SEQUENTIAL GEARBOX
Fault finding - System operation
1. Sequential gearbox functions
The electrohydraulic system attached to the gearbox comprises two actuators, one for gear selection and changing,
the other for operating the clutch, and a hydraulic power unit which supplies power to the actuators.
The assembly is linked to the sequential gearbox computer, which itself is linked to the engine management
computer by a multiplex line connection. The gear lever is used to select gears: in automatic mode, gear changes
are controlled by the computer which uses auto-adaptive shift patterns; in manual mode, the driver moves a lever
which, via the computer, change the gears.
When the gear is changed, the sequential gearbox computer controls the engine management computer and the
torque in such a way as to reduce bucking, leaving the driver free to leave his foot on the accelerator pedal.
Description of user operation:
The interface between the driver and the sequential gearbox system inside the passenger compartment comprises:
–a gear lever (mechanical section and internal electronic section),
–a display,
–a buzzer.
Using this interface, the driver can:
–request gear changes (up or down),
–request a specific gear change (into neutral or reverse),
–switch between manual and automatic mode,
Description of passenger compartment control:
Description of gear lever positions:
–“S”: Standby: this is the only stable gear lever position. Each time the driver presses the lever, it returns to the S
position.
–“R”: Reverse: moving the lever to this position enables the driver to select reverse gear. Given the lever position
of the reverse function, if the movement is too slow, the sequential gearbox computer can read the N signal and
hence neutral is selected before reverse.
–“N”: Neutral: moving the lever to this position enables the driver to select neutral.
–“A/M”: AUTO/MANUAL: moving the lever to this position enables the driver to select either the manual mode (or
semi-automatic) or automatic mode. If AUTO mode is selected, moving the lever will enable the driver to select
manual mode, if manual mode is selected; moving the lever will enable the driver to select automatic mode. The automatic mode used by the sequential gearbox is based on the design of the DP0 automatic gearbox which
uses
shift patterns that adapt automatically to the driving style and road conditions.
The gear change is determined by a set of gear change graphs as a function of the accelerator pedal position and
the vehicle speed.
The sequential gearbox is a conventional manual gearbox with an electrohydraulic control.

Fault finding - System operation21B
Operation in MANUAL mode (continued):
–when driving, the selection of “N” is only accepted by the sequential gearbox computer if the driver's foot
is on the brake pedal,
–when driving, selection of reverse gear is prohibited,
–when the vehicle is slowing down and the speed is approaching 0 mph, the sequential gearbox computer
automatically selects 1
st gear.
In manual mode, the driver decides when to change gears by:
–moving the gear lever towards “+” which enables a higher gear to be selected,
–moving the gear lever towards “-” which enables a lower gear to be selected,
–moving the gear lever to “N” which enables neutral to be selected,
–moving the gear lever to “R” which enables reverse gear to be selected.
Operation in AUTO mode:
Automatic mode frees the driver from having to worry about changing gear: instead, the sequential gearbox
computer determines when best to change gear in relation to the different vehicle parameters (speed, acceleration,
position of accelerator pedal etc.,).
The main characteristics of automatic mode are as follows:
–AUTO mode only functions when the engine is running.
–AUTO mode is preselected when the engine is started.
The AUTO mode entry conditions are as follows:
–Moving the gear lever to the left (towards A/M) when manual mode is selected, when a forward gear is
engaged and AUTO mode was selected.
–Engine started.
To exit AUTO mode when driving and under normal operating conditions (no faults), the following exit conditions
must be met:
–Movement of the gear lever to the left (deselecting automatic mode using the lever).
–Movement of gear lever towards “+” (except when changing from R to 1 or N to “X”).
–Movement of the gear lever towards “-” (except when changing from N to “X” or when reverse gear is
engaged).
Buzzer operation:
The buzzer operates in the following cases:
–Safety risk: the buzzer sounds when one of the front doors is opened, if the following conditions are met:
–the engine is running,
–a gear is engaged,
–the driver is not applying the brakes.
–The buzzer will cut out if one of the following conditions is confirmed:
–the engine is not running,
–the driver applies the brakes,
–the driver closes the door(s).
–Driver warning when push-starting vehicle:
–The buzzer will sound to inform the driver that moving the lever to select a gear will enable the engine to
start. The buzzer will sound when the vehicle has reached the speed that will allow the engine to start.
–When the computer detects that the clutch is overheating.
