Electronic Control Item and Control
Component Description (Electronic Control)
Control item Contents
Shift control•Detects engine load condition and vehicle speed. Shifts to the best gear
position according to the programmed automatic shift diagram.
Line pressure control•Generates line pressure matching the engine load condition and driving
conditions. Optimizes line pressure for each shift. When the ATF
temperature is low, automatically optimizes line pressure for quick clutch
engagement.
Revers inhibition control•When the shift lever is shifted to R position while the vehicle is running
forward at approx. 30 km/h{19 mph} or more, the TCM turns the neutral
shift solenoid valve on and drains the low and reverse brake hydraulic
pressure. Due to this, the transaxle shifts to neutral.
Shift transient control•Adjusts transient hydraulic pressure according to engine load and
vehicle driving conditions when shifting using the pressure control
solenoid, 2-4 brake solenoid valve, the high clutch solenoid valve, and
each accumulator control valve.
•Temporarily lowers engine torque during shift (up and down) to improve
shift feel
•The lock timing for the reduction brake band is controlled by the control
of the reduction timing solenoid valve ON/OFF timing.
•The lock timing for the clutch brake is controlled by the control of shift
solenoid A, B, and C ON/OFF timing.
Feedback control•Corrects clutch engagement pressure and timing on drain side to
compensate for changes in engine performance and changes in
transaxle

TRANSAXLE CONTROL MODULE (TCM) DESCRIPTIONA6E571418901202Outline
•The TCM controls the automatic transaxle operations. The TCM outputs a control signal to the transaxle
according to the signal from other sensors and/or switches.
•In driving mode, there are three mode selections: NORMAL, high temp, and SLOPE. The TCM automatically
selects the proper mode according to driving condition.
End Of Sie
SHIFT CONTROL DESCRIPTIONA6E571418901203Outline
Features
•The TCM selects and determines the shift diagram based on the results of the range and driving mode
judgements. Then, based on the shift diagram, the TCM sends the signal to the duty-cycle type solenoid valves
and the ON/OFF type solenoid valves, according to the VSS signal and the throttle opening signal, to perform
shifting.

Operation
Manual mode shift
•When the selector lever is shifted over from the D to M range position, the M range switch in the selector lever
component turns on, sending a manual mode command signal to the PCM which activates the manual mode
shift control.
•When in manual mode and the selector lever is operated in the back (+) direction, the up switch in the selector
lever component is turned on and an up-shift command signal is inputted to the PCM.
—The PCM, triggered by the up-shift command signal, carries out shifting by outputting an operation signal to
the shift solenoid if the ATF temperature is not low (for 3GR only), vehicle speed is higher than the set
speed and the gear position is 3GR or lower.
•Conversely, when the selector lever is operated in the forward (-) direction, the down switch in the selector lever
component turns on, and a down-shift command signal is inputted to the PCM.
—The PCM, triggered by the down-shift command signal, carries out shifting by outputting an operation
signal to the shift solenoid if the vehicle speed is less than the set speed and the gear position is 2GR or
above.
•The PCM utilizes a specialized M range automatic shift diagram when down shifting. This restriction of manual
downshifting is carried out to reduce load on the ATX and prevent engine over-revving.

Operation
Upshift clutch engagement pressure feedback
•Clutch pressure (2) is learned so that gear shift time (1) becomes a predetermined target value, and thus
changes in performance and changes in the transaxle over time are minimized based on past gear shift results.
Upshift timing feedback (release-side clutch pressure)
•Clutch pressure release timing on the release side (2) is learned so that the change in engine speed (1) is
optimized, and thus clutch pressures on the engagement and release sides are optimized.
End Of SieN-D SELECT CONTROL DESCRIPTIONA6E571418901207•When the selector lever is switched from the P or N position to the driving ranges, or vice versa, the engine
speed change is minimized by regulating fuel injection volume in order to improve select feel.
•Range signals are output to the PCM in the following instances:
When the selector lever is switched from the P or N position to the driving ranges, or vice versa, and the
specified time has elapsed.
•The PCM regulates fuel injection volume based on inhibitor signals prevent change in engine speed.
