Automatic Transmission
ELECTROHYDRAULIC CONTROL SYSTEM
AT-8
2. VTD MODELS
The electrohydraulic control system for the transmission and transfer consists of various sensors
and switches, a transmission control module (TCM) and the hydraulic controlling units including
solenoid valves. The system controls the automatic transmission operation, including gear shift-
ing, lock-up clutch operation, line pressure, automatic control pattern selection (“Base” and “Pow-
er”), and gear-shift timing. It also controls operation of the transfer multi-plate clutch (LSD). The
TCM determines vehicle operating conditions from various input signals and controls a total of
eight solenoids (shift solenoids 1 and 2, low clutch timing solenoid, 2-4 brake timing solenoid, line
pressure duty solenoid, lock-up duty solenoid, transfer duty solenoid, and 2-4 brake duty solenoid)
by sending appropriate signals to them.
