combination position.
The loop oil from the line 500 flows into the combination part of variable torque clutch through the converter clutch control
valve through the action of variable torque clutch control valve.
The variable torque clutch release oil is drained from the variable torque clutch control valve.
The torque converter loop oil flows into the oil cooler and lubrication loop through the variable clutch control valve.

In automatic 4th –gear locking, the drive of transmission is same as that in automatic 4th –gear basically. But for the application of
variable torque locking clutch, it provides the variable torque drive without slide.
Control:
The automatic 4th –Gear locking is same as that in automatic 4th-Gear basically. But it should be described that when the automatic
4
th-Gear is locked, it has the action for variable torque loop by solenoid valve S7.
When the solenoid valve S7 is opened, the variable torque clutch control valve is closed and allow the S7 loop oil flows to the
drainage port through the solenoid valve S7, then control the valve to move to the clutch engagement position.
The line pressure loop regulating oil from the torque converter clutch regulating valve flows into the combination side of torque
converter clutch directly.
The release oil of torque converter clutch is drained from the control valve of torque converter clutch..

4. Operating mode of transmission
TCU realizes the effective control for the transmission according to the accurate information acquired form the input data and
complete control for the output data. To ensure the input and output of TCU is actual and effective, TCU executes the data sense
command for hardware and software. For the failure information found in the following operating mode described in detail, TCU
will give the corresponding response.
Similarly, it exists the possibility that could not find out the failure cause. If encounter the condition, the operation for transmis
sion is determined difficultly.
Following condition will effect the operation of transmission, but will not appear the detection failure information.
a. Power supply failure
The transmission adopts the 3-Gear lame Home Mode (LHM) irrelevant to car speed.
If occur the intermittent power supply, then TCU will start form 4-Gear and is switched to the proper gear to meet the
requirement of current work. At this time, it will not monitor the power supply status.
b. The transmission fluid temperature is higher than 135
If found the transmission temperature is high:
The torque converter lock clutch will start in low speed and the car will have the vibration.
Some cars will have the condition that the mode indicator lamp is flash.
The reason for the condition may be the transmission fluid temperature is high or acquire the inaccurate single form the
temperature sensor. If occurs the temperature failure, it may find the high temperature operating condition.
c. Failure of ON/OFF solenoid valve
If one of the solenoid valves has the mechanical failure, TCU will not find the failure. At this time, the failure operation of
transmission will be determined according to the solenoid valve with failure. The characteristic of different solenoid valve failure
is listed in Table 6.1.2.

Mechanical detection
1.Inspection of transmission on car
It should process the following detections before disassemble the transmission:
process the on-road drive test to determine the failure cause .(according to requirement)
Detect the standard of transmission fluid. (refer to 7.2.1)
Ensure the transmission fluid in not overheated. (Normal color and smell)
Detect the failure information.
Check the battery terminal and grounding for corrosion or loose.
The engine speed is within the specified value in manual.
Check the cooling system for normal operation.
All power supply and plug wires is tight and not loose.
Check the transmission fluid, ensure the oil pan is without other martial material or pollutant.
2. Oil leakage detection
It should wash the polluted part of the transmission before select the oil leakage part, then drive the car.
When detect the leakage part of the rear servo system, it should lift the car by lifter firstly, then switch the gear to reverse
gear within 10s.
When detect the leakage part of front servo system, it should lift the car by lifter firstly, then switch the gear to gear-2
(winter mode).
The time switched to 2nd-Gear should be no more than 10s to avoid the oil in the torque converter is overheated.

Adjustment
Hydraulic system
Following parts is the detailed description for self-detection procedure pointed to the condition occurred in chapter
6. including the condition indicated the failure, to point the problem existed in the hydraulic system.
It should select the proper procedure from the following primary detection when adjust the transmission.
Detection process of transmission fluid
Detect the manual linkage adjusting system(refer to factory manual of car)
Detect the engine idle speed
Anchoring test (beyond the scope of the maintenance manual)
On-road test (beyond the scope of the maintenance manual)
Detection procedure of transmission fluid level
1. General
The process is used to detect the level of vehicle transmission fluid. It will cause the failure or delay of transmission shifting if
the level is low than required value and the vehicle does not reach the drive temperature.
Firstly, process the transmission diagnosis information detection for vehicle (refer to chapter 6). If found the failure of sensor,
then it maybe caused by transmission fluid level is less than specified value.
It should detect whether has the abnormal delay and Gear-position condition when select the forward or reverse-gear by driving
the vehicle. One feature of oil level less than normal value is that the vehicle has the gear-position delay and lack condition when
the vehicle is in steering. The previous problem will occur when the transmission fluid temperature is low.
When the oil temperature is medium and vehicle speed failure is recorded, the gear-position lose condition
will not occurs any longer, it means that needs to fill the transmission with the transmission fluid.
2. Detection of transmission fluid level
When fill up or replace the transmission fluid, it must use the Castrol TQ95 automatic transmission fluid (ATF) or other
permissive oil. It will damage the performance and service life of transmission if use the unpermissive transmission fluid.
Please ensure the transmission fluid level is correct. The transmission also can be damaged if the transmission fluid level is
incorrect.
The setting procedure of transmission fluid level is shown as follows:
Caution:
When the transmission is in operating temperature, the hot transmission fluid may flow out form the
housing if remove the filling plug.
a. If the vehicle is in operating temperature, allow two hours time for cooling before add the transmission fluid, but
it must not more than 4 hours (this will make the transmission locate in the correct temperature range). When the
temperature is overheating, the transmission fluid level will higher than the plug port. Removal of plug will cause
the transmission fluid flows out from the oil filling port, then cause the low level of transmission fluid.
b. The gear-position of transmission is in parking-Gear (P-Gear), shut off the engine.
c. Lifting the vehicle (or parking above the trench).
d. Clean the around of plug when remove it. Then remove and clean the plug and check the O-ring for damage. Install
the oil filling pump in the oil filling hole.
e. Lower the vehicle; the oil filling pump will be connected to the vehicle at this time. Fill the transmission with the
oil partially. Then start the vehicle in P-Gear to rotate the engine in idle speed. Step down the foot brake, pull the
shifting lever in each gear-position in circulation and add the transmission fluid until the action of each gear-
position can be sensed.
f. Shut down the engine; lift the vehicle; ensure the vehicle is always in horizontal.
g. Remove the filling plug 3 minutes after the engine is shut off, but must not be no more than1 hour. At this time, the
correct level position should be in the bottom of oil filling hole. If does not reach the liquid level position, then fill
with few transmission fluid to make it reach the correct level.
h. Replace the transmission; clean the residual transmission fluid on the transmission and
vehicle.
i. Tighten the transmission plug to the specified torque of 30
35Nm.
