Shift Control
The PCM determines which gear should be selected by various signals sent from sensors, and actuates the shift control
solenoid valves A and B to control shifting. Also, a Grade Logic Control System has been adopted to control shifting in
[Q;]
and
[Q!J
('97 - 98), and
[ID
('99 - 00) position while the vehicle is ascending or descending a slope, or reducing speed.

Lock-up Control
From sensor input signals, the PCM determines whether to turn the lock-up ON or OFF, and activates lock-up control
solenoid valve A
andlor
B accordingly. Lock-up does not occur until the engine is warm. The combination of driving sig·
nals to lock·up control solenoid valves A and B and the linear solenoid pressure is shown in the table below.
