A/T CONTROL SYSTEM
TCM FunctionBCS000ZP
The function of the TCM is to:
Receive input signals sent from various switches and sensors.
Determine required line pressure, shifting point, lock-up operation, and engine brake operation.
Send required output signals to the respective solenoids.
CONTROL SYSTEM OUTLINE
The automatic transmission senses vehicle operating conditions through various sensors or signals. It always
controls the optimum shift position and reduces shifting and lock-up shocks.

CAN CommunicationBCS000ZQ
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle mul-
tiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Many elec-
tronic control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with other
control units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control units are connected with 2
communication lines (CAN H line, CAN L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission with less wiring.
Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only. For details, refer to LAN-49,
"CAN System Specification Chart" .

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS

DTC Inspection Priority ChartBCS000ZX
If some DTCs are displayed at the same time, perform inspections one by one based on the following priority
chart.
NOTE:
If DTC “CAN COMM CIRCUIT” is displayed with other DTCs, first perform the trouble diagnosis for
“CAN COMMUNICATION LINE”. Refer to AT- 1 3 3
.
Fail-safeBCS000ZY
The TCM has an electronic Fail-safe mode. This allows the vehicle to be driven even if a major electrical input/
output device circuit is damaged.
Under Fail-safe, the vehicle always runs in third gear, even with a shift lever position of “1”, “2”, “3” or “D”. The
customer may complain of sluggish or poor acceleration.
Always follow the AT- 3 7 , "
WORK FLOW" .
The SELF-DIAGNOSIS results will be as follows:
The first SELF-DIAGNOSIS will indicate damage to the vehicle speed sensor or the revolution sensor.
During the next SELF-DIAGNOSIS, performed after checking the sensor, no damages will be indicated.
FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION
The following fail-safe functions allow vehicles to be driven even when sensor, switch or solenoid malfunction
occurs.
Vehicle Speed Sensor 1 (Revolution Sensor)
Vehicle speed sensor 2 signal is input from combination meter.
Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor Signal
TCM controls the throttle opening angle to a predetermined fixed position to enable driving if a malfunctioning
signal is input to TCM.
Park/Neutral Position (PNP) Switch
When the multiple PNP switch signals are input to TCM, the priority of selector lever position becomes “D”·“3”,
“N”, “R”, “2” and “1” in order by internal TCM determination.
The use of 4th gear is inhibited until normal operation resumes. Because the hydraulic circuit of the control
valve is switched by manual valve according to the selector lever position, however, actual operating condition
of vehicle becomes as follows.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
How to Perform Trouble Diagnoses for Quick and Accurate RepairBCS000ZZ
INTRODUCTION
The TCM receives a signal from the vehicle speed sensor, accelera-
tor pedal position sensor or PNP switch and provides shift control or
lock-up control via A/T solenoid valves.
Input and output signals must always be correct and stable in the
operation of the A/T system. The A/T system must be in good oper-
ating condition and be free of valve seizure, solenoid valve malfunc-
tion, etc.
It is much more difficult to diagnose a malfunction that occurs inter-
mittently rather than continuously. Most intermittent malfunctions are
caused by poor electric connections or improper wiring. In this case,
careful checking of suspected circuits may help prevent the replace-
ment of good parts.
A visual check only, may not find the cause of the malfunctions. A
road test with CONSULT-II or a circuit tester connected should be
performed. Follow the AT- 3 7 , "
WORK FLOW" .
Before undertaking actual checks, take a few minutes to talk with a
customer who approaches with a drivability complaint. The customer
can supply good information about such malfunctions, especially
intermittent ones. Find out what symptoms are present and under
what conditions they occur. A “DIAGNOSTIC WORKSHEET” like the
example (AT- 3 8 , "
DIAGNOSTIC WORKSHEET" ) should be used.
Start your diagnosis by looking for “conventional” malfunctions first.
This will help troubleshoot drivability malfunctions on an electroni-
cally controlled engine vehicle.
Also check related Service bulletins for information.

A good understanding of the malfunction conditions can make troubleshooting faster and more accurate. In
general, each customer feels differently about a malfunction. It is important to fully understand the symptoms
or conditions for a customer complaint.
Make good use of the two sheets provided, AT- 3 8 , "

Inspect the A/T fluid condition.
STALL TEST
Stall Test Procedure
1. Check ATF and engine oil levels. If necessary, add ATF and oil.
2. Drive vehicle for approximately 10 minutes or until ATF and
engine oil reach operating temperature.
3. Set parking brake and block wheels.
4. Install a tachometer where it can be seen by driver during test.
It is good practice to mark the point of specified engine
rpm on indicator.
5. Start engine, apply foot brake, and place selector lever in “D”
position.
