A/T CONTROL SYSTEM
Control Valve
INFOID:0000000001703170
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
Line Pressure
Judgement of Line Pressure Test
Road TestINFOID:0000000001703183
DESCRIPTION
• The purpose of the test is to determine overall performance of A/T
and analyze causes of malfunctions.
• The road test consists of the following three parts:
1. Check before engine is started. Refer to AT- 5 3
.
2. Check at idle. Refer to AT- 5 3
.
3. Cruise test
• Inspection all the item from Part 1 to Part 3. Refer to AT- 5 5
,
AT- 5 8
and AT- 5 9 .
Engine speedLine pressure [kPa (kg/cm
2 , psi)]
D, 2nd and 1st positions R position
Idle speed 500 (5.1, 73) 778 (7.9, 113)
Stall speed 1,173 (12.0, 170) 1,825 (18.6, 265)
Judgement Suspected parts
At idleLine pressure is low in all positions. • Oil pump wear
• Control piston damage
• Pressure regulator valve or plug sticking
• Spring for pressure regulator valve damaged
• Fluid pressure leakage between oil strainer and pressure regulator valve
• Clogged strainer
Line pressure is low in particular posi-
tion.• Fluid pressure leakage between manual valve and particular clutch
• For example, line pressure is:
− Low in “R” and “1” positions, but
− Normal in “D”, and “2” positions.
Therefore, fluid leakage exists at or around low and reverse brake circuit.
Refer to AT- 1 9 , "
Shift Mechanism".
Line pressure is high. • Accelerator pedal position signal malfunction
• A/T fluid temperature sensor damaged
• Line pressure solenoid valve sticking
• Short circuit of line pressure solenoid valve circuit
• Pressure modifier valve sticking
• Pressure regulator valve or plug sticking
• Open in dropping resistor circuit
At stall
speedLine pressure is low. • Accelerator pedal position signal malfunction
• Line pressure solenoid valve sticking
• Short circuit of line pressure solenoid valve circuit
• Pressure regulator valve or plug sticking
• Pressure modifier valve sticking
• Pilot valve sticking

DTC P0734 A/T 4TH GEAR FUNCTION
DTC P0734 A/T 4TH GEAR FUNCTION
DescriptionINFOID:0000000001703246
• This malfunction will not be detected while the OD OFF indicator lamp is indicating another self-diagnosis
malfunction.
• This malfunction is detected when the A/T does not shift into fourth gear position or the torque converter
clutch does not lock up as instructed by the TCM. This is not caused by electrical malfunction (circuits open
or shorted) but by mechanical malfunction such as control valve sticking, improper solenoid valve operation,
malfunctioning oil pump or torque converter clutch, etc.
CONSULT-III Reference Value in Data Monitor ModeINFOID:0000000001703247
Remarks: Specification data are reference values.
On Board Diagnosis LogicINFOID:0000000001703248
• This is an OBD-II self-diagnostic item.
• Diagnostic trouble code “P0734 A/T 4TH GR FNCTN” with CONSULT-III is detected when A/T cannot be
shifted to the 4th gear position even if electrical circuit is good.
• This diagnosis monitors actual gear position by checking the torque converter slip ratio calculated by TCM
as follows:
Torque converter slip ratio = A x C/B
A: Output shaft revolution signal from revolution sensor
B: Engine speed signal from ECM
C: Gear ratio determined as gear position which TCM supposes
If the actual gear position is much lower than the position (4th) supposed by TCM, the slip ratio will be much
less than normal. In case the ratio does not reach the specified value, TCM judges this diagnosis malfunc-
tion.
This malfunction will be caused when shift solenoid valve A is stuck open or shift solenoid valve B is stuck
closed.
• Gear positions supposed by TCM are as follows.
In case of gear position with no malfunctions: 1, 2, 3 and 4 positions
In case of gear position with shift solenoid valve A stuck open: 2, 2, 3 and 3* positions
In case of gear position with shift solenoid valve B stuck closed: 1, 2, 2 and 1* positions to each gear position
above
*: “P0734 A/T 4TH GR FNCTN” is detected.
Possible CauseINFOID:0000000001703249
• Shift solenoid valve A
• Shift solenoid valve B
• Line pressure solenoid valve
• Each clutch
• Hydraulic control circuit

CAUTION:
• Always drive vehicle at a safe speed.
• If performing this “DTC Confirmation Procedure” again, always turn ignition switch OFF and wait at
least 10 seconds before continuing.
After the repair, perform the following procedure to confirm the malfunction is eliminated.

WITH CONSULT-III
1. Start engine and select “DATA MONITOR” mode for “A/T” with CONSULT-III.
2. Touch “START”.
3. Make sure that output voltage of A/T fluid temperature sensor is within the range below.
FLUID TEMP SE: 0.4 - 1.5 V
If out of range, drive vehicle to decrease voltage (warm up the fluid) or stop engine to increase voltage
(cool down the fluid).
4. Select “TCC S/V FNCTN P0744” of “DTC WORK SUPPORT” mode for “A/T” with CONSULT-III and touch
“START”.
