Centrifugal Cancel MechanismUCS005MK
FUNCTION
The centrifugal cancel mechanism is a mechanism to cancel the centrifugal hydraulic pressure instead of the
conventional check balls. It cancels the centrifugal hydraulic pressure which is generated as high clutch drum
rotates, and it allows for preventing high clutch from dragging and for providing stable high clutch piston press-
ing force in all revolution speeds.
STRUCTURE/OPERATION
A centrifugal cancel housing is provided to cancel the clutch housing pressure. The centrifugal cancel housing
is always filled with ATF from the dedicated fluid passage of oil pump.
When Clutch Pressure Is Not Applied
As high clutch drum rotates, a centrifugal force applies to the remaining ATF in clutch housing to push high
clutch piston. However, on the other hand, the centrifugal force also applies to ATF filled in centrifugal cancel
housing, resulting in a force that pushes high clutch piston back. Consequently the high clutch piston does not
move because both forces cancel each other, and thus high clutch is prevented from dragging.
When Clutch Pressure Is Applied
Clutch pressure that applies to clutch housing overcomes the fluid pressure and spring force of the opposing
centrifugal housing to push high clutch piston, and high clutch is engaged. At this time, the centrifugal force
caused by the revolution speed of high clutch drum has no impact any more since the centrifugal force that
applies to the clutch pressure of clutch housing is canceled by the centrifugal force that applies to centrifugal
cancel housing. As a result, high clutch piston pressing force is always stable in all revolution speeds, and
thus smooth shifting characteristics are achieved.

Shift Solenoid Valve A and B
If non-standard solenoid signal is sent to TCM, use of certain gears is limited. Refer to chart shown below.

: Solenoid ON
×: Solenoid OFF
–: Non-standard condition
Line Pressure Solenoid Valve
If non-standard solenoid signal is sent to TCM, line pressure solenoid valve is turned OFF to achieve maxi-
mum oil pressure.
Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid Valve
If non-standard solenoid signal is sent to TCM, torque converter clutch solenoid valve is turned OFF to release
lock-up.
Overrun Clutch Solenoid Valve
If non-standard solenoid signal is sent to TCM, overrun clutch solenoid valve is turned OFF to engage overrun
clutch. This will result in more effective engine brake during deceleration.

A/T FLUID CHECK
Fluid Leakage and Fluid Level Check
Check fluid leakage and check the fluid level. Refer to AT-16, "Checking A/T Fluid" .
Fluid Condition Check
Check the A/T fluid condition.
STALL TEST
Stall Test Procedure
1. Check ATF and engine oil levels. If necessary, add ATF and
engine oil.
2. Drive vehicle for approximately 10 minutes or until ATF and
engine oil reach operating temperature.
3. Set parking brake and block wheels.
4. Install a tachometer where it can be seen by driver during test.

It is good practice to mark the point of specified engine
rpm on indicator.
5. Start engine, apply foot brake, and place selector lever in “D”
position.

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 the engine at idle for at least 1 minute.
10. Repeat steps 6 through 9 with selector lever in “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-46, "
Work Flow Chart" .
NOTE:
Stall revolution is too high in “D”, “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 OD OFF. (OD OFF indicator lamp is
on.)
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:

Vehicle does not achieve speed of more than 80 km/h (50 MPH). ..... One-way clutch seizure in torque
converter housing
CAUTION:
Be careful because automatic fluid temperature increases abnormally:

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

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

Engine brake does not function in 2nd and 3rd gears in “D” position, 2nd gear in “2” position, and 1st gear
in “1” position with OD OFF. (OD OFF indicator lamp is on.) ..... Overrun clutch slippage
Stall revolution less than specifications:

Poor acceleration during starts. ..... One-way clutch seizure in torque converterStall revolution: 2,300 - 2,750 rpm

For example, line pressure is:
− Low in “R” and “1” positions, but
− Normal in “D”, and “2” positions.
Therefore, fluid leakage exists at or around low and reverse brake circuit.
