Figure 1. Construction of Automatic Transmission

The JR405E automatic transmission is electrically controlled by a microcomputer transmission control module
(TCM). There are four forward speeds and one reverse speed.
This JR405E automatic transmission employs a clutch pressure direct control system (Direct Electronic Shift
Control: DESC) using a duty cycle type solenoid, which ensures high shift quality.
This transmission also controls learning and constantly checks the time of each clutch and brake required for
the speed change to match this time with the target value for the optimum speed change.

The TCM will automatically select the most appropriate shift points and lock-up points depending on the
throttle opening angle, the vehicle speed and the vehicle load.
If any trouble arises in the vehicle sensor, throttle sensor, solenoid, etc., the fail-safe control function is
activated to keep the running performance.
Problems with the sensors, the solenoids can be quickly detected with the self diagnosis procedure described
in this manual.

The JR405E automatic transmission consists of the torque converter, the oil pump, the input shaft, the out put
shaft, the planetary gears and the control valve.
The gear train consists of two planetary gear sets and three multiple plate clutches in combination with two
multiple plate brakes and a one-way clutch.

TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (TCM)

The TCM is fitted side of brake pedal by means of two stud bolts.

The TCM judges necessary line pressure, gear shifting point and lock-up operation based on electrical
signals from switches and sensors and sends appropriate signals to solenoids.

7A2-6 DIAGNOSIS (JR405E)
BASIC TROUBLE SHOOTING

Transmission fluid pressure together with clutch and brake friction and other important transmission functions are
controlled by electrical signal from the Transmission Control Module (TCM).
Random diagnosis can produce inaccurate and misleading indications. It is important that diagnosing procedure be
carried out systematically.
Carefully follow the sequence outlined below to diagnose automatic transmission assembly.

7A3-2 ON-VEHICLE SERVICE (JR405E)
DESCRIPTION
Before performing on-vehicle service on the automatic
transmission, check that the engine idling speed and
general engine condition are normal.



AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID (ATF)
Inspect
Remove the transmission dipstick to check the condition
of the ATF.
Clean the dipstick and look for gum or varnish.
Gum or varnish indicate scorching of the clutch band
and other parts.
The transmission control module, the transmission unit,
and the vehicle must be carefully checked if gum or
varnish is present.




ATF LEVEL
Inspect
Hot Level
1. Warm up the engine and the transmission by driving
the vehicle on the road so that the temperature
reaches around 80
C (176
F).
Do not turn the engine off.
2. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
3. Apply the parking brake firmly.
4. Let the engine run at idle.
Move the select lever slowly through all the gea
r
ranges.
Stop in each gear range just long enough for the
transmission to engage.
5. Return the select lever to either “P” or “N”.
C07RW009
6. Remove the ATF level dipstick.
7. Wipe the dipstick clean with a paper towel.
8. Reinsert the dipstick and wait several seconds.
9. Remove the dipstick.
The ATF level should be inside the “H” range on the
dipstick.
242R300001
If the ATF level is below the “H” range, ATF must be
added.

Remove and Disconnect
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Remove the connectors.
3. Remove the fixing nuts and remove the TCM (1)
from the bracket.
Note:
The TCM is fitted under instrument panel of the driver’s
compartment by means of three stud bolts.


Install or Connect
Follow the removal steps in the reverse order. Be
absolutely sure that the connectors are securely
fastened.
