2) Cooling System
The transmission cooling system ensures rapid warm-up and constant operating temperature
resulting in reduced fuel consumption and refined shift quality.
It also includes a cooler by-pass within the hydraulic system to allow sufficient cooling and
lubrication to the transmission drivetrain in the event of a blockage in the transmission cooler.
Gear Shift ▶
Coastdown ▶
Torque Demand ▶ Transmission gear change is controlled by the TCU. The TCU receives inputs from various engine
and vehicle sensors to select shift schedules and to control the shift feel and torque converter
clutch (TCC) operation at each gear change
Coastdown downshifts occur at 0% accelerator pedal when the vehicle is coasting down to a
stop. To reduce the shift shock and to improve the shift feeling during downshift, TCU
electronically controls the transmission.
Torque demand downshifts occur (automatically) when the driver demand for torque is greater
than the engine can provide at that gear ratio. If applied, the transmission will disengage the TCC
to provide added acceleration.
3) Shift Strategy

01-22
Winter Mode (W) ▶
Low Range Driving Mode ▶
Warm Up Mode ▶ When the Winter mode is selected, the second gear is engaged to start off the vehicle easily to
prevent wheel spin on slippery surfaces and WINTER mode indicator comes ON. The first gear is
not available in this mode.
When the vehicle is in 4L driving mode, the transmission uses a different shift mode to optimize
the low range driving. Similar to Winter mode, the first gear is not available.
This mode is normally used when the transmission oil temperature is below 20°C.

6. A/C COOLING CYCLE
1) System Flow
"Compression -> Condensation -> Expansion -> Evaporation" -
2) Functions
(1) Compressor
Condition: Gas
Function: Circulates the refrigerant and increases the pressure and temperature for easier
evaporation. -
-
(2) Condenser
Condition: Gas/Liquid
Function: Cools and condenses the refrigerant by using ambient air to liquefy it under high
pressure. -
-
(3) Receiver drier
Condition: Gas/Liquid
Function: Keeps the refrigerant free from moisture by separating/collecting the moisture from it. -
-
(4) Expansion valve
Condition: Liquid/Liquefied gas
Function: Performs adiabatic expansion and flow control for easier evaporation. -
-
(5) Evaporator
Condition: Liquefied gas/Gas
Function: Cools the air by absorbing the heat from the air around the evaporator. -

3) Description for Each Cycle
(1) Compression
The evaporated refrigerant in the evaporator enters to the compressor. And the refrigerant gas
is compressed until it can be liquefied at ambient temperature.
Thus, the low refrigerant pressure is maintained so that the liquid refrigerant can be evaporated
actively at low temperature (around 0 ℃). -
-
(2) Condensation
The high pressure and high temperature gas (refrigerant) from the compressor is cooled down
by the fresh air entered into the condenser. Then, this gas is converted to liquid and collected
in the receiver drier.
The heat generated from the high pressure refrigerant is dissipated to the ambient air, and it is
called "heat of condensation".
The heat of condensation is the summation of the heat of vaporization (heat that the refrigerant
absorbs from the inside of the vehicle) and the calorific value converted from the amount of
work which is needed to compress. -
-
(3) Expansion
The liquid refrigerant lowers the pressure making its evaporation easily accomplished.
This process (lowering the pressure to the level at which evaporation easily takes place before
the liquid refrigerant is sent to the evaporator) is called
"Adiabatic Expansion".
During adiabatic expansion, the expansion valve lowers the pressure of the refrigerant and
determines the correct amount of refrigerant going into the air conditioning evaporator.
That is, the amount of heat, which is needed to stop the evaporation, is determined according
to the cooling load.
The expansion valve detects this and regulates the amount of the refrigerant exactly. -
-
(4) Evaporator
The refrigerant is converted from liquid to gas in the evaporator.
(The refrigerant in the form of fog in the evaporator is vaporized actively)
At this time the refrigerant, in the form of liquid, absorbs the heat in the air which is need for
evaporation (latent heat) and is cooled down. Then the blower blows the cooled air inside the
vehicle to lower the temperature.
There are liquid refrigerant from the expansion valve and evaporated refrigerant in the
evaporator.
The evaporation temperature can be predicted from the evaporation pressure (i.e. relationship
between saturation pressure and saturation temperature).
It is important to keep the pressure inside the evaporator low, so that the refrigerant is
evaporated at low temperature to make sure the completely evaporated refrigerant is entered
into the compressor. -
