TRANSMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (JR405E) 7A2-151
The transmission fluid temperature (TFT) sensor is part
of the harness assembly. The sensor is a variable
resistor and it measures the temperature of the
transmission fluid. When the TFT sensor is cold, the
sensor resistance is high. When the transmission fluid
temperature increases, the sensor resistance
decreases. With high sensor resistance, the TCM
detects a high voltage on the signal circuit. With lower
sensor resistance, the TCM detects a lower voltage on
the signal circuit.
If the fluid temperature increases to 135 °C (275 °F), the
TCM illuminates A/T Oil Temp lamp on the instrument
panel cluster. When the fluid temperature deceases
below 125 °C (257 °F), the lamp goes off.
Transmission Range (TR) Switch
Legend 1. Input shaft speed (ISS) sensor
2. Output shaft speed (OSS) sensor
3. TR switch
4. In-line harness connector
The transmission range (TR) switch is connected to the
transmission manual shaft and installed externally to
the transmission case. The selector lever moves the
TR switch position via control cable. The TR switch
relays a signal to the TCM indicating transmission
range position by detecting ignition voltage through an
internal switch. Only one of the seven internal switches
will close for each P, R, N, D, 3, 2 and L position.
Normally, the TCM expects to detect one high voltage
input for each position.
The engine will not crank when the selector lever is at
any position other than the P or N range.
Input Shaft Speed (ISS) Sensor
Legend 1. ISS sensor
2. Reverse & high clutch drum
The input shaft speed (ISS) sensor is located on right-
hand of the transmission case. The ISS sensor is a hall
effect element type sensor, which generates a square
wave signal pulse based on the reverse & high clutch
drum rotational speed (32 pulses per a rotation of the
reverse & high clutch drum that is fitted with the input
shaft by spline). The TCM calculates the turbine speed
by the ISS sensor signal, and uses it to calculate torque
converter slip speed and gear ratio.

TCM Input & Output
TCM Voltage Description
The TCM supplies a buffered voltage to various
switches and sensors. The TCM can do this because
resistance in the TCM is so high in value that a test
lamp may not illuminate when connected to the circuit.
An ordinary shop voltmeter may not give an accurate
reading because the voltmeter input impedance is too
low. Use a 10-megaohm input impedance DMM, to
ensure accurate voltage readings. The input and/ or
output devices in the TCM include analog-to-digital
converters, signal buffers, counters, and special
drivers. The TCM controls most components with
electronic switches which complete a ground circuit
when turned ON.
Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Electronic components used in the TCM are often
designed to carry very low voltage. Electronic
components are susceptible to damage caused by
electrostatic discharge. By comparison, as much as
4,000 volts may be needed for a person to feel even
the zap of a static discharge. There are several ways
for a person to become statically charged. The most
common methods of charging are by friction and
induction.
• An example of charging by friction is a person sliding across a vehicle seat.
Important: To prevent possible electrostatic discharge
damage, follow these guidelines:
• Do not touch the TCM connector pins or soldered components on the TCM circuit board.
• Do not open the replacement part package until the part is ready to be installed.
• Before removing the part from the package, ground the package to a known good ground on
the vehicle.
• If the part has been handled while sliding across the seat, while sitting down from a standing
position, or while walking a distance, touch a
known good ground before installing the part.
• Charge by induction occurs when a person with well insulated shoes stands near a highly charged
object and momentarily touches ground. Charges
of the same polarity are drained off leaving the
person highly charged with opposite polarity.

Down Slope Mode
Condition for setting the down slope mode shift map;
All of the following conditions are met:
• Brake pedal switch is depressed
• Accelerator pedal is released
• Vehicle speed is more than 60 km/h (36 MPH)
• Increment of vehicle speed is more than 1 km/h (1 MPH) per second
• Selector lever is D or 3 range
Condition for canceling the down slope mode shift map;
Either of the following condition is met:
• Accelerator pedal is depressed
• Selector lever is other than D or 3 range Power Drive Mode
When the power drive switch is ON, the TCM switches
shift map to the power drive mode map and performs
gearshift control from 1st to 4th to gain more
acceleration compared with normal mode.
Up Slope Mode
Up slope reasoning value is calculated from the
averaged accelerator pedal angle and the averaged
acceleration. Otherwise, up slope reasoning value is
calculated from the vehicle speed. The TCM selects a
up slope mode when the former is bigger than the
latter.

7A2-158 TRANSMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (JR405E)
The TCM controls the torque converter clutch (TCC)
solenoid valve based on the accelerator pedal angle,
input shaft speed, output shaft speed and transmission
fluid temperature.
Smooth lock up control is employed to engage or
disengage the TCC smoothly at the time of lock up On
or Off. When the TCM determines the TCC
engagement, the solenoid valve control duty cycle
(pulse width modulation [PWM]) signal is gradually
increased (5% to 95%) and the transmission fluid
between the TCC piston and torque converter front
cover is gradually drained. As a result, the TCC piston
is fitted slowly to the torque converter front cover under
fluid pressure securing smooth lock up engagement. The lock up control does not start when the
transmission fluid temperature is less than 20 °C (68 °F)
even though the vehicle is at the lock up control speed
area. The lock up control disengages when the
accelerator pedal angle is released.

The driving force from the input shaft (1) is transmitted
to the rear sun gear (5) and reverse & high clutch drum.
As the low clutch (14) is engaged, the movement of the
rear internal gear (7) is restricted. Since the low one-
way clutch (16) acts at the same time,
counterclockwise rotations of the rear internal gear (7)
are locked. As a result, the driving force transmitted to
the rear sun gear (5) rotates the rear planetary carrier
(13) clockwise, then the rotation speed is decreased
and multiple forces is transmitted to the output shaft (8). When decelerating, the rotating speed of the rear
planetary carrier (13) (rear pinion gear [6]) is higher
than that of the rear sun gear (5) and the rear internal
gear (7) attempts to rotate clockwise. At this time, the
low one-way clutch (16) does not act but races, and
therefore the rear internal gear (7) rotates clockwise.
The reverse torque from the driving shaft is not
transmitted to the engine side and the engine brake
does not act.

The basic mechanism is the same as in the D, 3, and 2
ranges. To apply the engine brake, the low & reverse
brake (15) is engaged to restrict the movement of the
low one-way clutch (16).
When decelerating, as the rear internal gear (7) is
fixed, reverse torque from the propeller shaft is
transmitted to the engine side so that the engine brake
is applied.

Inspect
1. Check the drain plug tip for adhesion of foreign
substances.
2. Check the drained ATF for color, smell and inclusion of foreign substances.
3. Check the oil pan bottom and magnet for adhesion o
