MANUAL MODE SHIFT CONTROL OPERATION [AW6A-EL, AW6AX-EL]

Manual Mode Shift
• When the selector lever is shifted over from the D to M range position, the M range switch in the selector lever
component turns on, sending a manual mode command signal to the TCM which activates the manual mode
shift control.
• When in manual mode and the selector lever is operated in the back (+) direction, the up switch in the selector
lever component is turned on and an up-shift command signal is input to the TCM.
— The TCM, triggered by the up-shift command signal, carries out shifting by outputting an operation signal to
the shift control solenoid.
• Conversely, when the selector lever is operated in the forward (–) direction, the down switch in the selector lever
component turns on, and a down-shift command signal is input to the TCM.
— The TCM, triggered by the down-shift command signal, carries out shifting by outputting an operation signal
to the shift control solenoid if the vehicle speed is less than the set speed and the gear position is 2GR or
above.
• The TCM utilizes a specialized M range automatic shift diagram. Due to this, restriction of manual shift demand
and automatic control of downshifting or upshifting is carried out, reducing load on the ATX, preventing engine
over-rev and ensuring drive stability.
• If the engine speed reaches the excessive speed fuel cut zone while the shift lever is in the M range, the fuel
cut and supply occur repeatedly. Moreover, if the engine speed is not lowered, the engine speed is lowered by
a forced shift up of the gear to protect the engine.

Shift control
• To reduce load on the ATX, upshifting is
inhibited until vehicle reaches speed possible
for upshifting
• To prevent engine over-rev, downshifting is
inhibited until vehicle reaches speed possible
for downshifting
• To assure drive stability, automatically
downshifts from 6GR to 5GR
• To assure drive stability, automatically
downshifts from 5GR to 4GR
• To assure drive stability, automatically
downshifts from 4GR to 3GR
• To assure drive stability, automatically
downshifts from 3GR to 1GR
• To assure drive stability, automatically
downshifts from 2GR to 1GR
• To improve acceleration performance, 5GR
