2) Transaxle Cooling
The transaxle cooling system ensures rapid warm-up and constant operating temperature resulting in
reduced fuel consumption and refined shift quality.
It also includes a cooler by-pass within the hydraulic system to allow sufficient lubrication to the transaxle
drivetrain in the event of a blockage in the transaxle cooler.
3) Shift Strategy
Gear Change ▶
Transaxle gear change is controlled by the
TCU. The TCU receives inputs from various
engine and vehicle sensors to select shift
schedules and to control the shift feel and
torque converter clutch (TCC) operation at each
gear change.
Coast down ▶
Coast down down shifts occur at 0% pedal
when the vehicle is coasting down to a stop.
Torque Demand ▶
Torque demand down shifts occur
(automatically) when the driver demand for
torque is greater than the engine can provide at
that gear ratio. If applied, the transaxle will
disengage the TCC to provide added
acceleration.

3. MODES AND FUNCTIONS
This allows the driver to define the highest
possible gear by selecting “+” or “-” on the
gear selector when the lever is in the “M”
position. When the lever is first moved to the
manual “M” position the transaxle will select
one lower gear than current gear.
When driving on a slippery road, push the tip switch forward into the "+" position in "M" position.
This causes the transaxle to shift into the 2nd gear which is better for smooth driving on a slippery
road.

4. LIMP HOME MODE
When the transaxle is defective ▶
In the event of a system fault, the TCU also provides for failure mode effect control (FMEC) to maintain
maximum functional operation of the transaxle. (There are 3 FMEC modes, mechanical limp-home
mode, electrical limp-home mode, limp-home mode C.)
In the event of a total loss of control or electrical power, the basic transaxle functions (Park, Reverse,
Neutral and Drive) are retained. The 4th and reverse gear ratios with the torque converter clutch in the
unlocked state are the retained gear states the hydraulic system supports without any electrical
assistance. (Mechanical limp-home)
If the speed sensor circuit is failed, the gear is fixed to 4th gear, but manual shifting

If the inhibitor switch signals are invalid, shifting to1st and 2nd gear is forbidden. (Limp-home C)
The TCU communicates with other vehicle electronic control modules by the controller area network
(CAN). If a major fault is developed, the transaxle may not accomplish the intelligent shift control. The
TCU controls the transaxle with preset values.
The TCU also provides for transaxle diagnostics, which meet the requirements of OBD II regulation,
monitoring all components which may effect vehicle emissions. 1.

Towing the automatic transaxle equipped vehicle ▶
Flat-bed equipment is the best method of moving a disabled vehicle to avoid any damages.
For AWD vehicle: The vehicle must be towed with a wheel lift and dollies or flatbed equipment with
all the wheels off the ground.
For 2WD vehicles: It is acceptable to tow the vehicle with the rear wheels on the ground without
dollies and the front wheels off the ground. When being towed by a commercial towtruck and
wheel dollies are not available, the front of the vehicle should be lifted, not the rear. -

5. TRANSAXLE ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM
1) General Information
The transmission control unit (TCU) and its input/output network control the following transmission
operations:
Shift timing
Line pressure
Clutch pressure (shift feel)
Torque converter clutch -
-
-
-
also uses these signals when determining transaxle operating strategy. Using all of these input signals,
the TCU can determine when the time and conditions are right for a shift, or when to apply or release the
torque converter clutch. It will also determine the pressure needed to optimise shift feel.
2) TCU (Transmission Control Unit)
The transaxle control unit (TCU) is mounted
under the driver's seat and controls the operation
of the transaxle.
Internal sensors and signals received across the
CAN bus in analogue and digital forms such as:
Transaxle input speed
Transaxle output speed
Accelerator pedal position
Gear selector position
Engine torque
Engine speed
Transaxle fluid temperature
Brake pedal status
Engine oil temperature
Engine coolant temperature
Ambient air temperature
Barometric pressure -

The TCU monitors all TCU inputs and outputs to confirm correct system operation. If a fault occurs the
TCU is able to perform default action and inform the driver of the problem through the instrument cluster
warning lights. Detailed information is available via trouble codes which can be read with the service tool.

6. CAN NETWORK
The TCU sends signals to be used by other vehicle systems via the CAN bus, such as:
Selector lever position
Selected gear state
Manual mode activation
Transaxle fluid temperature
Engine torque reduction requests -
