Fault finding - Role of components
The automatic transmission computer performs the following functions:
–Transmission operating mode selection:
According to the vehicle speed and the driver's request expressed by the accelerator pedal position, the automatic
transmission determines the best moment for the gear change. The automatic transmission computer corrects any
driver errors and inhibits engagement of a gear that would cause the engine to over- or under-rev.
–Gear changes:
Taking into account the various input factors, the computer will decide whether to actuate the various solenoid valves
to ensure smooth system operation (automatic transmission clutches, brakes and hydraulics).
The computer is also involved in:
–the gear change quality,
–protecting the automatic transmission in the event of a malfunction.
–Disengaging clutch when stopped:
This function enables creep* to be inhibited temporarily when the vehicle is stationary with a gear engaged and the
brake pedal depressed.
The aim of this function is to reduce drag on the vehicle in order to:
●reduce fuel consumption,
●reduce vehicle vibrations,
Creep*: describes the action of the vehicle moving forwards without acceleration and with a gear engaged.

"CONVERTER lock-up" FUNCTION:
Aim of this function: The aim of this function is to lock up the converter.
–lock-up/release definition:
The converter is a hydraulic clutch which provides a hydraulic connection between the engine and the automatic
transmission pressure plate.
The purpose of the lock-up function is to lock the turbine and the converter casing together, transforming a hydraulic
connection into a mechanical connection. The role of the lock-up function is to prevent slipping losses.
