5. ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM

1) Overview
The transmission control unit (TCU) and its input/output networks control the operations of
transmission:
- Shift timing
- Line pressure
- Clutch pressure (shift feel)
- Torque converter clutch
In addition, the TCU receives input signals from certain transmission-related sensors and
switches. The TCU also uses these signals when determining transmission operating strategy.
Using all of these input signals, the TCU can determine when the time and conditions are right for
a shift, or when to apply or release the torque converter clutch. It will also determine the pressure
needed to optimise shift feel. To accomplish this, the TCU operates six variable bleed control
solenoids and four ON/OFF solenoids to control the operations of transmission.

2) Transmission Control Unit (TCU)

The transmission control unit (TCU) is mounted under the driver's seat and controls the operation
of the transmission.
TCU processes the analog information from the internal sensors and the digital information
through CAN communication lines. TCU monitors all the input and output signals. If there is any
failure, TCU changes the system to "Limp Home Mode" and alerts to the driver through the
warning lamp on the instrument cluster.
