The valve actuates the torque converter clutch as
well as the reverse gear brake (B3) and 2nd - 5th
gear brake (B2). The PWM control achieves
smooth engagement of the gears. The two brakes
are actuated in 1st and 2nd gear to guarantee
engine braking.
The valve also actuates the torque converter in
such a way that is works in three positions: 'open',
'controlled looping (slip lock-up mode)', and 'locked
(full lock-up mode)'. The hydraulic function of the
valve is linear.
In lockup mode the TCC is closed. The impeller
and the turbine of the torque converter are friction
locked. The engine torque acts directly on the
transmission input shaft. Fuel consumption is
reduced due to a reduction in the torque converter
pump losses.
In slip lock-up mode, slip in the TCC is permitted
in order to improve driving comfort. The hydraulic
pressure acting on the TCM varies in accordance
with the duty signal of the actuation signal
generated by the PWM for the TCC solenoid valve
for the TCC (SLU). The temperature of the
transmission fluid increases in slip mode.

The valve directly actuates the multi-plate brake
(B1) in 2nd - 4th gear as well as the clutch (C2) in
5th and reverse gear. The PWM control achieves
smooth engagement of the gears.
The hydraulic function of the valve is linear. The
hydraulic valve is controlled by means of the
varying current resulting from the current duty
cycle. The system pressure is low with a high duty
cycle, i.e. with high current intensity (approx. 1 A),
and vice versa.

measure enables judder-free gearshifts.
The PWM solenoid valve is open when

Selector lever with integrated select-shift
switch module
E112332
The selector lever unit is located in the central
console. It is mechanically connected to the
transmission by a selector cable which moves the
gear selector shaft in the TR sensor.
The following components are integrated in the
selector lever assembly:
• Select-shift switch module
• Selector lever lock solenoid.
• Switch contact for selector lever position 'P'
• LED for the selector lever position display
The selector lever has the following positions:
• P: Park position
• R: Reverse gear.
• N: Neutral position
• D: Automatically shift between all gears
• S: Sport and select-shift mode (manual gearchanging)
If the selector lever is not in the 'P' position when
the vehicle is exited, a signal is transmitted to the
instrument cluster via the switch contact for selector
lever position 'P'. When the driver door is opened,
a message to move the selector lever to the 'P'
position appears in the instrument cluster and the
warning buzzer sounds. The vehicle cannot be
electrically locked if the selector lever is not moved
to the 'P' position.

Overview of the select-shift switch module
E112331
The select-shift switch module is located on the
upper trim of the selector lever unit. The module
is supplied with power by the TCM.
It uses the LIN databus to interact with the TCM,
for instance to activate the selector lever position
display.
It allows the automatic transmission gears to be
changed up and down manually via the signals of
the Hall sensors.
The select-shift switch module detects the selector
lever position 'P' and 'S' via the integrated selector
lever position sensors (Hall sensors).
A cable leading from the TCM passes directly to
the select-shift switch module and is used to control
the solenoid of the selector lever lock. The
switching solenoid receives its voltage supply
directly from the module.
In the event of a fault, a signal is transmitted to the
TCM where all DTCs are stored.

The fluid pump operates on the principle of a
G-rotor fluid pump.
The fluid pump draws transmission fluid from the
fluid pan, builds up fluid pressure and then supplies
it to the valve body.
The fluid pump is driven by the crankshaft via the
torque converter housing.

hydraulically from the engine to the transaxle input

The stator increases the torque up to the clutch
take-up point. At the clutch take-up point, the speed
difference between impeller and turbine is
approximately 90 %.
In order to improve the efficiency, the torque
converter features a hydraulically-activated TCC.
When the TCC is engaged, the torque is
transmitted directly from the crankshaft via the
torque converter housing to the transaxle input
shaft.
