Automatic transmission-2
Instruction for automatic transmission
1. M88 4-speed automatic transmission is equipped with the hydraulic torque converter and electric control system with locking.
When keep the stable forward status, the hydraulic torque converter can be locked automatically when the engine operates in low
speed, then reduce the unnecessary slide.

2. The main advantage of the transmission is the application of transmission control unit (TCU). The control unit is the control
system based on the microprocessor system.. TCU control the shifting sensing and realize the Gear position shifting through the
signal of opening degree of throttle position, opening frequency of throttle position, engine speed, vehicle speed, transmission oil
temperature, gear position, mode selection and forced Gear reduction application.
3. TCU drives a variable pressure regulating solenoid valve to control three regulation valves and control the feeling of shifting.
Different transmission fluid temperatures are taken as one the main parameters to control the output pressure of the solenoid
valve, so as to keep consistent feeling of shifting within the normal operation scope.
4. The planning of shifting is very flexible. According to the car model, the different shifting plan is stored in the same TCU.
Generally speaking, the “economical mode” can increase the economical efficiency of the fuel and the driving performance of the
car to the maximum limit. The “dynamic mode” can bring into full play the drive performance of the car to the maximum limit. The
“winter mode” can make the car starting from shift 2.

control system
General
The transmission has two sets of control system, a electric control system and a hydraulic control system. The electric control
system monitors the vehicle parameter and adjusts the transmission performance; the hydraulic control system executes the
command of electric control system.
Electric control system
The electric control system consists of the sensor, TCU and 7 solenoid valves. TCU read in the data and make the output under the
control of software based on the value stored in Read Only Memory (ROM).
TCU controls the hydraulic control system and the control is realized through the valve and pump assembly. The system includes
7 solenoid valves, in which 6 valves are used to control the line pressure, operate the shift valve and hydraulic torque converter lock
clutch and switch on and off two regulating valves (Two regulating valves control the shift feel). The seventh solenoid valve is the
pressure regulating solenoid valve (VPS) which controls the shift feel with other three regulating valves. Figure 3.1 is the typical TCU
control system plan.
The figure includes all elements of electric control system involved in the section.
