3) Shift Map Selection
The driver can manually select between normal (S) and winter modes (W) via the mode switch.
Depending on the transaxle temperature, uphill and downhill grades and altitude, shift maps will be
selected by the TCU to suit the driving conditions. The following maps are available.
Standard (Normal) Mode ▶
Normal Mode is selected when the lever is in the D position with the mode switch in the normal (S)
position and the transaxle is within normal temperature ranges. Shift schedule points are optimised for
fuel efficiency and general driving conditions.
Uphill and Downhill Mode ▶
In this mode, depending on the load of the vehicle, adaptive shift maps are selected to progressively
adjust the shift points and torque converter lock points.
Altitude Mode ▶
Shift points are automatically adjusted at higher altitudes to compensate for changes in engine torque
where the torque produced by the engine is greatly reduced by the effects of reduced barometric
pressure and temperature.
Winter (W) Mode ▶
When winter mode is selected, starting in second gear is facilitated and the WINTER mode indicator
light is switched ON. To prevent wheel spin on slippery surfaces, the transmission will not allow first gear
unless manually overridden.

The torque converter will not lock-up below 20°C to assist in transaxle warm-up.

converter lock-up is increased to prevent heat generation by the torque converter.
Activation of the hot mode inhibits other transmission performance features including uphill and downhill
compensation and altitude compensation. Some degradation in shift feel may be experienced as the
torque converter is not unlocked during shifting.
Cruise Control Mode ▶
When cruise control is activated the engine ECU may request the transaxle to downshift under trailing
throttle conditions to increase engine braking.
Above 110℃the electrical radiator fans are switch ON
Above 130℃the engine torque will be reduced and the W light on the instrument cluster will flash
Above 200℃the transaxle will neutralise until the fluid tem
perature falls below 200°C as a final
protection.

1. OVERVIEW
2WD4WD
The Model 6F24 6 speed automatic transaxle is electronically controlled. The control system is
comprised of the following components:
External transaxle control unit (TCU)
Input and output speed sensors
Six variable force solenoids(VFS) and two on/off solenoids
Torque converter
ATF temperature sensor -
-
-
-
-
TCU controls the oil pressure for various internal clutches and brakes to select the gear. It also controls
the electronic elements, shift pressure and torque converter slip. If the system is defective, TCU provides
FMEC (Failure Mode Effect Control) to maintain the functionality of transaxle. This keeps the basic
function of transaxle (gear selection) even when there are failure in controls and power supply.
There are selector shaft position sensor (inhibitor switch) and oil temperature sensor in transaxle. In
manual mode, TCU receives the information from TGS (Transmission Gear Selector) through PCB
(Printed Circuit Board) when driver selects the manual shift mode. TCU communicates with other electric
control modules through CAN. In order to ensure a safe driving state and to prevent damage to the
automatic transmission, TCU switches to Limp-Home mode in the event of critical faults.

1. OVERVIEW
This vehicle is equipped with WM6F1 M/T (Manual Transmission). This transmission is integrated with an
axle and designed to maximize the driving performance by optimizing the gear ratio according to the
engine torque.

The front sub frame consists of 4 body bush mountings(A) and 2 engine bush mountings(B) which
reduce the vibration from the powertrain and road, and also control the torque. And the two engine bush
mountings consist of an engine mounting which supports the engine powertrain and a transmission
mounting.
The engine side and transmission side mountings are rubber mountings with brackets and insulators
while the body mounting is a rubber bush mounting which is fitted to the frame.
Installation of front sub
frame (4WD)The installation of the front sub frame is the same for both automatic
transmission and manual transmission. For 4WD, the PTU and the
propeller shaft are installed.
Installation of front sub
