POWER STEERING - Oil Pump
OIL PUMP13A0067
Insi
m-
The oil pump has a separate oil reservoir; it is a vane-type pumpthat generates hydraulic pressure by the rotor, vanes and cam
;Inhz oil pump incorporates a flow-control valve (in order to
reduce the power-assist effect during high-speed driving and
thereby improve steering stability) and a relief valve (in order to
maintain the hydraulic pressure and steering linkage rela-
tionship).
NOTEThe relief valve is incorporated within the flow-control valve.
.OPERATION OF THE OIL PUMP
The rotation of the rotor causes the ten vanes to move radially
by centrifugal force, and when there is rotation along the cam
curved surface of the circular cam ring, there is action in the
radial direction along the cam curved surface.
The fluid chamber is formed by the cam ring, rotor and vanes;
when the rotor rotates the inner surface of the cam ring
(circular), the fluid chamber pressure changes to negative
pressure, with the result that the fluid within the oil reservoir,
which is at atmospheric pressure, is drawn in (suction step),
after which the rotor rotates further, discharging the fluid
(discharge step).
The action of this pump is two intake strokes and two
discharge strokes for each vane during one rotation of the rotor.

GENERAL INFORMATION
W5M33 transaxle is a transaxle for 4WD, having
center differential mounted on the output shaft ofwheels. Using the viscous coupling as a device for
the conventional front
wheeledrive type transaxle solimiting differential of the center differential, this

composed of a rear clutch retainer, disc, plates, and
a piston. When the piston is actuated by the oil
pressure, the multiple disc clutch is connected,
conveying driving force from the input shaft to the
forward sun gear in the planetary gear set. The rear
clutch is always actuated when the shift is in first,
second and third gears.

AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE - Transaxle Control21-43
“YIR PAllERN CONTROL
,e gear shifting sequence is performed as follows:
(1) The transaxle control unit stores two types of
shift patterns, namely the power pattern and the
economy pattern in its internal memory.
The driver selects either of the two shift
patterns by using the power/economy select
switch, which determines the shift pattern that
is to be used.
While the transaxle is cold [oil temperature is

pattern
20°C (68°F) or lower], the economy pattern is
used exclusively.
The transaxle control unit monitors the throttle
position sensor output (which detects the de-
gree that the throttle valve is open) and the
pulse generator
B output (which detects output
shaft speed) and when it determines that the
shift line of the shift pattern has been crossed, it
issues a shift command.

The vehicle-speed sensor is the transistor open collector type;
it generates pulse signals (four pulse signals for each rotation
of the gear) that are proportional to the rotational speed of the
transaxle’s output gear (and therefore proportional to the
vehicle speed) and sends these signals to the transaxle control
unit. This sensor is installed in the speedometer.
AIR CONDlTlONER RELAY
In order to adjust the improper correspondence between the
engine output and throttle valve opening that is caused by an
air conditioner load, the transaxle control unit corrects the
solenoid drive duty when an on-signal from the air conditioner
relay is detected.
OIL TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The oil temperature sensor is of the thermister type,
an+senses the automatic transaxle fluid temperature.
Using the signal from this sensor, the transaxle control unit
corrects the solenoid drive duty when the transaxle is cold.
The sensor output characteristics areindicated on the graph at
the left.
POWER/ECONOMY SELECT SWITCH
This switch permits the driver to intentionally select either shift
pattern.
The power pattern is designed for use when high power
‘*needed, when driving on mountain roads, or when acceleratirl,
to pass other vehicles at high speed.
The economy pattern is designed for ordinan/ driving.
ltprovides good fuel economy and quiet operating conditions.

AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE - Transaxle Control21-55HYDRAULIC CONTROL SYSTEM
Reaction shaft
support
BushingThe hydraulic control system consists of an oil pump which
generates hydraulic pressure for the system, and valves and
solenoid valves to control the pressure or switch the oil
passages. The valves and solenoid valves are all built in the
valve body.
OIL PUMPOil pump generates the pressure for supplying oil to the torque
converter, for lubricating frictional parts of the planetary gear
set and the overrunning clutch, etc., and for activating the
hydraulic control system.
The pump is of the inner-teeth engaging involute gear type. It
always generates the oil pressure when the engine is running
since the drive gear
is driven by 2 pawls of the pump drive hub
welded at the center of the torque converter shell.
