7A1-14 CONSTRUCTION AND FUNCTION
CONTROL VALVE

Employing the direct electronic control (Direct Electronic Shift Control: DESC) for the clutch pressure has
simplified the oil pressure circuit, reduced the number of functional components and made the control
valve compact.

The control valve body is divided into the upper body and lower body. All solenoids, oil pressure switch
and ATF thermo sensor are installed to the lower body.

Three-way valve type solenoids providing high responsibility are employed. Some of the solenoids are
switched between ON and OFF and others repeat ON and OFF at 50Hz (duty cycle system).
Functionally, some supply output pressure when power is not supplied and others drain the output
pressure.

When the solenoid is driven based on the signal from the TCM, the oil pressure is changed. The valve is
operated by the difference of the oil pressure.

CONSTRUCTION AND FUNCTION 7A1-17

ATF Thermo Sensor

The ATF thermo sensor detects the ATF temperature in the oil pan and sends signal to the TCM.

The ATF thermo sensor is of the thermister type that the resistance value changes according to the ATF
oil temperature.

The lower is the ATF temperature, the larger is the resistance, and vice versa.

When the ATF temperature exceeds 145C, the TCM lights up the ATF temperature warning lamp in the
meter. When the ATF temperature decreases below 128C, the ATF temperature warning lamp goes out.

The ATF thermo sensor is installed to the lower control valve body and integrated with the harness
assembly.

CONTROL MECHANISM
CONTENT OF FUNCTION AND CONTROL
Item Description
Line pressure control TCM issues a signal according to the vehicle traveling, engine load and other conditions to
TCM and the ON/OFF type line pressure solenoid is driven to switch the line pressure to
high or low pressure.
The line pressure solenoid is switched to the low pressure side when the solenoid is turned
ON (power supplied) and to the high pressure side when turned OFF (no power supplied).
In the forward travel range (D, 3, 2, L range), the line pressure decreases lower than that in
the P, N, and R range through the oil pressure circuit for the forward travel range.


Gear shift control The TCM issues a shift solenoid drive signal based on the traveling mode switch, inhibitor
switch, vehicle speed, throttle opening and other input signal to control the optimum gear
position automatically.
Speed change features have been set up to the TCM; the normal mode is suited to usual
traveling and the power mode is appropriate when the vehicle is loaded or accelerates the
speed.
In addition, speed change features used only for high oil temperature, hill climbing, and
down have been set up to the TCM, which are automatically switched depending on the
traveling conditions.
When the oil temperature is low (below 10
C), speed change from the third to the fourth
speed is prohibited by the gear shift control.

1 – 4 speed based on shift diagram set as power pattern.

- Up slope mode -
Up-slope reasoning value is calculated from the average throttle angle and the average
acceleration. Otherwise, up-slope reasoning value is calculated from the vehicle speed.
TCM judges as up-slope mode when the former is bigger than latter.


Lock-up control The lock-up solenoid adjusts the pressure based on the signal from the TCM according to
the vehicle speed, throttle opening and other input signals based on the pre-set lock-up
point to control the lock-up.
Smooth lock-up control engages and disengages the clutch smoothly at the time of lock-up.
When the oil temperature is low (below 20
C) or high (above 128
C), lock-up is prohibited
even when the vehicle is at a lock-up speed.
The lock-up is disengaged also when the throttle is closed.
Direct electronic shift
control (DESC)
The duty cycle type solenoid is used for each clutch and brake. The solenoid adjusts the
clutch pressure to be suited to the engine load and vehicle traveling condition based on the
signal from the TCM. The pressure switch provided in the control valve oil passage sends
the oil pressure condition to the TCM to control the disengagement and engagement of the
clutch and brake directly and finely.
Learning control Learning is controlled to correct the oil pressure control timing to engage or disengage the
clutch optimally in order to compensate changes of the engine performance and changes
of the transmission with time. It is controlled to bring the speed-change time closer to the
value pre-set to the TCM.

