Design:
• The gear ratios are achieved by means of acombined planetary gear set on the input side
and a Simpson set on the output side.
– The combined planetary gear set consists oftwo different, simple planetary gear sets. It
has a similar structure to a Ravigneaux set,
but with just one sun gear that engages with
the front planetary gears.
• Three multi-plate clutches
• Four multi-plate brakes • One band brake
• Two one-way clutches
The TCM adapts the gear changing to ensure that
the correct gear is selected for the style of driving,
the engine load, driver requirements, vehicle speed
etc.
The TCM features a self-learning strategy.
This leads to lower fuel consumption together with
improved comfort through smoother gear changes
and lower noise levels.

Depending on the input signals, the TCM mounted
on the transaxle actuates the solenoid valves
S1-S5 in the valve body. The solenoid valves are
either in the "open" or "closed" state.
The (SLT and SLS) control valves regulate the
hydraulic pressure according to the pulse/pause
ratio of the electrical PWM signal. The controlled
hydraulic pressure enables smooth shifting or the
generation of a defined slip through actuation of
the relevant clutches and brakes. The shift timing is calculated by the TCM using the
accelerator pedal position and vehicle speed.
Under normal conditions, gear shifting and torque
converter lockup occur at low engine speeds to
reduce fuel consumption.
If the accelerator pedal is pressed down quickly,
the TCM switches automatically into kickdown
mode.

Transmission Description – System Operation and ComponentDescription
System Operation
E112576
The AW55 5-gear automatic transaxle is a fully
automatic, electronically controlled automatic
transaxle. The fifth gear is an overdrive which
saves fuel.
The maximum input torque is 330 Nm.
Gear changes are controlled by an
electro-hydraulic system.
The gear ratios are achieved by means of a
combined planetary gear set and a Simpson set.
Three multi-plate clutches, four multi-plate brakes
and one band brake as well as two one-way
clutches control the various ratios.
The clutches and brakes are hydraulically operated
by electrically actuated solenoid valves. The valves
are actuated by the TCM depending on the driving
conditions and the driver's requirements.
The TCC is activated in gears 3, 4 and 5. The TCC
is driven in interlock mode and in slip mode. Defined slip achieves a smooth and therefore
comfortable clutch engagement of the TCC.
Control of slip mode depends on the engine speed,
accelerator pedal position and vehicle speed
signals provided by the ECM (engine control
module). This controls the rate of slip by comparing
the engine speed and the turbine shaft speed.
The TSS sensor and the OSS sensor use the Hall
effect principle. The TCM can regulate the slip in
the torque converter by comparing the engine
speed with the transmission speed.
All parameters for actuating the clutches and the
TCC are determined by the TCM as a function of
the operating parameters. The automatic transaxle
features a self-learning strategy.
The fundamental parameters for gear shifting are
the accelerator pedal position and the vehicle
speed.
Gear selection can either be performed
automatically or in select-shift mode. The selected

The function is divided into an electronic and a
hydraulic control system.
Electronic Control System
Depending on the input signals, the TCM mounted
on the transmission actuates the solenoid valves
in the valve body. The TCM calculates and stores
adaptive data, fault codes and values for diagnosis.
The TR sensor is integrated in the TCM.
Hydraulic Control System
When the engine is running, a fluid pump integrated
in the transaxle housing generates the hydraulic pressure required for controlling the automatic
transaxle.
Through actuation of the solenoid valves, hydraulic
pressure is applied to the clutches and brakes via
hydraulic channels in the valve body and the
transaxle. The control valves regulate the hydraulic
pressure in accordance with the duty cycle of the
electrical PWM signal. The controlled hydraulic
pressure enables smooth shifting or the generation
of a defined slip through actuation of the relevant
clutches and brakes.
Solenoid valves are either in the 'open' or 'closed'
state.Type plate

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

FORD KUGA 2011.0MY WORKSHOP REPAIR MANUAL

The TCM detects uphill driving by comparing the
engine load transmitted by the PCM with the engine
speed. If the engine load increases and the engine
speed falls, then the TCM causes the transaxle to
shift to a lower transmission range in order to
increase the traction force.
Downhill driving
The TCM detects downhill driving by comparing
the engine load and engine speed values
transmitted by the PCM with the OSS sensor
signal. In order to prevent overloading of the
vehicle brakes, the TCM causes the transaxle to
shift to a lower transmission range.
Hill-hold function
If the vehicle is stopped on an uphill incline, the
TCM detects this through the faster drop in engine
speed compared with the drop in engine speed
when stopping on the flat. In this situation, the
hydraulics are actuated by the TCM in such a way
that the vehicle is prevented from rolling back. This
function is not used on steep inclines.
If the vehicle is parked on an uphill incline (ignition
switched off), the hill-hold function is not active
when pulling away.
Altitude correction
Lower air density results in reduced engine
performance. In order to compensate for this
operating situation, the TCM changes the shift
points.
Selector lever lock
To prevent the selector lever being accidentally
moved from the P or N position, the vehicle also
has an electrically operated selector lever lock.
This blocks the locking pin in the locking segment
and thus locks the selector lever in the P or N
position.
Shifting from P into another transmission
range
To be able to move the selector lever from P into
another transmission range, the ignition must be
switched on and the brake pedal must be
depressed (stop light switch on). The TCM detects
the position of the brake pedal via the CAN data
bus and the engaged transmission range from the
TR sensor.
The signal is then transferred from the TCM to the
select-shift switch module in order to activate the
solenoid valve in the selector mechanism
assembly.
In position P, the solenoid valve is activated and
the locking pin is pulled in so that the lock button
on the selector lever can be pressed as usual to
engage another transmission range.
In the selector mechanism assembly there is a Hall
sensor which is affected by a permanent magnet
on the gate of the selector mechanism assembly.
If the selector lever is moved from the P position,
both the Hall sensor and the selector lever lock
solenoid are simultaneously deactivated, to prevent
the selector from being kept in the N position.
If the ignition is set to "I" or "0" the solenoid valve
is deactivated. When the selector lever is in the P
position, it is mechanically locked because it has
no voltage.
Shifting from N into another transmission
range
The conditions are the same as for shifting from P
into another transmission range.
However, the lock button on the selector lever must
be pressed to be able to select R or P.
