LINE PRESSURE CONTROL : System Description

- When input torque signal corresponding to engine and motor driving force is transmitted from HPCM to
TCM, TCM controls line pressure solenoid valve.
This line pressure solenoid controls the pressure regulator valve as the signal pressure and adjusts the pressure of the operating oil discharged from the mechanical oil pump to the line pressure most appropriate to the driving state.
- The TCM has stored in memory a number of patterns for the optimum line pressure characteristic for the driving state.
- In order to obtain the most appropriate line pressure characteristic to meet the current driving state, the TCM
controls the line pressure solenoid current value and thus controls the line pressure.

Normal Control






Each clutch is adjusted to the necessary pressure to match the engine and motor drive force.
It judges the vehicle drive mode based on the driving mode signal transmitted by HPCM and adjusts the line pressure to give the most appropriate value.

During Shift Change






The necessary and adequate line pressure for shift change is set.
For this reason, line pressure pattern setting corresponds to engine torque and gearshift selection.

At Low Fluid Temperature






When the A/T fluid temperature drops below the prescribed temperature, in order to speed up the action of each friction element, the line pressure is set higher than the normal line pressure characteristic.
