• *1: Operates when OD OFF. (OD OFF indicator lamp is on.)
• *2: Oil pressure is applied to both 2nd “apply” side and 3rd “release” side of band servo piston. However, brake band does not contract
because oil pressure area on the “release” side is greater than that on the “apply” side.
• *3: Oil pressure is applied to 4th “apply” side on condition *2 above, and brake band contracts.
• *4: A/T will not shift to 4th when OD OFF. (OD OFF indicator lamp is on.)
• : Operates.
• A: Operates when throttle opening is less than specification**, activating engine brake.
• B: Operates during “pro gressive” acceleration.
• C: Operates but does not affect power transmission.
• D: Operates when throttle opening is less than specification**, but does not affect engine brake.
- **: Overrun clutch remains in engaged condition when throttle opening is less than 1/16.
POWER TRANSMISSION
“N” and “P” Positions
• “N” position Power from the input shaft is not transmitted to the output shaft because the clutches do not operate.
• “P” position
Similar to the “N” position, the clutches do not operate. The parking pawl engages with the parking gear to
mechanically hold the output shaft so that the power train is locked.

*: Overrun clutch remains in engaged condition when throttle opening is less than 1/16. •
Forward clutch
• Forward one-way clutch
• Overrun clutch
• Low & reverse brake As overrun clutch engages, rear internal gear is locked by the operation of low and re-
verse brake.
This is different from that of D
1 and 21.
Engine brake Overrun clutch always engages, therefore engine brake can be obtained when deceler-
ating.

• Low one-way clutch Rear internal gear is locked to rotate counterclockwise because of the functioning of these three
clutches.

•Forward clutch
• Forward one-way
clutch
• Brake band Rear sun gear drives rear planetary carrier and combined front internal gear. Front internal gear now rotates
around front sun gear accompanying front planetary carrier.
As front planetary carrier transfers the power to rear internal gear through forward clutch and forward one-
way clutch, this rotation of rear internal gear increases the speed of rear planetary carrier compared with
that of the 1st speed.

SAT379J
•High clutch
• Brake band
• Forward clutch (Does not affect power
transmission) Input power is transmitted to front carrier through high clutch.
This front carrier turns around the sun gear which is fixed by brake band and makes
front internal gear (output) turn faster.
Engine brake At D
4 position, there is no one-way clutch in the power transaxle line and engine brake
can be obtained when decelerating.

Reverse clutch
• Low & reverse brake Front planetary carrier is stationary because of the operation of low and reverse brake.
Input power is transmitted to front sun gear through reverse clutch, which drives front
internal gear in the opposite direction.
Engine brake As there is no one-way clutch in the power transaxle line, engine brake can be obtained
when decelerating.

A/T CONTROL SYSTEM
TCM Function
INFOID:0000000005928075
The function of the TCM is to:
• Receive input signals sent from various switches and sensors.
• Determine required line pressure, shifting poi nt, lock-up operation, and engine brake operation.
• Send required output signals to the respective solenoids.
CONTROL SYSTEM OUTLINE
The automatic transaxle senses vehicle operating conditions through various sensors or signals. It always
controls the optimum shift position and reduces shifting and lock-up shocks.

CONTROL SYSTEM DIAGRAM
CAN CommunicationINFOID:0000000005928076
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle mul-
tiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Many elec-
tronic control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with other
control units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control units are connected with 2
communication lines (CAN H line, CAN L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission with less wiring.
Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only. For details, refer to LAN-7,
"System Description".
