Control ValveECS00FWP
FUNCTION OF CONTROL VALVE
FUNCTION OF PRESSURE SWITCH
Name Function
Torque converter regulator valveIn order to prevent the pressure supplied to the torque converter from being excessive, the
line pressure is adjusted to the optimum pressure (torque converter operating pressure).
Pressure regulator valve
Pressure regulator plug
Pressure regulator sleeveAdjusts the oil discharged from the oil pump to the optimum pressure (line pressure) for
the driving state.
Front brake control valveWhen the front brake is coupled, adjusts the line pressure to the optimum pressure (front
brake pressure) and supplies it to the front brake. (In 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 5th gears, adjusts
theclutchpressure.)
Accumulator control valveAdjusts the pressure (accumulator control pressure) acting on the accumulator piston and
low coast reducing valve to the pressure appropriate to the driving state.
Pilot valve AAdjusts the line pressure and produces the constant pressure (pilot pressure) required for
line pressure control, shift change control, and lock-up control.
Pilot valve BAdjusts the line pressure and produces the constant pressure (pilot pressure) required for
shift change control.
Low coast brake switching valve During engine braking, supplies the line pressure to the low coast brake reducing valve.
Low coast brake reducing valveWhen the low coast brake is coupled, adjusts the line pressure to the optimum pressure
(low coast brake pressure) and supplies it to the low coast brake.
N-R accumulator Produces the stabilizing pressure for when N-R is selected.
Direct clutch piston switching valve Operates in 4th gear and switches the direct clutch coupling capacity.
High and low reverse clutch control valveWhen the high and low reverse clutch is coupled, adjusts the line pressure to the optimum
pressure (high and low reverse clutch pressure) and supplies it to the high and low reverse
clutch. (In 1st, 3rd, 4th and 5th gears, adjusts the clutch pressure.)
Input clutch control valveWhen the input clutch is coupled, adjusts the line pressure to the optimum pressure (input
clutch pressure) and supplies it to the input clutch. (In 4th and 5th gears, adjusts the clutch
pressure.)
Direct clutch control valveWhen the direct clutch is coupled, adjusts the line pressure to the optimum pressure
(direct clutch pressure) and supplies it to the direct clutch. (In 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gears,
adjusts the clutch pressure.)
TCC control valve
TCC control plug
TCC control sleeveSwitches the lock-up to operating or released. Also, by performing the lock-up operation
transiently, lock-up smoothly.
Torque converter lubrication valveOperates during lock-up to switch the torque converter, cooling, and lubrication system oil
path.
Cool bypass valve Allows excess oil to bypass cooler circuit without being fed into it.
Line pressure relief valve Discharges excess oil from line pressure circuit.
N-D accumulator Produces the stabilizing pressure for when N-D is selected.
Manual valveSends line pressure to each circuit according to the select position. The circuits to which
the line pressure is not sent drain.
Name Function
ATFpressureswitch1(FR/B)Detects any malfunction in the front brake hydraulic pressure. When it detects any malfunction,
it puts the system into fail-safe mode.
ATFpressureswitch2(LC/B)Detects any malfunction in the low coast brake hydraulic pressure. When it detects any mal-
function, it puts the system into fail-safe mode.
ATFpressureswitch3(I/C)Detects any malfunction in the input clutch hydraulic pressure. When it detects any malfunction,
it puts the system into fail-safe mode.
ATF pressure switch 5 (D/C)Detects any malfunction in the direct clutch hydraulic pressure. When it detects any malfunc-
tion, it puts the system into fail-safe mode.
ATF pressure switch 6 (HLR/C)Detects any malfunction in the high and low reverse clutch hydraulic pressure. When it detects
any malfunction, it puts the system into fail-safe mode.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
CAUTION:
Run the engine at idle for at least 1 minute.
9. Repeat steps 5 through 8 with selector lever in “3”, “2”, “1” and “R” positions.

H: Stall speed higher than standard value
L: Stall speed lower than standard value

LINE PRESSURE TEST
Line Pressure Test Port
Line Pressure Test Procedure
1. Inspect the amount of engine oil and replenish if necessary.
2. Drive the car for about 10 minutes to warm it up so that the ATF reaches in range of 50 to 80°C(122to
176°F), then inspect the amount of ATF and replenish if necessary.
NOTE:
The A/T fluid temperature rises in range of 50 to 80°C (122 to 176°F) during 10 minutes of driving.
3. After warming up remove the oil pressure detection plug and
install the oil pressure gauge (ST2505S001).
CAUTION:
When using the oil pressure gauge, be sure to use O-ring
attached to the oil pressure detection plug.

4. Securely engage the parking brake so that the tires do not turn.
5. Start the engine, then measure the line pressure at both idle and
the stall speed.
CAUTION:
lKeep the brake pedal pressed all the way down during
measurement.
lWhen measuring the line pressure at the stall speed.
Refer toAT-43, "
STALL TEST".
6. After the measurements are complete, install the oil pressure
detection plug and tighten to the specified torque. Refer toAT-
251, "Components".
CAUTION:
lDo not reuse O-ring.
lApply ATF to O-ring.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
ROAD TEST
Description
lThe road test inspects overall performance of A/T and analyzes possible malfunction causes.
lThe road test is perform in the following three stages.
1. Check before engine is started. Refer toAT-46
.
2. Check at idle. Refer toAT-47
.
3. Cruise test.
lInspect all the items from Part 1 to Part 3. Refer toAT-48,AT-50,AT-51.
lBefore beginning the road test, check the test procedure and inspection items.

YES >> 1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Perform self-diagnosis and record all NG items onAT-38, "
DIAGNOSTIC WORKSHEET".
Refer toAT-80, "
SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULT MODE",AT-89, "TCM SELF-DIAGNOSTIC
PROCEDURE (WITHOUT CONSULT-II)".

lAccelerator pedal position signal malfunction
lTCM malfunction
lLine pressure solenoid malfunction (shorting, sticking in ON state)
lPressure regulator valve or plug sticking
lPilot valve sticking or pilot filter clogged
The pressure rises, but
does not enter the stan-
dard position.Possible causes include malfunctions in the pressure supply system and malfunction in the
pressure adjustment function.
