TRANSMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (JR405E) 7A2-111
D2: Gearshift Frequently
Diagnosis Hints• When inspecting faulty gear shifting, it is important to distinguish between
the fault of the electric system and transmission main unit.
• Fault of electric system. - Monitor the output signal (each solenoid driving signal) using a scan tool. If a trouble signal is sent to the solenoid synchronously with the faulty
gear shifting, the fault is originated in the electric system.
- Monitor the input signal (signal from each sensor) using a scan tool and find an input signal which has an output signal (each solenoid driving
signal) subjected to a fault.
- Fault of the electric system may be derived from temperature or vibration. For instance, although the engine is normal while it is cold, fault may
occur when the engine is warmed up or the vehicle is running.
• Fault of mechanical system. - If the gear is incorrectly shifted, irrespective of the operating signal (On/ Off) of each solenoid, the fault is originated from the transmission main
unit.
- If the clutch slips, or the transmission fluid smells burnt or is contaminated or black, or the stall speed increases. Gear ratio error DTC might be set.
Transmission Range Switch & Selector
Lever Cable Checks Inspect the transmission range switch and selector lever cable for misadjusting
or disordering. Refer to On-Vehicle Service section.
Transmission Fluid Checks Inspect the transmission fluid for the following conditions. If the transmission fluid
is extremely blacked, contaminated or smells burnt, slipping of clutch is
suspected.
• Low quantity
• Contamination
•Smell
Line Pressure Checks Inspect the line pressure in forward ranges for a possible dropped pressure.
Refer to Line Pressure Test in Test Instruction section.
Stall Speed Checks Inspect the stall speed in forward ranges. Refer to Stall Test in Test Instruction
section.
Control Valve Body Checks Inspect the valve body for the following conditions.
• Faulty operation
• Sticking spool valve
• Sticking shift solenoid valve. Perform function check. Refer to On-Vehicle Service section.
• Faulty operation of transmission fluid pressure switch. Perform function check. Refer to On-Vehicle Service section.
• Clogged hydraulic circuit

Employing the direct electronic control (Direct
Electronic Shift Control: DESC) for the clutch pressure
has simplified the oil pressure circuit, reduced the
number of functional components and made the control
valve compact. The control valve body is divided into
the upper body and the lower body. All solenoid valves,
the transmission fluid pressure (TFP) switch and the
transmission fluid temperature (TFT) sensor are
installed to the lower body. Three-way valve type
solenoid valves providing high responsibility are
employed. The pressure control (PC) solenoid valve is
switched between ON and OFF, and other solenoid valves repeat ON and OFF at 50Hz (duty cycle). When
the solenoid valve is driven based on the signal from
the TCM, the fluid pressure is changed.

Pressure Control (PC) Solenoid Valve
The pressure control (PC) solenoid valve controls the
transmission fluid supply to the pressure regulator
spool valve in the valve body. The TCM controls the
solenoid valve by ON/ OFF signal based on the vehicle
running conditions. The TCM turns ON the solenoid
valve when a lower line pressure is required and turns
OFF when a higher line pressure is required. With the
operation of this solenoid valve, the operation and shift
of the hydraulic circuit in the transmission can be
performed smoothly. The PC solenoid valve is
controlled according to the range position, speed
sensor signals, transmission fluid temperature signal
and the accelerator pedal position signal. Shift Solenoid Valve

All shift solenoid valve is a duty cycle type, which is
turned ON and OFF at 50 Hz. The ration of ON and
OFF time can be freely controlled within 0 to 100%.
While no power is supplied, the solenoid valve supplies
output pressure. The low clutch solenoid valve adjusts
the low clutch pressure, the high clutch solenoid valve
adjusts the high clutch pressure, the 2-4 brake solenoid
valve adjusts the 2-4 brake pressure, and the low &
reverse brake solenoid valve adjusts the low & reverse
brake pressure respectively.

The torque converter clutch (TCC) solenoid valve is a

The ration of ON and OFF time can be freely controlled
within 5 to 95%. While no power is supplied, the
solenoid valve drains the output pressure.

The transmission fluid pressure (TFP) switch detects
the condition of the fluid pressure supply to the clutch
and brake, and then sends the result to the TCM. The
TFP switch is turned ON when the fluid pressure
reaches the switch working pressure, and turned OFF
when the fluid pressure decreases below the specified
value. The high clutch TFP switch detects the high
clutch fluid pressure, the 2-4 brake TFP switch detects
the 2-4 brake fluid pressure, and the low & reverse
brake TFP switch detects the low & reverse brake fluid
pressure respectively.

TRANSMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (JR405E) 7A2-159
Based on each transmission fluid pressure (TFP)
switch signal and each speed sensor signal and the
accelerator pedal angle, the duty cycle type shift
solenoid valve adjusts the clutch pressure to match the
engine load and vehicle running conditions. Controlling
the engagement and disengagement of the clutch and
brake pressure is directly and accurately controlled via
TCM, which is different to the conventional accumulator
type. Instead of the conventional system (On/ Off type
shift solenoid valve and shift valve), the combination of
the duty cycle type solenoid valve and the amplifier
(AMP) valve are used to adjust the clutch pressure to
match the engine load and vehicle driving conditions,
based on the signal from the TCM. Also, the TFP
switch provided in the fluid passage of the control valve
transmits to TCM, enabling the engagement and
disengagement control of the clutch and brake to be
directly and finely. When the gear is shifted from the
2nd to 3rd, 3rd to 4th, 4th to 3rd and 3rd to 2nd, the
clutch pressures on the engagement side and
disengagement side are simultaneously controlled. As
a result, engine racing or clutch drag is prevented
which enables a smooth and quick shift response.
