CONSTRUCTION AND FUNCTION 7A1-17
ATF Thermo Sensor • The ATF thermo sensor detects the ATF temperature in the oil pan and sends a signal to the TCM.
• The ATF thermo sensor is of the thermister type and the resistance value changes according to the ATF
oil temperature.
• When the ATF temperature is cold, the sensor resistance is high. When the ATF temperature increases,
the sensor resistance decreases.
• When the ATF temperature increases to 135 °C (275 °F), the TCM lights up the ATF temperature warning
lamp in the meter. When the ATF temperature decreases below 125 °C (257 °F), the ATF temperature
warning lamp switches off.
• The ATF thermo sensor is installed to the lower control valve body and integrated with the harness
assembly.

PARKING FUNCTION
• By setting the select lever to the P position, the parking pawl is engaged with the parking gear and fixes
the output shaft.
• By moving the select lever, the manual shaft on the right side of the AT is moved. The manual plate and
parking rod in the AT are interlocked with the manual shaft. When the manual shaft moves, the parking
rod end pushes up the parking pawl.
• The parking pawl is engaged with the parking gear when pushed up, and fixes the output shaft.
• When the clutch is disengaged, it returns to the original position via the force of the return spring, fixed to
the parking pawl.

7A1-26 CONSTRUCTION AND FUNCTION
CONTROL MECHANISM
CONTENT OF FUNCTION AND CONTROL
Item Description
Line pressure control TCM issues a signal according to vehicle travel, engine load and other conditions, which
drives the ON/OFF type line pressure solenoid to switch the line pressure to high or low
pressure.
The line pressure solenoid is switched to the low pressure side when the solenoid is turned
ON (power supplied) and to the high pressure side when turned OFF (no power supplied).
In the forward travel position (D, 3, 2, L position), the line pressure decreases lower than
that in the P, N, and R position through the oil pressure circuit.
Gear shift control The TCM issues a shift solenoid drive signal based on the traveling mode switch, inhibitor
switch, the vehicle speed, the APP opening and other input signals, to control the optimum
gear position automatically.
Shift features have been set up to the TCM; the normal mode is suited to normal travel, and
the power mode is used when the vehicle is loaded or the speed accelerated.
In addition, shift features used only for high oil temperature, hill climbing, and downward
travel have been set up to the TCM. These are automatically switched depending on the
travel conditions.
W hen the oil temperature is low (10°C or less), shifting up from the third speed to the fourth
speed is prohibited by the gear shift control.

- Power Mode -
W hen the power drive switch is On the shift pattern change is performed by 1 – 4 speed
based on shift diagram set as power pattern .
- Up slope mode -
Up-slope reasoning value is calculated from the average APP angle and the average
acceleration. Otherwise, up-slope reasoning value is calculated from the vehicle speed.
TCM chooses up-slope mode when the former is bigger than the latter.
Lock-up control The lock-up solenoid adjusts the pressure to control the lock-up according to the signal
from the TCM. This signal is based on the vehicle speed, APP opening and other input
signals based on the pre-set lock-up point.
Smooth lock-up control engages and disengages the clutch smoothly at the time of lock-up.
W hen the oil temperature is low (20°C or less), lock-up is prohibited even when the vehicle
is at a lock-up speed.
The lock-up is also disengaged when the APP is closed.
Direct electronic shift
control (DESC)
The duty cycle type solenoid is used for each clutch and brake. The solenoid adjusts the
clutch pressure to suit the engine load and vehicle traveling condition based on the signal
from the TCM. The pressure switch provided in the control valve oil passage sends the oil
pressure condition to the TCM, which controls the disengagement or engagement of the
clutch and brake directly and finely.

7A1-28 CONSTRUCTION AND FUNCTION
Item Description
Learning function The learning function is provided to correct the oil pressure control timing to engage or
disengage the clutch optimally in order to compensate changes of the engine performance
and changes of the transmission with time. It is controlled to bring the shift time closer to
the value pre-set to the TCM.
Fail-safe function In the case of a malfunction of the vehicle speed sensor, APP sensor, all solenoids or the
inhibitor switch, TCM automatically begins fail-safe control to minimize effects on driving.
The gear is fixed in 3rd gear and the power supply to the solenoid is shut off so that the
solenoid does not work. Lock up clutch is disengaged in this mode.
Self-diagnosis function Parts required for controlling the automatic transmission are provided with a self-diagnosis
function. W hen any trouble occurs, the check trans indicator lamp blinks to warn the driver.
The trouble code is memorized in the TCM.
