System Operation
Smart Start
The PCM enables the starting process when a key
providing a valid code is read via the PATS. This
code is then verified in the GEM and compared
with the saved code. If this code is recognized as
correct, synchronization with other modules is
carried out. After successful synchronization, the
engine is cleared to start in the PCM. The PCM
connects earth to the starter relay, which then
connects power to the starter solenoid. As soon
as the engine reaches a certain speed, the PCM
disconnects the starter relay and so turns off the
starter. This protects the starter.
If the engine does not turn or turns only slowly, the
starting process is aborted by the PCM.
The starter is notactivated if:
• the engine is running (i.e. the engine speed is above a particular value),
• the PATS does not permit the engine to be started,
• the clutch pedal is not operated (vehicles with manual transmission),
• the gear selector level is not set to P or N (vehicles with automatic transmission),
• the brake pedal is not operated (vehicles with automatic transmission).
Emergency starting function
If the keyless vehicle system is unable to recognize
the passive key, the vehicle can be started via the
emergency starting function. In this case, there is a passive key mount on the
steering wheel. A PATS transmission/reception
unit is attached to this.
To start the engine, the passive key must be
inserted into the passive key mount. The Start/Stop
button can then be used to turn on the ignition and
start the engine as normal. To deactivate the
PATS, a transponder is fitted in the passive key,
which is read by the transmission/reception unit.

Knowing and Understanding Customer
Concerns
Knowing and understanding customer concerns is
necessary in order to perform diagnosis.
First of all, ask the customer under which operating
conditions the problem occurs. If possible, try to
reproduce the concern by road testing the vehicle
with the customer.
You should be familiar with the following operating
conditions:
• Engine operating state
– Cold, warm-up phase, or at operatingtemperature
• Ambient temperature – Below 0 °C (32 °F), 0 to 20 °C (32 to 68 °F),or above 20 °C (68 °F)
• Road conditions – Good, poor, or off-road
• Vehicle load status – Unloaded, loaded, or fully loaded
• Transaxle status in manual mode – Upshift, downshift, overrun or acceleration
Testing Possible Causes of Transmission
Control Faults
Before performing a symptom-based diagnosis,
first carry out checks to eliminate various other
potential causes of the fault.
These situations include:
• Battery state of charge
• Defective fuses • Loose or corroded cables or electrical
connectors
• Ground connections to the transmission
• Retrofitted add-on units which are not approved by Ford, such as air conditioning, car telephone,
cruise control
• Unapproved tire sizes
• Incorrect tire size programmed with IDS (Integrated Diagnostic System)
• Engine tuning
IDS Diagnosis
NOTE: Customer concerns relating to the transaxle
can also be caused by engine-related faults.
The transmission control system of the AW55 is
closely linked to the engine management system.
Faults in the engine management system may
affect the transmission control system.
Before repairing the transaxle, it should be ensured
that the fault is not caused by the engine
management system or other non-transaxle
components.
The diagnosis can be performed on the AW55 with
the aid of von IDS.
visual inspection
A thorough visual inspection of the transaxle is
necessary for successful diagnosis.
A visual inspection is made of the following
components:
• Connectors and plug connections
• Ease of operation of the selector lever

Transmission Description – System Operation and ComponentDescription
System Operation
E112576
The AW55 5-gear automatic transaxle is a fully
automatic, electronically controlled automatic
transaxle. The fifth gear is an overdrive which
saves fuel.
The maximum input torque is 330 Nm.
Gear changes are controlled by an
electro-hydraulic system.
The gear ratios are achieved by means of a
combined planetary gear set and a Simpson set.
Three multi-plate clutches, four multi-plate brakes
and one band brake as well as two one-way
clutches control the various ratios.
The clutches and brakes are hydraulically operated
by electrically actuated solenoid valves. The valves
are actuated by the TCM depending on the driving
conditions and the driver's requirements.
The TCC is activated in gears 3, 4 and 5. The TCC
is driven in interlock mode and in slip mode. Defined slip achieves a smooth and therefore
comfortable clutch engagement of the TCC.
Control of slip mode depends on the engine speed,
accelerator pedal position and vehicle speed
signals provided by the ECM (engine control
module). This controls the rate of slip by comparing
the engine speed and the turbine shaft speed.
The TSS sensor and the OSS sensor use the Hall
effect principle. The TCM can regulate the slip in
the torque converter by comparing the engine
speed with the transmission speed.
All parameters for actuating the clutches and the
TCC are determined by the TCM as a function of
the operating parameters. The automatic transaxle
features a self-learning strategy.
The fundamental parameters for gear shifting are
the accelerator pedal position and the vehicle
speed.
Gear selection can either be performed
automatically or in select-shift mode. The selected
