Shift Control
The PCM instantly determines which gears should be selected by various signals sent from sensors and
switches, and it actuates shift solenoid valves A, B, C, D, and E to control shifting transmission gears.
Also, a grade logic control system has been adopted to control shifting in the D position. The PCM compares
actual driving conditions with memorized driving conditions, based on the input from the accelerator pedal
position sensor, the engine coolant temperature sensor, the barometric pressure sensor, the brake pedal position
switch signal, and the shift lever position signal, to control shifting while the vehicle is ascending or descending
a slope.

Shift Solenoid Valve ON-OFF Operation
The PCM turns shift solenoid valves A, B, C, D, and E ON and OFF to control transmission gear shifting. The
combination of driving signals to shift solenoid valves A, B, C, D, and E are shown in the table.

Grade Logic Control: Ascending Control
When the PCM determines that the vehicle is climbing a hill in the D position, the system extends the
engagement area of 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gears to prevent the transmission from frequently shifting between 2nd
and 3rd gears, between 3rd and 4th gears, and between 4th and 5th gears, so the vehicle can run smooth and
have more power when needed.
Shift schedules stored in the PCM between 2nd and 3rd gears, between 3rd and 4th gears, and between 4th and
5th gears, enable it to automatically select the most suitable gear according to the magnitude of a gradient.

Grade Logic Control: Descending Control
When the PCM determines that the vehicle is going down a hill in the D position, the shift-up speed from 4th to
5th gear, from 3rd to 4th gear, and from 2nd to 3rd gear (when the throttle is closed) becomes faster than the set
speed for flat road driving to widen the 4th gear, 3rd gear, and 2nd gear driving area. This, in combination with
engine braking from the deceleration lock-up, achieves smooth driving when the vehicle is descending. There
are three descending modes with different 4th gear driving areas, 3rd gear driving areas, and 2nd gear driving
areas according to the magnitude of a gradient stored in the PCM. When the vehicle is in 5th gear or 4th gear,
and you are decelerating when you are applying the brakes on a steep hill, the transmission will downshift to
lower gear. When you accelerate, the transmission will then return to a higher gear.

Clutch Pressure Control
The PCM actuates A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valves A, B, and C to control the clutch pressure. When
shifting between lower and higher gears, the clutch pressure regulated by A/T clutch pressure control solenoid
valves A, B, and C engages and disengages the clutch smoothly.
