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.
Item Details
Weight Reduction 1. Aluminum oil pump
a. 2.3kg Approx
2. Pressed parts a. Retainer and hub of brakes and clutches
b. Carrier of planetary gear set
Better shift quality 1. Independent control of clutches and brakes enabled better control of
hydraulic pressure and skiped shifts (4 to 2, 3 to 1)
2. During N to D or N to R shift, feedback control adopted.
3. When starting from Creep condition, reduction of shock.(Creep condition is
controlled with 1st gear)
4. Solenoid valve frequency is increased for more accurate control. 35Hz to
61.3Hz except DCCSV that is 35Hz and VFS that is 600Hz.
5. HIVEC adoption for better shift feeling.
6. Variable shift pattern.
Increase in Power train efficiency 1. Fully Variable Line Pressure
2. VFS(Variable Force Solenoid)
- Manual shifting possible
- Step gate type shift lever

TORQUE CONVERTER STALL TEST
This test measures the maximum engine speed when the selector lever is in the D or R position. The torque converter
stalls to test the operation of the torque converter, starter motor, one- way clutch operation, the holding performance of
the clutches, and brakes in the transaxle.
Do not let anybody stand in front of or behind the vehicle while this test is being carried out
1. Check the automatic transmission fluid level and temperature, and the engine coolant temperature.
a. Fluid level : At the HOT mark on the oil level gauge
b. Fluid temperature : 80~100°C (176~212°F)
c. Engine coolant temperature : 80~100°C(176~212°F)
2. Prevent all the wheels from moving during the test.
3. Pull the parking brake lever up, with the brake pedal fully depressed.
4. Start the engine.

SERVICE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
Automatic transaxle fluid
INSPECTION 1. Drive the vehicle until the fluid reaches normal operating temperature [70~80°C].
2. Place the vehicle on a level surface.
3. Move the selector lever through all gear positions. This will fill the torque converter and the hudraulic system with
fluid and move the selector lever to the "N" (Neutral) or "P"(Park) position.
4. Before removing the oil level gauge, wipe all contaminants from around the oil level gauge. Then take out the oil
level gauge and check the condition of the fluid.
If the fluid smells as if it is burning, it means that the fluid has been contaminated by fine particles from the
bushes and friction materials, a transaxle overhaul may be necessary.
5. Check that the fluid level is at the HOT mark on the oil level gauge. If the fluid level is low, add automatic transaxle
fluid until the level reaches the "HOT" mark.
Auto transaxle fluid:
DIAMOND ATF SP - III, SK ATF SP - III
Quantity : 8.5ℓ (9.0 US qt, 7.5 lmp.qt)
Low fluid level can cause a variety of a abnormal conditions because it allows the pump to take in air along
with fluid. Air trapped in the hydraulic system forms bubbles, which are compressable. Therefore, pressures
will be erratic, causing delayed shifting ,slipping clutches and brakes, etc. Improper filling can also raise fluid
level too high. When the transaxle has too much fluid, gears churn up foam and acuise the same conditions
which occur with low fluid level, resulting in accelerated deterioration of automatic transaxle fluid. In either
case, air bubbles can cause overheating, and fluid oxidation, which can interfere with normal valve, clutch, and
brake operation. Foaming can also result in fluid escaping from the transaxle vent where it may be mistaken
for a leak.
6. Insert the oil level gauge(A) securely.
When new, automatic transmission fluid should be red. The red dye is added so the assembly plant can
identify it as transmission fluid and distinguish it from engine oil or antifreeze. The red dye, which is not an
indicator of fluid quality, is not permanent. As the vehicle is driven the transmission fluid will begin to look
darker. The color may eventually appear light brown.
