A/T CONTROL SYSTEM
TCM Function
INFOID:0000000005148510
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 vehicle operating conditions through vari ous sensors or signals. It always
controls the optimum shift position and reduces shifting and lock-up shocks.

CONTROL SYSTEM DIAGRAM
CAN CommunicationINFOID:0000000005148511
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line 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".

Input/Output Signal of TCM
INFOID:0000000005148512
*1: Spare for output speed sensor
*2: Spare for accelerator pedal position signal
*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:0000000005148513
• 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.
