Transmission Control Systems: Description and Operation

SYSTEM OUTLINE

1. GEAR SHIFT OPERATION
When driving, the engine warm up condition is input as a signal to TERMINAL THW of the engine control module from the engine coolant temp. sensor and the vehicle speed signal from vehicle speed sensor is input to TERMINAL NT+ of the engine control module. At the same time, the throttle valve opening signal from the throttle position sensor is input to TERMINAL VTA of the engine control module as throttle angle signal. Based on these signals, the engine control module selects the best shift position for the driving conditions and sends current to the electronically controlled transmission solenoid.

2. E-SHIFT SYSTEM
When the shift lever is set to the M position, the shift range can be switched with the UP or DOWN switch on the steering. (This limits to the maximum gear step and enables automatic shift-up and shift-down within the allowable range.)
