COMPONENT PARTS
A/T CONTROL SYSTEM : TCM
INFOID:0000000006226740
 The TCM consists of a microcomputer and connectors for signal input and output and for power supply. The
TCM controls the A/T.
 The TCM is integral with the control valve assembly and built into the A/T assembly.
A/T CONTROL SYSTEM : Tr ansmission Range SwitchINFOID:0000000006226741
 The transmission range switch incorpor ates four contact switches. Each contact switch transmits an ON/
OFF signal to the TCM.
 The TCM judges a select lever position from a comb ination of ON/OFF signals transmitted from each con-
tact switch.
A/T CONTROL SYSTEM : Input Speed SensorINFOID:0000000006226742
The input speed sensor detects input shaft rpm (revolutions per minute). It is located on the input side of the A/
T. Monitors revolution of sensor 1 and sensor 2 for non-standard conditions.
A/T CONTROL SYSTEM : Output Speed SensorINFOID:0000000006226743
The output speed sensor detects the revolution of t he parking gear and emits a pulse signal. The pulse signal
is transmitted to the TCM which converts it into vehicle speed.
A/T CONTROL SYSTEM : A/T Fluid Temperature SensorINFOID:0000000006226744
The A/T fluid temperature sensor detects the A/T fluid temperature and transmits a signal to the TCM.
A/T CONTROL SYSTEM : Input Clutch Solenoid ValveINFOID:0000000006226745
 The Input clutch solenoid valve is controlled by the TCM in response to signals transmitted from the trans-
mission range switch, output speed sensor and accelerato r pedal position sensor. Gears will then be shifted
to the optimum position.
 The Input clutch solenoid valve controls the input cl utch control valve in response to a signal transmitted
from the TCM.
A/T CONTROL SYSTEM : Front Brake Solenoid ValveINFOID:0000000006226746
 The front brake solenoid valve is controlled by the TC M in response to signals transmitted from the transmis-
sion range switch, output speed sensor and accelerator pedal position sensor. Gears will then be shifted to
the optimum position.
 The front brake solenoid valve controls the front brak e control valve in response to a signal transmitted from
the TCM.
A/T CONTROL SYSTEM : Direc t Clutch Solenoid ValveINFOID:0000000006226747
 The direct clutch solenoid valve is controlled by t he TCM in response to signals transmitted from the trans-
mission range switch, output speed sensor and accelerato r pedal position sensor. Gears will then be shifted
to the optimum position.
 The direct clutch solenoid valve controls the direct clutch control valve in response to a signal transmitted
from the TCM.

A/T CONTROL SYSTEM : High and Lo w Reverse Clutch Solenoid ValveINFOID:0000000006226748
 The high and low reverse clutch solenoid valve is controlled by the TCM in response to signals transmitted
from the transmission range switch, output speed sens or and accelerator pedal position sensor. Gears will
then be shifted to the optimum position.
 The high and low reverse clutch solenoid valve controls the high and low reverse clutch control valve in response to a signal transmitted from the TCM.
A/T CONTROL SYSTEM : Lo w Brake Solenoid ValveINFOID:0000000006226749
 The low brake solenoid valve is controlled by the TC M in response to signals transmitted from the transmis-
sion range switch, output speed sensor and accelerator pedal position sensor. Gears will then be shifted to
the optimum position.
 The low brake solenoid valve controls the low brake control valve in response to a signal transmitted from
the TCM.
A/T CONTROL SYSTEM : Anti-interlock Solenoid ValveINFOID:0000000006226750
 Anti-interlock solenoid valve prevents the simultaneous activation of the input clutch and the low brake.
 The anti-interlock solenoid valve is an ON/OFF type solenoid valve.
A/T CONTROL SYSTEM : 2 346 Brake Solenoid ValveINFOID:0000000006226751
 The 2346 brake solenoid valve is controlled by the TC M in response to signals transmitted from the trans-
mission range switch, output speed sensor and accelera tor pedal position sensor. Gears will then be shifted
to the optimum position.
 The 2346 brake solenoid valve controls the 2346 brake c ontrol valve in response to a signal transmitted from
the TCM.
A/T CONTROL SYSTEM : Torque Co nverter Clutch Solenoid ValveINFOID:0000000006226752
The torque converter clutch solenoid va lve is activated, with the gear in D2, D3, D4, D5, D6, D7, M2, M3, M4,
M5, M6 and M7 by the TCM in response to signals tr ansmitted from the output speed sensor and accelerator
pedal position sensor. Torque converter clut ch piston operation will then be controlled.
A/T CONTROL SYSTEM : Line Pressure Solenoid ValveINFOID:0000000006226753
The line pressure solenoid valve regulates the oil pum p discharge pressure to suit the driving condition in
response to a signal transmitted from the TCM.
A/T CONTROL SYSTEM : Accele rator Pedal Position SensorINFOID:0000000006226754
 The accelerator pedal position sensor is installed on the upper end of the accelerator pedal assembly.
 The accelerator pedal position sensor detects the accelerator position.
 The accelerator pedal position sensor transform the a ccelerator pedal position into output voltage, and emit
the voltage signal to the ECM. Then, the TCM receives accelerator pedal position signal from the ECM via
CAN communication.
A/T CONTROL SYSTEM : Manual Mode SwitchINFOID:0000000006226755
 The manual mode switch [mode select switch and position se lect switch (shift-up/shift-down)] is installed in
the A/T shift selector assembly.
 The mode select switch detects the position (the main shift gate side or manual shift gate side) of the selec-
tor lever and transmits a manual mode signal or a not manual mode signal to the combination meter. Then,
the TCM receives a manual mode signal or non-manual mode signal from the combination meter.
 The position select switch (shift-up) detects that the se lector lever is shifted to the shift-up side of the manual
shift gate and transmits a manual mode shift up signal to the combination meter. Then, the TCM receives a
manual mode shift up signal from the combination meter.
 The position select switch (shift-down) detects that the selector lever is shifted to the shift-down side of the
manual shift gate and transmits a manual mode shift down signal to the combination meter. Then, the TCM
receives a manual mode shift down signal from the combination meter.
