(AW81-40) 307-01 -32
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
This is influenced by the following variables:
Engine speed,
Engine load,
Transmission input speed,
Vehicle speed.
The following are actuated:
PCM (torque reduction request signal via the
CAN databus).
Pressure control during gearshifts
In order to ensure that the engagement of the
clutches and brakes is as judder-free as possible,
the main line pressure is reduced during gearshifts.
This is influenced by the following variables:
Enginespeed,
Engine load,
Transmission input speed,
Vehicle speed.
The following are actuated:
Main regulating valve.
Shift timing adaptation during upshifts
In order to ensure that the engagement of the
clutches and brakes is as judder-free as possible,
the timing of the gearshift processes is monitored
during upshifts.
In the event of any discrepancy from the target
values, the main line pressure is adapted
accordingly during the next gearshift.
The shift timing adaptation during upshifts is only
active at transmission fluid temperatures between
50
"C and 120 "C.
This is influenced by the following variables:
Engine load,
Accelerator pedal position,
Transmission input speed,
Vehicle speed,
Transmission fluid temperature,
Selector lever position.
The following are actuated:
Main regulating valve.
Shift timing adaptation during shifts from
3rd to 4th gear
The shift from 3rd gear into 4th gear is the only
gearshift during which a clutch is disengaged and
a brake is engaged simultaneously.
In order to control the synchronized switching of
the two components as exactly as possible, the
shifl timing solenoid valve is actuated accordingly.
In order to ensure that this particular gearshift is
performed as judder-free as possible throughout
the service life of the transmission, the gearshift is
monitored by the two rotational speed sensors and
the actuation of the shift timing solenoid valve is
adapted accordingly.
The shift timing adaptation for gearshifts from 3rd
gear into 4th gear is only active at transmission
fluid temperatures between 30
"C and 120 "C.
This is influenced by the following variables:
Engine load,
Accelerator pedal position,
Transmission input speed,
Vehicle speed,
Transmission fluid temperature,
Selector lever position.
The following are actuated:
Shift timing solenoid valve.
Shift timing adaptation during shifts from
4th to 3rd gear
The shift from 4th gear into 3rd gear is the only
gearshift during which a brake is disengaged and
a clutch is engaged simultaneously.
In order to control the engagement of the clutch as
precisely as possible, the main regulating valve is
actuated accordingly in order to build up the
actuating pressure at exactly the right time.
In order to ensure that this particular gearshift is
performed as judder-free as possible throughout
the service life of the transmission, the gearshift is
monitored by the two rotational speed sensors and
the actuation of the main regulating valve is
adapted accordingly.
The shift timing adaptation for gearshifts from 4th

gear into 3rd gear is only active at transmission (
fluid temperatures between 20 "C and 120 "C. .

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
TFT sensor Overdrive switch
The TFT sensor is located in the oil pan on the
main control body and is part of the transmission
wiring harness.
It measures the current transmission fluid
temperature and sends the signal to the
transmission control unit.
The transmission control unit uses this signal for:
Cold start mode,
Engagement of the TCC,
Shift timing adaptation during upshifts,
' , Shift timing adaptation during shifts from 3rd to
4th gear,
Shift timing adaptation during shifts from 4th to
3rd gear,
Overheating protection mode.
Consequences of signal failure:
NoTCC,
no shift timing adaptation,
no 4th gear. The overdrive switch
is located on the selector
lever.
It allows the driver to suppress or enable gearshifts
into 4th gear when
"D" is selected.
The signal from the overdrive switch is transmitted
to the transmission control unit.
When gearshifts into 4th gear are suppressed, the
transmission control unit sends a corresponding
signal via the CAN
databus to the instrument
cluster. The instrument cluster then actuates the
overdrive indicator lamp.
Consequences of signal failure:
no suppression of gearshifts into 4th gear.