7A1-30 CONSTRUCTION AND FUNCTION
LINE PRESSURE CONTROL

Either the throttle opening, vehicle speed, turbine rotational speed, ATF temperature or speed-change
range signal appropriate under the situation is issued from the TCM. The ON/OFF type line pressure
solenoid is actuated and switches the line pressure to high or low pressure.

The line pressure generated by the oil pump acts on the point A of the pressure regulator valve. When
the pressure control solenoid is turned ON by the signal from the TCM, the solenoid pressure does not
act. The line pressure is adjusted to match the spring force acting on the right side of the pressure
regulator valve.

When the pressure control solenoid is turned OFF, the solenoid pressure acts so that the line pressure is
adjusted to match the spring force acting on the right side of the pressure regulator valve.

As a result, the line pressure is adjusted to be low when the pressure control solenoid is ON and to be
high when the pressure control solenoid is OFF.

In the D, 3, 2 and L range, the line pressure through the oil pressure circuit acts onto the point B of the
pressure regulator valve and the pressure regulator valve moves so as to increase the pressure to be
drained, so that the line pressure is adjusted to be lower than the P, N, and R range by the difference of
area at the point B.




Figure 50. Line Pressure Control

LOCK-UP CONTROL

The lock-up solenoid adjusts the pressure and controls the lock-up based on the pre-set lock-up point,
according to the vehicle speed, throttle opening, engine rotations, turbine rotations and ATF temperature
input signal, based on the signal from the TCM.

Smooth lock-up control is employed to engage or disengage the clutch smoothly at the time of lock-up.

When the oil temperature is low (below 20C) or high (over 128C), lock-up is disengaged even though
the vehicle is at the lock-up speed.

The lock-up is disengaged also when the throttle is closed.

When the TCM determines the lock-up engagement, the DUTY ratio to supply power to the lock-up
solenoid is gradually increased (5% to 95%) and the oil between the lock-up piston and converter cover is
gradually drained.
As a result, the lock-up piston is fitted slowly under pressure to the converter cover securing smooth lock-
up engagement.

DIRECT ELECTRIC SHIFT CONTROL (DESC)
Feature

Based on the each switch signals (low & reverse brake pressure, 2-4 brake pressure & high clutch
pressure) and sensors signals (turbine sensor, speed sensor, engine speed signal & throttle position
signal), duty cycle type solenoid adjusts the clutch pressure to match the engine load and vehicle
traveling condition. By this result, controlling the engagement and disengagement of the clutch and brake
pressure is directly and accurately controlled via TCM, which is not realized in previous accumulator type.
Operation

Instead of the previous system (on/off type of shift solenoid and shift valve), the combination of duty cycle
type solenoid and amplifier (Amp) valve are used to adjust the clutch pressure to match the engine load
and vehicle traveling condition based on the signal from the TCM, and the pressure switch provided in the
oil passage of the control valve transmits the oil pressure condition at that time to TCM, thus controlling
the engagement and disengagement of the clutch and brake directly and finely.

When the gear is shifted from the 2nd to 3rd, 3rd to 4th (O/D), 4th (O/D) to 3rd and 3rd to 2nd, the clutch
pressure on the engagement side and that on the disengagement side are simultaneously controlled.
As a result, engine racing or clutch drag is prevented securing smooth and quick speed change response

CONSTRUCTION AND FUNCTION 7A1-33
LEARNING CONTROL

Oil pressure control timing is optimally corrected at the time of clutch engagement and disengagement
and controlled to bring the speed-change time to the value preset to the TCM and compensate the
changes of the engine performance and changes of the transmission with time.

When the gear is shifted, the clutch pressure 2 is optimally corrected so that the speed-change time is as
near as the target value
1 preset to the TCM and the changes in the engine performance and the
changes of the transmission with time can be compensated based on the past speed-change results.

When the clutch is operated to shift the gear, the time of the clutch oil pressure release timing 4 on the
disengagement side is optimally corrected so that the changes of the engine rpm
3 is optimum.


Note:

When the battery terminal is disconnected, contents of learning are cleared and resultantly the speed
change shock may increase. After the vehicle has traveled, learning is repeated and the shock
decreases gradually.
