A/T CONTROL SYSTEM

TCM FunctionBCS000ZP
The function of the TCM is to:

Receive input signals sent from various switches and sensors.

Determine required line pressure, shifting point, lock-up operation, and engine brake operation.

Send required output signals to the respective solenoids.
CONTROL SYSTEM OUTLINE
The automatic transmission senses vehicle operating conditions through various sensors or signals. It always
controls the optimum shift position and reduces shifting and lock-up shocks.

CAN CommunicationBCS000ZQ
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle mul-
tiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Many elec-
tronic control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with other
control units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control units are connected with 2
communication lines (CAN H line, CAN L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission with less wiring.
Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only. For details, refer to LAN-49,
"CAN System Specification Chart" .
Input/Output Signal of TCMBCS000ZR
*1: Spare for vehicle speed sensor·A/T (revolution sensor)
*2: Spare for accelerator pedal position signal
*3: If these input and output signals are different, the TCM triggers the fail-safe function.
*4: Used as a condition for starting self-diagnostics; if self-diagnostics are not started, it is judged that there is some kind of error.
*5: Input by CAN communications.
*6: Output by CAN communications.Control itemLine

AT LOW FLUID TEMPERATURE

A/T fluid viscosity and frictional characteristics of the clutch facing change with A/T fluid temperature.
Clutch engaging or band-contacting pressure is compensated for, according to A/T fluid temperature, to
stabilize shifting quality.

The line pressure is reduced below 60°C (140°F) to prevent
shifting shock due to low viscosity of A/T fluid when temperature
is low.

Line pressure is increased to a maximum irrespective of the
throttle opening when A/T fluid temperature drops to −10°C
(14°F). This pressure rise is adopted to prevent a delay in clutch
and brake operation due to extreme drop of A/T fluid viscosity at
low temperature.
Shift ControlBCS000ZT
The shift is regulated entirely by electronic control to accommodate vehicle speed and varying engine opera-
tions. This is accomplished by electrical signals transmitted by the revolution sensor and the ECM (accelerator
pedal position sensor). This results in improved acceleration performance and fuel economy.
CONTROL OF SHIFT SOLENOID VALVES A AND B
The TCM activates shift solenoid valves A and B according to sig-
nals from the accelerator pedal position sensor and revolution sen-
sor to select the optimum gear position on the basis of the shift
schedule memorized in the TCM.
The shift solenoid valve performs simple ON-OFF operation. When
set to “ON”, the drain circuit closes and pilot pressure is applied to
the shift valve.

A/T CONTROL SYSTEM

CONTROL OF SHIFT VALVES A AND B
Pilot pressure generated by the operation of shift solenoid valves A and B is applied to the end face of shift
valves A and B.
The figure above shows the operation of shift valve B. When the shift solenoid valve is “ON”, pilot pressure
applied to the end face of the shift valve overcomes spring force, moving the valve upward.
Lock-up ControlBCS000ZU
The torque converter clutch piston in the torque converter is locked to eliminate torque converter slip to
increase power transmission efficiency. The solenoid valve is controlled by an ON-OFF duty signal sent from
the TCM. The signal is converted to an oil pressure signal which controls the torque converter clutch piston.
CONDITIONS FOR LOCK-UP OPERATION
When vehicle is driven in 3rd and 4th gear position, vehicle speed and throttle opening are detected. If the
detected values fall within the lock-up zone memorized in the TCM, lock-up is performed.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS

TROUBLE DIAGNOSISPFP:00004
DTC Inspection Priority ChartBCS000ZX
If some DTCs are displayed at the same time, perform inspections one by one based on the following priority
chart.
NOTE:
If DTC “CAN COMM CIRCUIT” is displayed with other DTCs, first perform the trouble diagnosis for
“CAN COMMUNICATION LINE”. Refer to AT- 1 3 3
.
Fail-safeBCS000ZY
The TCM has an electronic Fail-safe mode. This allows the vehicle to be driven even if a major electrical input/
output device circuit is damaged.
Under Fail-safe, the vehicle always runs in third gear, even with a shift lever position of “1”, “2”, “3” or “D”. The
customer may complain of sluggish or poor acceleration.
Always follow the AT- 3 7 , "
WORK FLOW" .
The SELF-DIAGNOSIS results will be as follows:

The first SELF-DIAGNOSIS will indicate damage to the vehicle speed sensor or the revolution sensor.

During the next SELF-DIAGNOSIS, performed after checking the sensor, no damages will be indicated.
FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION
The following fail-safe functions allow vehicles to be driven even when sensor, switch or solenoid malfunction
occurs.
Vehicle Speed Sensor 1 (Revolution Sensor)
Vehicle speed sensor 2 signal is input from combination meter.
Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor Signal
TCM controls the throttle opening angle to a predetermined fixed position to enable driving if a malfunctioning
signal is input to TCM.
Park/Neutral Position (PNP) Switch
When the multiple PNP switch signals are input to TCM, the priority of selector lever position becomes “D”·“3”,
“N”, “R”, “2” and “1” in order by internal TCM determination.
The use of 4th gear is inhibited until normal operation resumes. Because the hydraulic circuit of the control
valve is switched by manual valve according to the selector lever position, however, actual operating condition
of vehicle becomes as follows.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS

6. Accelerate to wide open throttle gradually while applying foot
brake.
7. Quickly note the engine stall revolution and immediately release
throttle.
CAUTION:
Do not hold down the accelerator pedal for more than 5 sec-
onds during this test.
8. Move selector lever to “N” position.
9. Cool off ATF.
CAUTION:
Run engine at idle for at leas 1 minute.
10. Repeat steps 6 through 9 with selector lever in “3”, “2”, “1” and
“R” positions.
Judgement of Stall Test
The test result and possible damaged components relating to each result are shown in the illustrations on next
page.
In order to pinpoint the possible damaged components, refer to AT- 3 7 , "
Work Flow Chart" .
NOTE:
Stall revolution is too high in “D”, “3”, “2”, or “1” position:

Slippage occurs in 1st gear but not in 2nd and 3rd gears. ..... Low one-way clutch slippage

Slippage occurs in the following gears:
1st through 3rd gears in “D” position and engine brake functions with selector lever set to “3” position.
1st and 2nd gears in “2” position and engine brake functions with accelerator pedal released (fully closed
throttle)...... Forward clutch or forward one-way clutch slippage
Stall revolution is too high in “R” position:

Engine brake does not function in “1” position. ..... Low & reverse brake slippage

Engine brake functions in “1” position. ..... Reverse clutch slippage
Stall revolution within specifications:

converter housing
CAUTION:
Be careful since automatic fluid temperature increases abnormally.

Slippage occurs in 3rd and 4th gears in “D” position. ..... High clutch slippage

Slippage occurs in 2nd and 4th gear in “D” position. ..... Brake band slippage

Engine brake does not function in 2nd and 3rd gears in “D” position with 3rd position switch set to ON, 2nd
gear in “2” position, and 1st gear in “1” position. ..... Overrun clutch slippage
Stall revolution less than specifications:

Poor acceleration during starts. ..... One-way clutch seizure in torque converterStall revolution
