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.

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.

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.

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. -

(2) CAN Input/Output
TCU receives and sends the data among the units through P-CAN communication.

Pressure Modulation ▶
To provide a higher level of shift comfort and durability, the hydraulic pressure in the shift related friction
elements of the transmission must be matched accurately to the input torque to transmission. This
hydraulic pressure is composed of a hydraulically pre-set basic pressure and a control pressure which is
set by one of the variable bleed solenoids.
The transmission input torque can be directly calculated from the following operating parameters:
engine torque signals
engine speed or any signal transmitted from ECU through CAN lines
converter slip -

-
Separate pressure characteristics for each gear change make it possible to adapt precisely to the
particular shift operation.
5) Shift Mode Selection by TCU
The driver can select Standard (S) or Winter mode (W) with the mode switch. TCU automatically
changes the shift mode according to the transmission oil temperature, uphill or downhill gradient, and
altitude to keep the good driving conditions.
Standard Mode (S) ▶
Uphii and Downhill Mode ▶
Altitude Mode ▶ Standard Mode is selected when setting the mode switch in Standard (S) position with the gear select

provides the optimized fuel economy and good driving conditions.
In this mode, the operating points of torque converter lock-up clutch and the shifting points are adjusted
according to the vehicle weight.
In this mode, the shifting points are automatically adjusted according to the altitude to compensate the
engine torque changes due to barometric pressure and temperature.

Winter Mode (W) ▶
Low Range Driving Mode ▶
Warm Up Mode ▶ When the Winter mode is selected, the second gear is engaged to start off the vehicle easily to prevent
wheel spin on slippery surfaces and WINTER mode indicator comes ON. The first gear is not available
in this mode.
When the vehicle is in 4L driving mode, the transmission uses a different shift mode to optimize the low
range driving. Similar to Winter mode, the first gear is not available.
This mode is normally used when the transmission oil temperature is below 20°C.

2) Function of N Switch
(1) Aids a smooth start of the vehicle by raising the RPM during the gear
shifting when the engine is cold.
When the vehicle is trying to start from the stopped state (vehicle speed below 3 km/h), the N switch
determines the shifting timing by using the clutch switch and the N switch. It raises the engine RPM (100
~ 200 rpm). Operation conditions are as follows.
The vehicle speed is at the stopped state (Vehicle speed below 3km/h detection).
While depressing the clutch (Clutch switch detection).
The gear lever is at a position other than neutral (N switch detection).
Start the vehicle while depressing the clutch pedal (Clutch switch detection).
The RPM increases in accordance with the temperature of the engine coolant
(Engine coolant temperature sensor detection). -

When the gear has been smoothly shifted and the vehicle speed exceeds 3km/h, it returns to the
previous operation interval of the engine RPM. -
In case of Actyon, the N switch signal is transmitted to the instrument panel, and then the instrument
panel transmits it to the engine ECU through the CAN communication.

Variant Coding Options
(2) Detects the position of the shifting lever for the HDC operation
among ABS functions.
The HDC function operates only if the M/T shift lever is in forward or reverse position. Please refer to the
ABS section for the specific information related to the HDC.
Variant Coding Related to N Switch ▶
The N switch transmits information to the ECU through the CAN communication while New Rexton is
connected to the ECU through wires. Thus, if you set the variant coding in the engine ECU, you must do
it differently, and you must set the variant coding differently according to the vehicle category and
specification as below.
