TCM Function

INFOID:0000000009885684

The function of the TCM is to:

• Receive input signals sent from various switches and sensors.

• Determine required line pressure, shifting point, lock-up operation, and engine brake operation.

• Send required output signals to the respective solenoids.

CONTROL SYSTEM OUTLINE

The automatic transmission senses vehicle operating conditions through various sensors or signals. It always

controls the optimum shift position and reduces shifting and lock-up shocks.

CAN Communication

INFOID:0000000009885685

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle mul-

tiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Many elec-

tronic control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with other

control units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control units are connected with 2

communication lines (CAN H line, CAN L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission with less wiring.

Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only. For details, refer to

LAN-46,

"CAN System Specification Chart"

Input/Output Signal of TCM

INFOID:0000000009885686

*1: Spare for output speed sensor.
*2: Spare for accelerator pedal position signal.
*3: If these input and output signals are different, the TCM triggers the fail-safe function.
*4: CAN communications.
*5: Used as a condition for starting self-diagnostics; If self-diagnostics are not started, it is judged that there is some kind of error.

Line Pressure Control

INFOID:0000000009885687

• When an input torque signal equivalent to the engine drive force is sent from the ECM to the TCM, the TCM

controls the line pressure solenoid.
