Hydraulic Control System
DESCRIPTION
a.Better and smoother shift quality.
b. In order to prevent ATF leakage from the valve body or each elements, the exhaust ports have been grouped into
only one with an addition of a check ball.
c. If a failure occurs in its electric control, the switch valve and fail safe valve is able to move to enable 3rd speed
drive or reverse.
d. The hydraulic system consists of oil pump, regulator valve, solenoid valves, pressure control valve and valve body.
e. In order to control the optimal line pressure and inprove the efficiency of power transmission according to maximize
the efficiency of the oil pump, VFS(Variable Force Solenoid) valve has been added in the valve body hydralic
circuit.

fluctuated even though turns on or off the input signal. The electrical ‘time constant’ is much more fast than one of
mechanical so the frequency of VFS is extremely higher than the conventional PWM type.
Characteristics of Bosch VFS:
Supply pressure : 700~1600kPa
Control pressure: typically 600~0 kPa
Current range: typically 0~1,000 mA
Dither frequency: Up to 600 Hz
Dimension: 32 mm protrusion reach 42 mm
The reducing pressure will be supplied to the ‘Supply’ port of the VFS valve on the above illustration to control the line
pressure.
Reducing pressure
Function
As same as one of Alpha or Beta automatic transaxle system, this reducing valve length can be adjusted by rotating
the screw on the picture. As you rotate the screw toward clockwise by 90°, the reducing pressure will increase about
1.0bar. However, the reducing pressure is used just as a ‘supply pressure’ for the solenoid valves (except
Low&Reverse, Reduction and Damper Clutch control solen), so this may not be handled to rotate in the field service
shop. VFS is operated based on the ‘supply pressure’ and it outputs the ‘control pressure’ to control the regulator
valve indirectly. While developing the VFS system, the line pressure was used as a ‘supply pressure’ for VFS and
other solenoid valves but it has been changed into additional ‘reducing pressure’ because the line pressure is variably
changed by VFS so the control pressure becomes unstable and some hydraulic pressure oscillation occurred. That is

changed by VFS so the control pressure becomes unstable and some hydraulic pressure oscillation occurred. That is
why the reducing pressure has been added in the hydraulic circuit of VFS system for both 4th and 5th speed A/T.
The reducing pressure is about 6.5bar and this value does not be changed regardless of the driving or engine load
condition. Be sure that the conventional line pressure is used for the ‘supply pressure’ of Low&Reverse, Reduction
solenoid because the variable line pressure is not available at reverse range.
HYDRULIC PRESSURE TABLE
Under the constant current amount of VFS (200mA), the line pressure will become as below table. Be sure that the
following data can be achieved by specific special facility or device to check the performance of A/T assembly (not on
the vehicle), however we can refer the maximum pressure value according to each element.Solenoid valve Duty( Ë)

Description
The automatic transmission is a combination of 3 - element 2 - phase 1 - stage torque converter and double shaft
electrocally - controlled unit which provides 4 speeds forward and 1 reverse. To improve the efficiency of power
transmission, the line pressure control was changed applying “Variable Force Solenoid (VFS) valve” on this model.
However, adopting VFS on this model, the line pressure is variably changed according to TPS and the vehicle speed,
this will enable more improved efficiency of power transmission and fuel consumption.
Characteristics
Some of the characteristics include:
▶Different power transfer
▶Different component layout
▶New shift logic(HIVEC) to improve shift feeling
▶Position of Valve Body
▶Variable shift pattern
▶Communication protocol and method
▶Step gate type shift lever.
