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.

O PLock-up Operation Condition Table
Lock-up released
 In the lock-up released state, the torque converter clutch control valve is set into the unlocked state by the
torque converter clutch solenoid and the lock-up apply pressure is drained.
in this way, the torque converter clutch piston is not coupled.
Lock-up Applied
 In the lock-up applied state, the torque converter clutch control valve is set into the locked state by the
torque converter clutch solenoid and lock-up apply pressure is generated.
In this way, the torque converter clutch piston is pressed and coupled.
Smooth Lock-up Control
When shifting from the lock-up released state to the lock- up applied state, the current output to the torque con-
verter clutch solenoid is controlled with the TCM. In this way, when shifting to the lock-up applied state, the
torque converter clutch is temporarily set to the half-clutched state to reduce the shock.
Half-clutched State The current output from the TCM to the torque converte r clutch solenoid is varied to steadily increase the
torque converter clutch solenoid pressure.
In this way, the lock-up apply pressure gradually rises and while the torque converter clutch piston is put into
half-clutched states, the torque conv erter clutch piston operating pressure is increased and the coupling is
completed smoothly.
Slip Lock-up Control In the slip region, the torque converter clutch solenoid current is controlled with the TCM to put it into the
half-clutched state. This absorbs the engine tor que fluctuation and lock-up operates from low speed.
This raises the fuel efficiency fo r 2GR, 3GR, 4GR, 5GR, 6GR and 7GR.
