A/T CONTROL SYSTEM
TCM Function
INFOID:0000000003771808
The function of the TCM is to:
 Receive input signals sent from various switches and sensors.
 Determine required line pressure, shifting poi nt, lock-up operation, and engine brake operation.
 Send required output signals to the respective solenoids.
CONTROL SYSTEM OUTLINE
The automatic transmission senses v ehicle operating conditions through vari ous sensors or signals. It always
controls the optimum shift position and reduces shifting and lock-up shocks.

CAN CommunicationINFOID:0000000003771809
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication li ne for real time application. It is an on-vehicle mul-
tiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Many elec-
tronic control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with other
control units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control units are connected with 2
communication lines (CAN H line, CAN L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission with less wiring.
Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only. For details, refer to LAN-4,
"System Description".

*3: If these input and output signals are different, the TCM triggers the fail-safe function.
*4: CAN comm unications
*5: Used as a condition for starting self-diagnostics; if self-diagnostics are not started, it is judged that there is some kin d of error.
*6: A/T fluid temperature sensor 2 does not have any function.
Line Pressure ControlINFOID:0000000003771811
 When an input torque signal equivalent to the engine drive force is sent from the ECM to the TCM, the TCM controls the line pressure solenoid.

A/T CONTROL SYSTEM
The necessary and adequate line pressure for shift change is set.
For this reason, line pressure pattern setting corresponds to input
torque and gearshift selection. Also, line pressure characteristic is
set according to engine speed, during engine brake operation.
At Low Fluid Temperature
When the A/T fluid temperature drops below the prescribed tempera-
ture, in order to speed up the action of each friction element, the line
pressure is set higher than the normal line pressure characteristic.
Shift ControlINFOID:0000000003771812
The clutch pressure control solenoid is controlled by the signals from the switches and sensors. Thus, the
clutch pressure is adjusted to be appropriate to the engine load state and vehicle driving state. It becomes
possible to finely control the clutch hydraulic pressu re with high precision and a smoother shift change charac-
teristic is attained.
SHIFT CHANGE
The clutch is controlled with the optimum timing and oil pressure by the engine speed, engine torque informa-
tion, etc.
