5A-64 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
Default Transmission Operating Modes
The TCU relies on accurate information from its inputs and complete control of its outputs to effectively control the
transmission. To ensure that it has both valid inputs and functioning outputs, the TCU carries out both hardware and
software fault detection routines. The TCU will respond to any faults detected by adopting the operating modes which
are detailed below.
The following symptoms of faults are the most obvious results of each fault under ‘normal’ conditions.
There is always the possibility that a fault may not be detected. If undetected fault conditions are present, the
operation of the transmission is difficult to predict.
1 Throttle Fault
l
All shifts will occur as if a nominal throttle (approx. 44%) were applied for shift scheduling.
l
All shifts will be firm as full throttle and hence high engine torque is assumed.
l
The torque converter will be unlocked at all times.
l
All downshifts initiated by the shift lever will occur as though they were ‘automatic’ shifts. That is the engine
braking effect will not occur until near the end of the shift.
l
Line pressure will always stay high (solenoid 6 OFF) to cope with assumed high throttle/torque.
If a fault is undetected, the percent throttle is most likely to be interpreted as higher than actual, resulting in late
upshifts, early downshifts, firm shifting and a harsh 3-1 shift when stopping.
2 Throttle Not Learnt Fault
The transmission operates from default throttle calibration values which results in the evaluation of the throttle being
higher (more open) than it is. There(ore at zero throttle settings, the transmission may calculate that sufficient throttle
opening is present to justify high line pressure and switch solenoid 6 to OFF.
Other symptoms are:
a. late upshifts and
b. lock-up maintained at zero throttle when the vehicle speed is sufficiently high.
3 Engine Speed Fault
l
All shifts will be firm because an engine speed corresponding to peak engine torques is assumed.
If a fault is undetected, the engine speed is likely to be interpreted as stalled resulting in soft shifting possibly with an
end of shift bump.
4 Vehicle Speed Sensor Fault
l
All shifts will be controlled by the shift lever with skip downshifts disabled and downshifts only allowed if the
engine speed is low. Fourth gear will be inhibited.
l
The torque converter will be unlocked at all times.
If a fault is undetected, the vehicle is likely to be interpreted as being stationary resulting in first gear operation at all
times. Note that speedometer transducer faults are likely to cause the vehicle’s speedometer to become inoperative.
5 Gear Lever Fault (Inhibitor/PRNDL Switch)
l
The gear lever is assumed to be in the Drive position.
l
The transmission is limited to 2nd,3rd, and R gears only.
l
The rear band will apply at all times when the lever is shifted to P, R or N. (B2 inhibition and reverse lockout
protection is disabled.)
l
The torque converter will be unlocked at all times.
l
Manually (gear lever) initiated downshifts will not be available.
If a fault is undetected, the gear lever position is likely to be interpreted as being higher than actual. Where Park is the
highest position and Manual 1 is the lowest, the result being the availability of higher gears than selected by the gear
lever.
