General Definition
Line Pressure The main fluid pressure in a hydraulic system created by the pump and pressure
regulator valve.
Manual Valve A spool valve that distributes fluid to various hydraulic circuits and is mechanically
linked to the gear selector lever.
Orifice A restricting device (usually a hole in the spacer plate) for controlling pressure build up
into another circuit.
Overdrive An operating condition in the gear set allowing output speed to be higher than input
speed and output torque to be lower than input torque.
Overrunning The function of a one-way mechanical clutch that allows the clutch to freewheel during certain operating conditions of the transmission.
Pedal Position The percentage angle of the accelerator pedal as displayed by Tech 2.
Pinion Gears Pinion gears (housed in a carrier) that are in constant mesh with a circumferential
internal gear and centralised sun gear.
Planetary Gear Set An assembly of gears that consists of an internal gear, planet pinion gears with a carrier, and a sun gear.
Pressure A measurable force that is exerted on an area and expressed as kilopascals (kPa).
Pulse Width Modulated (PW M) An electronic signal that continuously cycles the On and Off time of a device (such as
a solenoid) while varying the amount of On time.
Race (Inner or Outer) A highly polished steel surface that contacts bearings or sprag or roller elements.
Reduction (Gear Reduction) An operating condition in the gear set allowing output speed to be lower than input speed and output torque to be higher than input torque.
Residual Fluid Pressure Excess pressure contained within an area after the supply pressure has been terminated.
Roller Clutch A mechanical clutch (holding device) consisting of roller bearings assembled between inner and outer races.
Servo A spring loaded device consisting of a piston in a bore that is operated (stroked) by
hydraulic pressure to apply or release a band.
Spool Valve A round hydraulic control valve often containing a variety of land and valley diameters.
Sprag Clutch A mechanical clutch (holding device consisting of "figure eight" like elements
assembled between inner and outer races.
Staking The effect of deforming, peening over or riveting a shaft to provide a solid mounting.
Throttle Position The travel of the throttle plate that is expressed in percentages and measured by
Tech 2.
Torque A measurable twisting force expressed in terms of Newton metres (Nm).
Torque Converter A component of an automatic transmission, (attached to the engine flex plate) that
transfers torque from the engine to the transmission through a fluid coupling.
Torx Plus Bit A special tool used for the removal of the bell housing. Precision tip fit means that cam
out of the bolt head is virtually eliminated.
NOTE
Torx 
Plus Bits are different from normal Torx 
Bits
Transmission Control Module
(TCM) An electronic device that manages the vehicle's engine and automatic transmission
functions.
Variable Capacity Pump The device that provides fluid for operating the hydraulic circuits in the transmission. The amount of fluid supplied varies depending on vehicle operating conditions.

7A2-140 TRANSMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (JR405E)
• Electrically Erasable Programmable Read OnlyMemory (EEPROM)
This type of memory allows selected portions of
memory to be programmed while other portions
remain unchanged.
Certain learned values reside in the EEPROM,
such as:
- The vehicle identification number (VIN)
- The software/ calibrations identification numbers
- The control module security information
• Flash Read Only Memory-Flash Memory
Flash memory has increased memory storage capacity.
During programming, all information within this type of
memory is erased, and then replaced with entirely new
information.
Service Programming Methods
The two methods of programming a TCM are listed
below:
• Remote Programming
• Pass Thru Programming
For information on programming a TCM using one of
the methods listed above, refer to Service
Programming System (SPS) (Remote Procedure) or
Service Programming System (SPS) (Pass-Thru
Procedure).
Before Programming a Control Module
Important: DO NOT program an existing TCM with the
identical software/ calibration package. This procedure
is not a short cut to correct the driveability condition.
This is an ineffective repair. An TCM should only be
programmed when the following occurs:
• When a service procedure instructs you to replace the TCM.
• An updated software/ calibrations is released.
Ensure that the following conditions are met before
programming a TCM:
• The scan tool PCMCIA card is programmed with the latest software.
• The TIS 2000 is installed with the latest software.
• The hardware key is plugged into the computer port.
• Vehicle system voltage:
- There are no charging system concerns. Allcharging system concerns must be repaired
before programming the TCM.
- The battery voltage is greater than 12 volts but less than 16 volts. The battery must be fully
charged before programming the TCM.
- A battery charger is NOT connected to the vehicles battery. Incorrect system voltage or
voltage fluctuations from a battery charger may
cause programming failure or TCM damage. - Turn OFF or disable any system that may put a
load on the vehicles battery. Turn OFF or
disable systems such as:
◊ Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning
(HVAC) systems
◊ Headlights
◊ Room lights
◊ Accessory equipment
• The ignition switch is in the proper position. The scan tool prompts you to turn ON the ignition, with
the engine OFF. DO NOT change the position of
the ignition switch during the programming
procedure unless instructed to do so.
• All tool connections are secure:
- The RS-232 cable
- The connection at the DLC
- The voltage supply circuits
• DO NOT disturb the tool harnesses while programming. If an interruption occurs during the
programming procedure, programming failure or
TCM damage may occur.
• If you are performing the Pass-Thru programming procedure using a notebook computer without the
power cord, ensure that the internal battery is fully
charged.
Service Programming System (SPS)
(Remote Procedure)
Notice: Some module will not accept SPS remote
procedure using 10MB PCMCIA card. In such case,
use 32MB PCMCIA card or SPS pass-thru procedure.
The Remote SPS method is a three-step process that
involves the following procedures:
1. Connecting the scan tool to the vehicle and obtaining the information from the TCM.
2. Connecting the scan tool to the terminal and downloading a new calibration file from the
terminal into the scan tool memory.
3. Reconnecting the scan tool to the vehicle and uploading the new calibration file into the TCM.
Performing the Remote Procedure 1. Connect a scan tool to the vehicle and obtain the TCM information using the following procedure:
Notice: Ensure the TCM is installed in the vehicle and
the battery is fully charged before programming.
a. Install a scan tool.
b. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
c. Select Service Programming System (SPS) > Request Info.
