Measure Time Lag
1. Fully apply the parking brake.
2. Start the engine. Check idling speed (A/C OFF).
3. Shift the shift lever from “N" to “D" range. Using a
stopwatch, measure the time it takes from shifting
the lever until the shock is felt.
Time lag: Less than 0.7 seconds
4. In same manner, measure the time lag for “N"


“R".
Time lag: Less than 1.2 seconds
Evaluation
1. If “N" 
“ D" time lag is longer than specified:

Line pressure too low
 Forward clutch malfunction
 No.2 one-way clutch not operating properly
2. If “N" 
“ R" time lag is longer than specified:

Line pressure too low
 Direct clutch malfunction
 No.3 brake malfunction
3. If both time lag is longer than specified:

r
shifting into the “P" range, release the parking brake.
Then check to see that the parking lock pawl holds the
vehicle in place.

Transmission Fluid Level and Condition
Inspection
Park vehicle on level ground and set parking brake.
With the engine idling, move the shift lever through all
positions from “P" to “L", then return to position “P".
Check to see if the level of fluid comes to “HOT" range
of about 80 
 

C (176 
 

F) on the dipstick gauge.
If the level of fluid is too low, replenish to bring it to
maximum level in “HOT" range.
Inspection of fluid condition. If the ATF is black o
r
smells burnt, replace it.

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.

7A1-10 CONSTRUCTION AND FUNCTION
INPUT SHAFT

The input shaft has some oil holes, through which lubricating ATF is supplied to the torque converter,
bearings, etc.

The input shaft is fitted the turbine runner in the torque converter, reverse & high clutch drum and rear sun
gear by means of the spline. Therefore, the engine driving force received by the torque converter is
transmitted to the reverse & high clutch drum and rear sun gear.

OUTPUT SHAFT

The output shaft has some oil holes, through which the lubricating ATF is supplied to the bearings,
planetary gear unit, etc.

The output shaft transmits the engine driving force from the planetary gear to the propeller shaft.

The front internal gear is fitted with the rear carrier assembly by spline. The parking gear is also fitted by
spline. By fixing this gear mechanically, the output shaft is fixed as required when parking the vehicle.

GEAR SHIFTING MECHANISM

The JR405E consists of two sets of planetary gears, three multiple plate clutches, two multiple plate
brakes and a one-way clutch. They are activated in different combinations in any of four forward and one
reverse gear positions.

Principle of gear shifting (Figure 12)

Planetary gears have the advantage of a compact configuration because of the way they are constructed
with a single central shaft.

Also, unlike the manual transmission gears that require changing of gear mesh, the gear ratio of the
planetary gears can be changed more easily by locking, releasing or rotating only some of their parts.

A planetary gear is made up of a sun gear (1) at its center and pinion gears (2) each of which rotates
about its own center and also along the sun gear, as shown. They are all called in the internal gear (3).

Also, since the pinion gears are further supported by the planetary carrier (4), they rotate as a unit in the
same direction and at the same rate.

As shown above, each planetary gears are constructed of three elements; a sun gear, pinion gears, and
internal gear and a planetary carrier. Gear shifting is achieved by conditioning two of the three elements
namely the sun gear, internal gear and the planetary carrier.

The planetary gears are locked by the clutch, brake and one-way clutch according to the gear shifting.

7A1-38 CONSTRUCTION AND FUNCTION
P Range
Though the driving force of the input shaft is transmitted to the rear sun gear and reverse & high clutch drum,
the driving force is not transmitted to the output shaft since all of the clutches and brakes are not engaged.
Therefore, the vehicle can move at this condition. However, since the output shaft is mechanically locked
with the parking pawl, the rear planetary carrier and front internal gear are locked. For this reason, the
vehicle does not move.
