Modulated torque converter clutch applications ·
·
·
·
The transmission contains fully synthetic automatic transmission fluid (ATF) and is filled for life;
therefore it does not require periodic servicing.
Engine power reaches the transmission via a torque converter with integral converter lock-up
clutch.
The six forward gears and one reverse gear are obtained from a single planetary set, followed by
a double planetary set. This type of gear-set arrangement is commonly known as Lepelletier type
gear-set.
The automatic transmission is electronically controlled. The control system is comprised of the
following elements:
External transmission control unit (TCU)
Internal embedded memory module (EMM)
Input and output speed sensors
Valve body unit comprised of four on/off solenoid valves and six variable bleed solenoids

2. FEATURES
Early Downshifts with Hard Braking and Skip Shifts ▶
When heavy braking is detected, the transmission downshifts early and skips gears to provide
increased engine braking to provide gear selection for tip-in.
Gear Hold on Uphill/Downhill ▶
If the accelerator pedal is released when travelling uphill, upshifts are prevented to reduce
busyness on grades. If the accelerator pedal is released when travelling downhill, upshifts are
prevented to enhance engine braking.
Soft Engagement when Shifting to “D” and “R” Position ▶
A soft engagement feature avoids harsh take up of drive when selecting Drive or Reverse. This is
achieved by limiting engine speed and engine torque which results in a rapid, but progressive
engagement of either Drive or Reverse when moving from the Park or Neutral positions. There is
no drive engagement prevention strategy implemented on the transmission system as there is
sufficient engine strategy to protect the system. However, reverse gear engagement is prevented
until engine speed is less than 1400 rpm and the accelerator pedal position is less than 12% and
vehicle speed is less than 10 km/h.
Converter Clutch Lock-Up In All Gears ▶
The transmission features converter clutch lock-up in all gears. This feature provides improved
fuel economy and vehicle performance. It also improves transmission cooling efficiency when
towing heavy loads at low speeds, e.g. in city driving or hill terrain.
Embeded Memory Module (EMM) ▶
The embedded memory module (EMM) is
matched to the transmission's valve bodies
during transmission assembly to ensure
refined shift quality. The EMM is integrated
into the input speed sensor which is mounted
on the valve body in the transmission. The
EMM is used to store data such as valve body
calibration data and valve body serial number.
Upon installation, the TCU will download the
data from the EMM and utilise this data in the
operation of the transmission.

2) Cooling System
The transmission 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 cooling and
lubrication to the transmission drivetrain in the event of a blockage in the transmission cooler.
Gear Shift ▶
Coastdown ▶
Torque Demand ▶ Transmission 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
Coastdown downshifts occur at 0% accelerator pedal when the vehicle is coasting down to a
stop. To reduce the shift shock and to improve the shift feeling during downshift, TCU
electronically controls the transmission.
Torque demand downshifts occur (automatically) when the driver demand for torque is greater
than the engine can provide at that gear ratio. If applied, the transmission will disengage the TCC
to provide added acceleration.
3) Shift Strategy

2) Mode “M” (Manual Shift Mode)
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 transmission will select the lowest possible gear.
When maximum engine rpm is reached the transmission will upshift automatically regardless of
the driver selected limit. 4WD models with low range will not automatically upshift when low range
is selected.

Kickdown Function
If you need to accelerate rapidly, depress the accelerator pedal completely to the floor.
Then, a one- or two-lever gear will automatically be engaged. This is called the Kickdown
function.

4. LIMP HOME MODE
In case of transmission malfunction ▶
If a serious fault occurs in the automatic transmission, the TCU enters the limp home
mode to secure safe driving and protect the automatic transmission.
As power is no longer supplied to the solenoid, the current basic function (P, R, N, D) is
maintained and the 4th gear can be maintained only by the operation of the hydraulic
system without electrical operation.
The ECU communicates with other electric modules with CAN. If a serious fault occurs, the
transmission automatically enters the limp home mode for service.
The TCU monitors all factors which can affect to the performance of the transmission and
diagnose the system according to OBD II regulation. 1.

3.
4.
In case of overheated transmission ▶
The TCU enters the limp home mode when the batter voltage drops below 8 V.
If the transmission is overheated, the shift pattern is changed to the hot mode to cool the
transmission more efficiently.
While the transmission is overheated, the selector lever symbol and engine temperature
warning lamp on the instrument cluster blink until the transmission is cooled down to the
normal operation temperature. If the transmission is excessively overheated, the gear
cannot be shifted but remains in the neutral position. 1.

3.
Towing the vehicle with A/T ▶
The best way to transport the vehicle is to load it to a truck and transport it, especially if the
vehicle is 4WD.
If towing the vehicle with the propeller shaft connected, the transmission or oil pump of
transfer case may malfunction, resulting in internal damage due to poor lubrication. -

5. ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM
1) Overview
The transmission control unit (TCU) and its input/output networks control the operations of
transmission:
Shift timing
Line pressure
Clutch pressure (shift feel)
Torque converter clutch -
-
-
-
In addition, the TCU receives input signals from certain transmission-related sensors and
switches. The TCU also uses these signals when determining transmission 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. To accomplish this, the TCU operates six variable bleed control
solenoids and four ON/OFF solenoids to control the operations of transmission.
2) Transmission Control Unit (TCU)
The transmission control unit (TCU) is mounted under the driver's seat and controls the operation
of the transmission.
TCU processes the analog information from the internal sensors and the digital information
through CAN communication lines. TCU monitors all the input and output signals. If there is any

Monitoring the Supply Voltage ▶
Monitoring the Supply Voltage to Solenoid ▶
Monitoring the Gear Ratio ▶
Monitoring the Torque Converter ▶ If the battery voltage is too high or too low, the TCU sets the DTC.
TCU monitors the circuits for open or short to ground or supply. The monitoring function
evaluates the voltage characteristics while the switch is ON.
TCU monitors the gear is engaged properly in the allowed time.
TCU checks if the torque converter can be locked up properly. If it is failed, TCU releases the
torque converter clutch to activate the fail-safe operation.
4) Shift Energy Management
This function involves reducing or increasing the engine output torque during shifting. This
reduces the energy which is dissipated in the friction elements of the transmission during up-
shift. This is done by reducing the engine torque during the gear ratio change without interrupting
the tractive drive.
This function is used for:
Increasing the life span of transmission by shortening the slipping time
Improving the shift comfort by reducing the step changes due to gearshift
Transferring a higher engine power -
-
-
Real-time control of engine torque is required to maintain the proper shift operations and the
durability of transmission. TCU controls the engine torque during the gearshift by synchronizing
the operation of transmission clutches.
