1) Advantages

When heavy braking is detected, the transaxle downshifts early and skips gears to provide increased

engine braking to provide gear selection for tip-in.

If the accelerator pedal is released when traveling uphill, upshifts are prevented to reduce busyness on

grades. If the accelerator pedal is released when traveling downhill, upshifts are prevented to enhance

engine braking.

Drive and Reverse Engagement

A soft engagement feature avoids harsh take up of drive when selecting Drive or Reverse. This is

achieved by limiting engine speed and engine torque which results in a rapid, but progressive

engagement of either Drive or Reverse when moving from the Park or Neutral positions. Drive and

Reverse engagements from either Park or Neutral are performed in less than 2.2 seconds. There is no

drive engagement prevention strategy implemented on the transaxle system as there is sufficient engine

strategy to protect the system. However, reverse engagement is prevented until engine speed is less

than 1,400 rpm and the accelerator pedal position is less than 12% and vehicle speed is less than 10

The transaxle features converter clutch lock-up in all gears. This feature provides improved fuel economy

and vehicle performance. It also improves transaxle cooling efficiency when towing heavy loads at low

speeds, e.g. in city driving or hill terrain.

Embedded Memory Module (EMM)

The embedded memory module (EMM) is

matched to the transaxle's valve bodies during

transaxle assembly to ensure refined shift quality.

The EMM is used to store data such as valve body

calibration data and valve body serial number.

Upon installation, the TCU will download the data

from the EMM and utilize this data in the operation

of the transaxle.
