7A2-144 TRANSMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (JR405E)
The JR405E automatic transmission is electrically
controlled by a transmission control module (TCM).
There are four forward speeds and one reverse speed.
This JR405E automatic transmission employs a clutch
pressure direct control system (Direct Electronic Shift
Control: DESC) using duty cycle type solenoid valves,
which ensure high shift quality. This transmission also
has a learning function and constantly checks the time
of each clutch and brake required for the shift in order
to match this time with the target value for the optimum
shift. The TCM will automatically select the most
appropriate shift points and lock-up points depending
on the accelerator pedal opening, the vehicle speed
and the vehicle load. If any trouble arises in the speed
sensor, solenoid valve, etc., the fail-safe control
function is activated to keep the running performance.
The JR405E automatic transmission consists of the
torque converter, oil pump, input shaft, out put shaft,
planetary gears and valve body. The gear train consists
of two planetary gear sets and three multiple plate
clutches in combination with two multiple plate brakes
and a one-way clutch.

Legend
1. Pump impeller
2. Turbine runner
3. Stator
4. Converter front cover
5. One-way clutch
6. Torque converter clutch (TCC) piston
7. Torsion damper
The torque converter is a device for transmitting the
engine torque to the transmission. It transmits power by
means of oil when the lock up clutch is disengaged,
and by means of a lock up clutch when it is engaged. The torque converter is of the symmetrical, three-
element, single-stage, two-phase type. As shown in the
picture, the symmetrical three-elements refer to three
elements (components) consisting of impeller (1),
turbine (2) and stator (3) that are arranged
symmetrically. Single-stage means that there is only
one turbine as an output element; two-phase means
that the pump impeller acts as a torque converter when
the turbine speed is comparatively low, and as a fluid
coupling when the speed is high. Lock up refers to a
fixed state of the lock up clutch (=torque converter
clutch (TCC) inside the torque converter and thus
connects the engine directly to the transmission.

7A2-156 TRANSMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (JR405E)
Gearshift Control & Shift Map Selection
The TCM commands each shift solenoid valve based
on the traveling mode switch (power drive/ 3rd start),
transmission range switch, the vehicle speed, the
accelerator pedal angle and other input signals, to
control the optimum gear position automatically. Shift
features have been set up to the TCM as shift map; 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 transmission fluid temperature, hill climbing, and
downward travel have been set up to the TCM. These
are automatically switched depending on the driving
conditions. When the transmission fluid temperature is
lower than 10 °C (50 °F), gearshift from the 3rd to the
4th is inhibited.
Shift Map
The TCM selects either of the following shift map
depending on the driving conditions. High Temperature Mode
Condition for setting the high temperature mode shift
map;
• Transmission fluid temperature is more than 122 °C
(252 °F) for 10 seconds.
Condition for canceling the high temperature mode shift
map;
• Transmission fluid temperature is less than 115 °C
(239 °F) for 10 seconds
Notice: High temperature mode may be set with
driving conditions other than the setting condition met
in order to protect from a thermal damage.
3rd Start Mode
Condition for setting the 3rd start mode shift map;
All of the following conditions are met:
• 3rd start switch is pressed
• Vehicle speed is less than 11 km/h (7 MPH)
• Transmission fluid is less than 115 °C (239 °F)
• Accelerator pedal position is less than 8%
• Selector lever is D range
Condition for canceling the 3rd start mode shift map;
Either of the following condition is met:
• 3rd start switch is pressed again
• Vehicle speed is more than 34 km/h (21 MPH)
• Selector lever is other than D range
4L Mode
Condition for setting the 4L mode shift map;
All of the following conditions are met:
• 4L switch is On
• Vehicle speed is more than 5 km/h (3 MPH)
Condition for canceling the 4L mode shift map;
Either of the following condition is met:
• 4L switch is On
• Vehicle speed is more than 5 km/h (3 MPH)

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
f
foreign substances.
If a problem is discovered during those checks, the Automatic transmission must be overhauled.
Note:
The torque converter and the oil strainer need replacing
with new ones if the drained ATF contains large
amounts of metallic or facing flakes.
In addition, flush the ATF cooler circuit.
