FUNCTION OF CONTROL VALVES
Centrifugal Cancel MechanismINFOID:0000000001703171
FUNCTION
The centrifugal cancel mechanism is a mechanism to cancel the centrifugal hydraulic pressure instead of the
conventional check balls. It cancels the centrifugal hydraulic pressure which is generated as high clutch drum
rotates, and it allows for preventing high clutch from dragging and for providing stable high clutch piston press-
ing force in all revolution speeds.
STRUCTURE/OPERATION
Valve name Function
Pressure regulator valve, plug and sleeve
plugRegulates oil discharged from the oil pump to provide optimum line pressure for all driving
conditions.
Pressure modifier valve and sleeve Used as a signal supplementary valve to the pressure regulator valve. Regulates pres-
sure-modifier pressure (signal pressure) which controls optimum line pressure for all driv-
ing conditions.
Pilot valve Regulates line pressure to maintain a constant pilot pressure level which controls lock-up
mechanism, overrun clutch, shift timing.
Accumulator control valve Regulates accumulator back-pressure to pressure suited to driving conditions.
Manual valve Directs line pressure to oil circuits corresponding to select positions.
Hydraulic pressure drains when the shift lever is in Neutral.
Shift valve A Simultaneously switches three oil circuits using output pressure of shift solenoid valve A
to meet driving conditions (vehicle speed, throttle opening, etc.).
Provides automatic downshifting and upshifting (1st → 2nd → 3rd → 4th gears/4th → 3rd
→ 2nd → 1st gears) in combination with shift valve B.
Shift valve B Simultaneously switches two oil circuits using output pressure of shift solenoid valve B in
relation to driving conditions (vehicle speed, throttle opening, etc.).
Provides automatic downshifting and upshifting (1st → 2nd → 3rd → 4th gears/4th → 3rd
→ 2nd → 1st gears) in combination with shift valve A.
Overrun clutch control valve Switches hydraulic circuits to prevent engagement of the overrun clutch simultaneously
with application of the brake band in D
4. (Interlocking occurs if the overrun clutch engages
during D
4.)
1st reducing valve Reduces low & reverse brake pressure to dampen engine-brake shock when downshift-
ing from the 1st position 1
2 to 11.
Overrun clutch reducing valve Reduces oil pressure directed to the overrun clutch and prevents engine-brake shock.
In the 1st and 2nd positions, line pressure acts on the overrun clutch reducing valve to
increase the pressure-regulating point, with resultant engine brake capability.
Torque converter relief valve Prevents an excessive rise in torque converter pressure.
Torque converter clutch control valve, plug
and sleeveActivates or inactivates the lock-up function.
Also provides smooth lock-up through transient application and release of the lock-up
system.
1-2 accumulator valve and piston Lessens the shock find when the 2nd gear band servo contracts, and provides smooth
shifting.
3-2 timing valve Switches the pace that oil pressure is released depending on vehicle speed; maximizes
the high clutch release timing, and allows for soft downshifting.
Shuttle valve Determines if the overrun clutch solenoid valve should control the 3-2 timing valve or the
overrun clutch control valve and switches between the two.
Cooler check valve At low speeds and with a small load when a little heat is generated, saves the volume of
cooler flow, and stores the oil pressure for lock-up.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
●: Solenoid ON
×: Solenoid OFF
–: Non-standard condition
Line Pressure Solenoid Valve
If non-standard solenoid signal is sent to TCM, line pressure solenoid valve is turned OFF to achieve maxi-
mum oil pressure.
Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid Valve
If non-standard solenoid signal is sent to TCM, torque converter clutch solenoid valve is turned OFF to release
lock-up.
Overrun Clutch Solenoid Valve
If non-standard solenoid signal is sent to TCM, overrun clutch solenoid valve is turned OFF to engage overrun
clutch. This will result in more effective engine brake during deceleration.
How to Perform Trouble Diagnosis for Quick and Accurate RepairINFOID:0000000001703179
INTRODUCTION
The TCM receives a signal from the vehicle speed sensor, accelera-
tor pedal position sensor or PNP switch and provides shift control or
lock-up control via A/T solenoid valves.
The TCM also communicates with the ECM by means of a signal
sent from sensing elements used with the OBD-related parts of the
A/T system for malfunction-diagnostic purposes. The TCM is capa-
ble of diagnosing malfunctioning parts while the ECM can store mal-
functions in its memory.
Input and output signals must always be correct and stable in the
operation of the A/T system. The A/T system must be in good oper-
ating condition and be free of valve seizure, solenoid valve malfunc-
tion, etc.
It is much more difficult to diagnose a malfunction that occurs intermittently rather than continuously. Most
intermittent malfunctions are caused by poor electric connections or improper wiring. In this case, careful
checking of suspected circuits may help prevent the replacement of good parts.

INTELLIGENT KEY SYSTEM
System Description
INFOID:0000000001703999
• The Intelligent Key system is a system that makes it possible to lock and unlock the door locks (door lock/
unlock function), and start the engine (engine start function) by carrying around the Intelligent Key (without
some key operation), which operates based on the results of electronic ID verification using two-way com-
munications between the Intelligent Key and the vehicle (Intelligent Key unit).
• Vehicles equipped with a manual transmission include a key interlock solenoid located in the steering col-
umn to prevent accidental shut-off of the ignition switch and locking of the steering wheel during driving con-
dition when the vehicle is moving.
CAUTION:
The driver should always carry the Intelligent Key
• Operation of the remote controller buttons on the Intelligent Key also provides the same functions as the
remote control entry system. (Remote keyless entry functions)
• If an action that does not meet the operating conditions of the Intelligent Key system is taken, the buzzer
goes off to inform the driver. (Warning chime functions)
• When a door lock is locked or unlocked with request switch or remote controller button operation, the hazard
lamps flash and the buzzer (outside vehicle) sounds (Hazard and buzzer reminder function).
• Even if the Intelligent Key battery is completely discharged, the door locks can be locked and unlocked and
the engine started with the mechanical key built into the Intelligent Key.
• The settings for each function can be changed with the CONSULT-III.
• If an Intelligent Key is lost, a new Intelligent Key can be registered. A maximum of 4 Intelligent Keys can be
registered.
• It has been made possible to diagnose the system and register an Intelligent Key with the CONSULT-III.
DOOR LOCK/UNLOCK FUNCTION
Only when pressing the request switch, it is possible to lock and unlock the door by carrying around the Intelli-
gent Key (without some key operation).
System Diagram
Operation Description
• When the Intelligent Key unit detects that each request switch is pressed, it starts the outside key antenna
and inside key antenna corresponding to the pressed request switch and sends the request signal to the
Intelligent Key. And then, make sure that the Intelligent Key is near door.
• If the Intelligent Key is within the outside key antenna detection area, it receives the request signal and
sends the key ID signal to the Intelligent Key unit.
• Intelligent Key unit receives the key ID signal and compares it with the registered key ID.
• If the key ID check result is OK, the Intelligent Key unit sends the door lock/unlock request signal to BCM
(Body control module) via CAN communication line.
• Intelligent Key unit sends the door lock/unlock signal and sounds Intelligent Key warning buzzer (lock: 2
times, unlock: 1 time) at the same time.
• When BCM receives the door lock/unlock signal, it operates door lock actuator and flashes the hazard warn-
ing lamp (lock: 2 times, unlock: 1 time) at the same time as reminder.
