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.
