STRUCTURE AND OPERATION
A/T FLUID COOLER SCHEMATIC
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
A/T fluid warmer
The A/T fluid warmer (1) is installed on the front part of cylinder
block of engine.
When engine is started while engine and A/T are cold, engine cool-
ant temperature rises more quickly than A/T fluid temperature. A/T
fluid warmer is provided with two circuits for ATF and engine cool-
ant respectively so that warmed engine coolant warms ATF
quickly. This helps shorten A/T warming up time, improving fuel
economy.
A cooling effect is obtained when A/T fluid temperature is high.
A/T fluid cooler (with bypass valve)
A/T fluid cooler (1) is installed in the front of radiator (2) and con- denser (3).
A/T fluid cooler is provided with a bypass valve that controls ATF
flow. Bypass valve operates by thermo wax and a return spring.
Bypass valve fully opens when A/T fluid temperature is approxi-
mately 90 °C (194 °F) and fully closes when A/T fluid temperature is
approximately 100 °C (212 °F).
When A/T fluid temperature is low, the bypass valve is open. Most of ATF therefore returns to the transmission without flowing into the
cooler core that has larger flow resistance.

When A/T fluid temperature rises [to approximately 100 °C
(212 °F)], bypass valve closes and allows ATF to flow into cooler
core. ATF flowing into cooler core is cooled by air stream caused
by vehicle travel and returned to transmission.

A/T CONTROL SYSTEM : Fail-SafeINFOID:0000000006226769
TCM has the electrical fail-safe mode. The mode is divi ded into a maximum of 3 phases (1st fail-safe, 2nd fail-
safe and final fail-safe) and functions so that the operat ion can be continued even if the signal circuit of the
main electronically controlled input/output parts is damaged.
Even if the electronic circuit is normal, the fail-safe mode may start under special conditions (such as when the
brake pedal is depressed suddenly from a hard wheel spin st atus to stop the rotation of wheels). In this case,
turn the ignition switch OFF and back to ON after 5 seconds to resume the normal shift pattern.
Consequently, the customer's vehicle may already return to the normal condition. Refer to TM-88, "
Diagnosis
Flow".
FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION
1st Fail-SafeThe mode that the vehicle can stop safely, to prompt the driver to stop if the malfunction occurs and to shift to
2nd fail-safe early. It shifts to 2nd fail-safe or final fail-safe after the vehicle stopped.
2nd Fail-Safe The mode that the vehicle shifts to final fail-safe without changing the behavior, by identifying the malfunction-
ing parts in the condition that the driving force required for the driving is secured.
Final Fail-Safe Selects the shifting pattern that the malfunctioning parts identified at 1st fail-safe and 2nd fail-safe are not
used, and then secure the driving force that is required for the driving.
The mode that the shifting performance does not decrease by normal shift control.

The TCM becomes the protection control status temporar ily to protect the safety when the safety of TCM and
transmission is lost. It automatically returns to the normal status if the safety is secured.
The TCM has the following protection control.
REVERSE INHIBIT CONTROL
Intercepts the torque transmission and shift to the neutral stat us if the selector lever is shifted to “R” position
while the vehicle moves forward at the vehicle speed 10 km/h (7 MPH) or more.
1ST ENGINE BRAKE PROTECTION CONTROL
Controls the engine brake so as not to make effective by turning the front brake solenoid output to OFF when
each solenoid becomes the electricity pattern of 1st engine brake during driving at the vehicle speed 25 km/h
or more in any positions other than “R” position and 1GR.

Limit the accelerator opening and forcibly control the vehi cle to the low torque driving when the electronic sub-
strate in TCM reaches the high temperature.

When an engine and A/T integrated control signal (engine
torque) equivalent to the engine drive force is
transmitted from the ECM to the TCM, the TC M controls the line pressure solenoid valve.
This line pressure solenoid controls the pressure regul ator valve as the signal pressure and adjusts the pres-
sure of the operating oil discharged from the oil pump to the line pressure most appropriate to the driving
state.
The TCM has stored in memory a number of patterns fo r the optimum line pressure characteristic for the
driving state.
In order to obtain the most appropriate line pressure char acteristic to meet the current driving state, the TCM
controls the line pressure solenoid current value and thus controls the line pressure.
Normal Control
Each clutch is adjusted to the necessary pressure to match the
engine drive force.
