TRANSMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (AW30 –40LE) (V6 3.5L) 7A2-11

Comparison of mode
1. The normal drive mode is set at the normal shift
points.
2. The shift points of the power drive mode are shifted
to the higher speed side, compared to the normal
drive mode.
3. The 3rd start mode is a special mode used
exclusively for starting in third gear.
3rd start Mode
1. The 3rd start switch will operate when switched on
after all of the following conditions are present:
a. The gear select position is “D" range only.
b. Vehicle speed is 11 km/h (7 mph) or less.
c. Transmission oil temperature is 120

C (248

F)
or less.
d. Accelerator opening is at 8% or less.
2. Cancel Release
1. Cancellation by driver
a. Turning off the 3rd start mode switch
b. Shifting select position to “3", “2", or “L" (3rd
start mode is not canceled by selecting “N",
“ R", or “P")
c. Ignition key is turned off.
2. Automatic cancellation
a. When vehicle runs at 34 km/h (21mph) o
r
more for 1 second or more
b. When transmission oil temperature reaches 120

C (284

F) or above
NOTE: The mode returns to normal drive mode o
r
power drive mode after the 3rd start mode is canceled.
Backup Mode
If a major system failure occurs which could affect
safety or damage the transmission under normal
vehicle operation, the diagnostic system detects the
fault and overrides the Transmission Control Module
(TCM).
The “CHECK TRANS" light flashes to alert the driver,
and the transmission must be manually shifted as
follows:


Select lever position Gear Ratio Selected
D 4 (Fourth)
Manual 3 4 (Fourth)
Manual 2 3 (Third)
Manual L 3 (Third)
R Reverse
Shifts are firmer to prevent clutch slip and consequent
wear. The fault should be corrected as soon as
possible.

TRANSMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (AW30 –40LE) (V6 3.5L) 7A2-13

CAN bus systems in automatic
transmission control (AW30-40LE)
The automatic transmission control system in AW30-
40LE uses high speed CAN bus system .The individual
CAN bus systems are connected via two interfaces and
can exchange information and data. This allows control
modules that are connected to different CAN bus
systems to communicate.
High speed CAN bus
Transmission control modules in the vehicle that require
continuous, rapid communication are connected to the
high speed CAN bus. For example, the automatic
transmission is continuously notified of the current
engine load status. Since the automatic transmission
control module has to react immediately to load status
changes, rapid communication is required between the
engine control module and the automatic transmission
control module. The high speed CAN bus in the AW30-
40LE is designed as a two-wire CAN bus (twisted pair).
The wires are shielded and twisted. The transfer rate is
500 K baud.

How To Diagnose The Problem
1. To avoid incorrect diagnostics, this book needs to
be followed accurately. Unless stated, do not jump
directly to a section that could contain the
solution. Some important information may be
missed.
2. The sections in CAPITALS and bold are the main
sections that can be found in the contents.
3. The go to “
SECTION"
means to continue to check
going to the “section".
4. The go through “
SECTION"
means to go through
the “section" and then to go back to the place the
go through was written.
5. BASIC ELECTRIC CIRCUITS:
You should understand the basic theory o
f
electricity. This includes the meaning of voltage,
amps, ohms, and what happens in a circuit with an
open or shorted wire. You should also be able to
read and understand wiring diagrams.
Check Trans Indicator
Find CHECK TRANS indicator and verify if it is
A. Flashing: Go to DIAGNOSTIC CHECK.
B. Staying on: Go through CHECK TRANS CHECK
.
C. Is never ON when the ignition key is turned on: Go through CHECK TRANS CHECK
D. Is ON during 3 seconds at ignition but OFF after: Normal operation. No DTC or malfunction.

On Board Diagnostic Check
This test determines if the transmission or its input or
output connections or sensors are failing.
1. Connect the Tech 2: Go through Tech 2 OBD
CONNECTION .
2. Turn on the ignition but not the engine.
3. Push “F0" on Tech 2 to see the Diagnostic Trouble
Code (DTC):

7A2-14 TRANSMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (AW30 –40LE) (V6 3.5L)

4. Do you have a DTC?
YES: write down all code numbers and do the DTC
CHECK
NO: the DTC can not help you find the problem.
1. Go through “
CHECK TRANS" CHECK
2. If it is flashing and the flash is 0.4 seconds ON
and 0.4 seconds OFF, this means that you
should have a DTC stored. Please recheck go
to DIAGNOSTIC CHECK
and if you find the
same problem, replace the Powertrain Control
Module (TCM).

(TCM).
4. Indicator is staying OFF with the ignition ON
(engine OFF).
1. This means that connection between the lamp
and the indicator control unit is shorted to
battery or opened.
2.
Verify if instrument panel terminal 2 of
connector B –23 is shorted to battery or open.
3. Verify if the indicator control unit connector C –
95 terminal 3 is shorted to battery or open.
4.
Verify that the instrument panel terminal 2of
connector B –23 is connected to battery. If not,
check the fuses and the connections (terminal
11 of connector H –6) voltage.
