TCU ▶
TCU is located under the driver's seat and controls the operations of transmission.
TCU receives the ignition voltage and has three connectors (16-pin, 12-pin, 20-pin).
TCU receives input signals from certain transmission-related sensors, gear select lever and inhibitor
switch. TCU also uses these signals when determining transmission operating strategy. TCU uses
PCAN to communicate with other units. And, TCU communicates with engine ECU, ESP unit, TCCU
and instrument cluster through CAN lines to control the gear shifting and to recognize the current gear
position.

1. OVERVIEW
The six speed automatic (M78) transmission is
available in two variants: four wheel drive and
two wheel drive.
The transmission has the following features:
Six Forward Speeds
One reverse gear
A torque converter with an integral converter lock-up clutch
Electronic shift and pressure controls
A single planetary gear-set
A double planetary gear-set
Two hydraulically controlled brake bands
Three multi-plate clutches
All hydraulic functions are directed by electronic solenoids to control: -

-
-
Engagement feel
Shift feel
Shift scheduling
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.
