Fault finding - Role of components
Role of main automatic transmission components
Automatic transmission computer:
The gearbox computer is used to manage the entire system.
Its role is to define the optimum operating mode for the automatic transmission (modify the torque transmitted to the
drive wheels by the automatic transmission), inform the driver (instrument panel, information display, buzzer) and
communicate with the other computers.
To carry out this function, the transmission computer takes account of:
–the operation of the gearbox,
–signals exchanged with other computers,
–driver requests.
Transmission oil temperature sensor:
Its role is to inform the automatic transmission computer of the transmission oil temperature.
Transmission input speed sensor:
Its role is to inform the automatic transmission computer of the turbine speed.
Transmission output speed sensor:
Its role is to inform the automatic transmission computer of the vehicle speed.
Brake light switch:
Its role is to inform the automatic transmission computer that the driver has depressed the brake pedal.
Multifunction switch:
Its role is to inform the automatic transmission computer of the gear lever position.
Shift-lock:
The role of this function is to lock the lever in position "P" and to immobilise the vehicle when stationary.
Solenoid valves:
The solenoid valves are fitted in the factory and cannot be removed from the hydraulic distributor to ensure optimum
gearbox operation, therefore they cannot be replaced separately.
The automatic transmission has two types of solenoid valve:
–2 "all or nothing" solenoid valves,
–6 "progressive" solenoid valves.
Of these 8 solenoid valves, 7 are used to control gear changes in automatic and manual modes, and one solenoid
valve controls the oil pressure in the automatic transmission hydraulic distributor.
Instrument panel display:
The purpose of this function is to manage the transmission of multiplex line signals required for the instrument panel
display.
On the instrument panel:
–a fault warning light,
–a message on the instrument panel in case of irregularity,
–an information display: gear lever position/gear engaged/brake pedal depressed indicator light/lever position in P
or N request indicator light.
On the gear lever:
–Position: P / R / N / D / M+/-,
–Shift-lock: lever lock.

"CONVERTER lock-up" FUNCTION:
Aim of this function: The aim of this function is to lock up the converter.
–lock-up/release definition:
The converter is a hydraulic clutch which provides a hydraulic connection between the engine and the automatic
transmission pressure plate.
The purpose of the lock-up function is to lock the turbine and the converter casing together, transforming a hydraulic
connection into a mechanical connection. The role of the lock-up function is to prevent slipping losses.
