307-01 -35 Transmission (AW81-40) 307-01 -35
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Engine speed
1 The engine speed is detected by the crankshaft
position (CKP) sensor and passed on to the PCM.
The engine speed is transmitted from the PCM via
the CAN
databus to the transmission control unit.
The transmission control unit uses this signal for:
Torque reduction during gearshifts,
Pressure control during gearshifts.
Engine load
The PCM determines a load signal which is
transmitted via the CAN
databus to the
transmission control unit.
The transmission control unit uses this signal for:
Torque reduction during gearshifts,
Pressure control during gearshifts,
Shift timing adaptation during upshifts,
Shift timing adaptation during shifts from 3rd to
4th gear,
Hill climb mode,
( ' Hill descent mode. ' ,
Torque reduction request signal
Before performing a gearshift, the transmission
control unit sends a signal via the CAN
databus to
the PCM requesting a torque reduction.
The PCM then reduces the engine torque, ensuring
that the gearshift is as smooth and judder-free as
possible.
Brake signal
The PCM receives a signal from the stoplamp
switch when the brake pedal is depressed.
This signal is transmitted via the CAN
databus to
the transmission control unit.
The transmission control unit uses this signal for:
Gearshift control,
Engagement of the TCC
Accelerator pedal position
The PCM receives the current accelerator pedal
position signal from the Accelerator Pedal Position
(APP) sensor.
This signal is transmitted via the CAN
databus to
the transmission control unit.
The transmission control unit uses this signal for:
Controlling the main line pressure,
Gearshift control,
Engagement of the TCC,
Shift timing adaptation during upshifts,
Shift timing adaptation during shifts from 3rd to
4th gear,
Shift timing adaptation during shifts from 4th to
3rd gear,
Avoidance of gearshift judder during
engagement of a transmission range,
Torque reduction when pulling away.
Coolant temperature
The coolant temperature is detected by the Engine
Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor and passed
on to the PCM.
This signal is transmitted via the CAN
databus to
the transmission control unit.
The transmission control unit uses this signal for:
Cold start mode,
Engagement of the TCC
Selector lever position
The transmission control unit transmits the selector
lever position to the instrument cluster.
The instrument cluster uses the signal to send a
request for a warning tone to the GEM when the
selector lever is not in position "P" and the driver's
door is opened.

TR sensor
The TR sensor serves to signal the currently
selected transmission range to the transmission
control unit.
It is a switch which transmits the selected
transmission range directly to the transmission
control unit.
In addition, the starter inhibit relay is actuated by
the PCM via the TR sensor when the selector lever
is in the positions "P" or
N.
In selector lever position "R the backup lamp relay
is also actuated via the TR sensor.

307-01 -39 Transmission (AW81-40) 307-01 -39
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
TFT sensor Overdrive switch
The TFT sensor is located in the oil pan on the
main control body and is part of the transmission
wiring harness.
It measures the current transmission fluid
temperature and sends the signal to the
transmission control unit.
The transmission control unit uses this signal for:
Cold start mode,
Engagement of the TCC,
Shift timing adaptation during upshifts,
' , Shift timing adaptation during shifts from 3rd to
4th gear,
Shift timing adaptation during shifts from 4th to
3rd gear,
Overheating protection mode.
Consequences of signal failure:
NoTCC,
no shift timing adaptation,
no 4th gear. The overdrive switch
is located on the selector
lever.
It allows the driver to suppress or enable gearshifts
into 4th gear when
"D" is selected.
The signal from the overdrive switch is transmitted
to the transmission control unit.
When gearshifts into 4th gear are suppressed, the
transmission control unit sends a corresponding
signal via the CAN
databus to the instrument
cluster. The instrument cluster then actuates the
overdrive indicator lamp.
Consequences of signal failure:
no suppression of gearshifts into 4th gear.

307-01 -40
DESCRIPTION AND
OPEMION
Driver's side door ajar switch
The door ajar switch is located in the door lock on
the driver's side.
When the door is closed a ground connection is
signalled to the transmission control unit.
When the door is opened this ground connection
is interrupted.
The transmission control unit uses the signal from
the driver's side door ajar switch to warn the driver
if the selector lever is not in position
"P" and the
driver's door is open.
In this case the transmission control unit transmits
the warning tone request via the CAN
databus to
the instrument cluster.
The instrument cluster passes this request on to
the GEM, which then generates a warning tone.
Consequences of signal failure:
no warning tone request.
Actuators
Main regulating valve
Item Description
I 1 I Main regulating valve I
The main regulating valve is a proportional valve
which converts the applied electric current into a
proportional hydraulic pressure.
The currentless state corresponds to maximum
pressure.
/
The main regulating valve is used to determine the
main line pressure and therefore the actuating
pressure for the clutches and brakes.
Consequences of signal failure:
hydraulic emergency running mode.
