Design:
• The gear ratios are achieved by means of acombined planetary gear set on the input side
and a Simpson set on the output side.
– The combined planetary gear set consists oftwo different, simple planetary gear sets. It
has a similar structure to a Ravigneaux set,
but with just one sun gear that engages with
the front planetary gears.
• Three multi-plate clutches
• Four multi-plate brakes • One band brake
• Two one-way clutches
The TCM adapts the gear changing to ensure that
the correct gear is selected for the style of driving,
the engine load, driver requirements, vehicle speed
etc.
The TCM features a self-learning strategy.
This leads to lower fuel consumption together with
improved comfort through smoother gear changes
and lower noise levels.

Depending on the input signals, the TCM mounted
on the transaxle actuates the solenoid valves
S1-S5 in the valve body. The solenoid valves are
either in the "open" or "closed" state.
The (SLT and SLS) control valves regulate the
hydraulic pressure according to the pulse/pause
ratio of the electrical PWM signal. The controlled
hydraulic pressure enables smooth shifting or the
generation of a defined slip through actuation of
the relevant clutches and brakes. The shift timing is calculated by the TCM using the
accelerator pedal position and vehicle speed.
Under normal conditions, gear shifting and torque
converter lockup occur at low engine speeds to
reduce fuel consumption.
If the accelerator pedal is pressed down quickly,
the TCM switches automatically into kickdown
mode.

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 Fluid Level Check
E126079
WARNING: Beware, risk of scalding when
checking the transmission fluid.
NOTE: Refer to the service literature for the exact
procedure and specifications.
In order for the transaxle to function properly, it is
vital that the transmission fluid level is correct. If the transmission fluid level is excessively low, this
becomes noticeable by a rattling noise at the fluid
pump, etc.
Always use transmission fluid to the indicated
specification (WSS-M2C924-A).
The transmission fluid temperature is determined
using IDS.
It must be ensured that the transmission fluid
temperature is within the range specified in the
workshop literature.
The following conditions must be met in order to
carry out the transmission fluid level check
correctly:
• Ensure that the transaxle is not in limp home
mode.
• Place the vehicle on a level surface.
• Move the selector lever to the 'P' position.
• Make sure that the parking brake is fully applied.
• Run the engine at idle speed.
• Move the transmission selector lever to all positions. In doing so, wait until the transmission
engages the corresponding range.
• Move the selector lever back to the 'P' position.
• Pull out the fluid dipstick.
When the predetermined transmission fluid
temperature is reached, the fluid level shown on
the dipstick must be in the middle between 'MIN'
and 'MAX'. In this case, the fluid level is correct.
