Line Pressure ControlNCS001JS
When an input torque signal equivalent to the engine drive force is sent from the ECM to the TCM, the
TCM controls the line pressure solenoid.
This line pressure solenoid controls the pressure regulator valve as the signal pressure and adjusts the
pressure of the operating oil discharged from the oil pump to the line pressure most appropriate to the
driving state.
LINE PRESSURE CONTROL IS BASED ON THE TCM LINE PRESSURE CHARACTERISTIC
PATTERN
The TCM has stored in memory a number of patterns for the optimum line pressure characteristic for the
driving state.
In order to obtain the most appropriate line pressure characteristic to meet the current driving state, the
TCM controls the line pressure solenoid current value and thus controls the line pressure.
Normal Control
Each clutch is adjusted to the necessary pressure to match the
engine drive force.
Back-up Control (Engine Brake)
When the select operation is performed during driving and the A/T is
shifted down, the line pressure is set according to the vehicle speed.

A/T CONTROL SYSTEM
Revision: 2006 January2006 M35/M45
Engine Brake ControlNCS001JV
The forward one-way clutch transmits the drive force from the engine to the rear wheels. But the reverse
drive from the rear wheels is not transmitted to the engine because the one-way clutch is idling.
Therefore, the low coast brake solenoid is operated to prevent the forward one-way clutch from idling and
the engine brake is operated in the same manner as conventionally.
The operation of the low coast brake solenoid switches the low coast brake switching valve and controls
the coupling and releasing of the low coast brake.
The low coast brake reducing valve controls the low coast brake coupling force.
Control ValveNCS001JW
FUNCTION OF CONTROL VALVE
SCIA1520E
Name Function
Torque converter regulator valveIn order to prevent the pressure supplied to the torque converter from being excessive,
the line pressure is adjusted to the optimum pressure (torque converter operating pres-
sure).
Pressure regulator valve
Pressure regulator plug
Pressure regulator sleeveAdjusts the oil discharged from the oil pump to the optimum pressure (line pressure) for
the driving state.
Front brake control valveWhen the front brake is coupled, adjusts the line pressure to the optimum pressure
(front brake pressure) and supplies it to the front brake. (In 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 5th gears,
adjusts the clutch pressure.)
Accumulator control valveAdjusts the pressure (accumulator control pressure) acting on the accumulator piston
and low coast reducing valve to the pressure appropriate to the driving state.
Pilot valve AAdjusts the line pressure and produces the constant pressure (pilot pressure) required
for line pressure control, shift change control, and lock-up control.
Pilot valve BAdjusts the line pressure and produces the constant pressure (pilot pressure) required
for shift change control.
Low coast brake switching valve During engine braking, supplies the line pressure to the low coast brake reducing valve.
Low coast brake reducing valveWhen the low coast brake is coupled, adjusts the line pressure to the optimum pressure
(low coast brake pressure) and supplies it to the low coast brake.
N-R accumulator Produces the stabilizing pressure for when N-R is selected.
Direct clutch piston switching valve Operates in 4th gear and switches the direct clutch coupling capacity.
High and low reverse clutch control valveWhen the high and low reverse clutch is coupled, adjusts the line pressure to the opti-
mum pressure (high and low reverse clutch pressure) and supplies it to the high and low
reverse clutch. (In 1st, 3rd, 4th and 5th gears, adjusts the clutch pressure.)

Line Pressure
Judgement of Line Pressure Test
Engine speedLine pressure [kPa (kg/cm
2 , psi)]
“R” position “D”, “M” positions
At idle speed 425 - 465 (4.3 - 4.7, 62 - 67) 379 - 428 (3.9 - 4.4, 55 - 62)
At stall speed 1,605 - 1,950 (16.4 - 19.9, 233 - 283) 1,310 - 1,500 (13.4 - 15.3, 190 - 218)
Judgement Possible cause
Idle speedLow for all positions
(“P”, “R”, “N”, “D”, “M”)Possible causes include malfunctions in the pressure supply system and low oil pump out-
put.
For example
Oil pump wear
Pressure regulator valve or plug sticking or spring fatigue
Oil strainer oil pump pressure regulator valve passage oil leak
Engine idle speed too low
Only low for a specific
positionPossible causes include an oil pressure leak in a passage or device related to the position
after the pressure is distributed by the manual valve.
HighPossible causes include a sensor malfunction or malfunction in the line pressure adjustment
function.
For example
Accelerator pedal position signal malfunction
A/T fluid temperature sensor malfunction
Line pressure solenoid malfunction (sticking in OFF state, filter clog, cut line)
Pressure regulator valve or plug sticking
Stall speedOil pressure does not
rise higher than the oil
pressure for idle.Possible causes include a sensor malfunction or malfunction in the pressure adjustment
function.
For example
Accelerator pedal position signal malfunction
TCM breakdown
Line pressure solenoid malfunction (shorting, sticking in ON state)
Pressure regulator valve or plug sticking
Pilot valve sticking or pilot filter clogged
The pressure rises, but
does not enter the stan-
dard position.Possible causes include malfunctions in the pressure supply system and malfunction in the
pressure adjustment function.
For example
Accelerator pedal position signal malfunction
Line pressure solenoid malfunction (sticking, filter clog)
Pressure regulator valve or plug sticking
Pilot valve sticking or pilot filter clogged
Only low for a specific
positionPossible causes include an oil pressure leak in a passage or device related to the position
