ous sensors or signals. It always controls the opti-
mum shift position and reduces shifting and lock-up shocks.

Input/Output Signal Chart
*: This signal is transmitted via communication line.
The TCM activates low brake solenoid valve and controls t he low brake oil pressure to the low pressure level
if the driver does not intend to start the vehicle while the vehicle is being stopped in the “D” position. Therefore,
the low brake is in the release (slip) status and the pow er transmission route of A/T is the same status as the
“N” position. This can decrease the engine load and im proves the fuel economy because the drive force of
engine is not transmitted to the output shaft of A/T.
Idle Neutral Contro l Start Condition
Idle neutral control starts when all of the following c onditions are satisfied. However, the control ends when
any one of the following conditions becomes insufficient during idle neutral control.
NOTE:
The idle neutral control is terminated or prohibited when the TCM and ECM detect that the vehicle is in any of
the conditions as per the following.
 Engine cooling water temperature and A/T fluid temperature are below or above a prescribed temperature.
 A/T malfunction occurs.
 DTC is detected.
 Fail-safe mode activates.
 Idle neutral control is performed continuously for a certain period of time.
Idle Neutral Contro l Resume Condition
Idle neutral control can be resumed when its start condition is fulfilled after any of the following operations is
performed (unless a malfunction occurs in the vehicle).
 After driving at more than a prescribed speed.
 When idle neutral control start conditions are fulfilled for a certain period of time.

Input/Output Signal Chart
*: This signal is transmitted via CAN communication line.
 When driving on an up/down slope ASC judges up/down slope according to engine torque data transmitted from the ECM and vehicle speed.
Fixing at 4GR, 5GR or 6GR on an up-slope prevents sh ift hunting and controls the vehicle to gain optimum
driving force. On a down-slope, automatic shift-down to 4GR, 5GR or 6GR controls to gain optimum engine
brake.
 When driving on a curve TCM receives the side G sensor signal from the ABS ac tuator and electric unit (control unit). It locks to 4GR,
5GR or 6GR position in moderate cornering or to 3G R position in sharp cornering based on this signal. This
prevents any upshift and kickdown during corner ing, maintaining smooth vehicle travel.
To w M o d e
 High driving torque is required for towing a heavy load. The tow mode enables torque-oriented driving by
changing the shift schedule to that of delaying A/T gear shift timing (compared to normal driving).
 TCM receives tow mode switch signal from combination meter via CAN communication. The tow mode turns ON when TCM receives the signal. TCM transmits a tow mode indicator lamp signal to the combination
meter via CAN communication to turn ON the tow mode indicator lamp mounted in the combination meter.

SYSTEM
Input/Output Signal Chart
*: This signal is transmitted via CAN communication line.
 The TCM receives the manual mode signal, non-manual mode signal, manual mode shift up signal and
manual mode shift down signal from combination meter via CAN communication line. The TCM shifts shift
pattern control to the manual mode based on these signal s, and then shifts the A/T by operating each sole-
noid valve according to the shift operation of the driver.
 The TCM prohibits the manual mode while being in fail-safe mode due to an A/T malfunction, etc. Refer to TM-74, "
Fail-Safe".
Manual Mode Information
 The TCM transmits the manual mode shift refusal signal to the combination meter if the TCM refuses the
transmission from the driving status of vehicle when the selector lever shifts to “UP (+ side)” or “DOWN (−
side)” side. The combination meter blinks shift indicator on the combination meter and sounds the buzzer to
indicate the driver that the shifting is not performed when receiving this signal. However, the TCM does not
transmit the manual mode shift refusal signal in the conditions as per the following.
- When the selector lever shifts to “DOWN ( − side)” side in 1GR.
- When the selector lever shifts to “UP (+ side)” side in 7GR.
LOCK-UP CONTROL
LOCK-UP CONTROL : System DiagramINFOID:0000000006226777
LOCK-UP CONTROL : System DescriptionINFOID:0000000006226778
 The torque converter clutch piston in the torque conv erter is engaged to eliminate torque converter slip to
increase power transmission efficiency.
 Lock-up operation, however, is prohibited when A/T fluid temperature is too low.
 The torque converter clutch control valve operation is controlled by the torque converter clutch solenoid
valve, which is controlled by a signal from TCM, and the torque converter clutch control valve engages or
releases the torque converter clutch piston.
