5A2 – 218IAISIN AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE
DAEWOO V–121 BL4
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
AND SYSTEM OPERATION
TRANSAXLE DESCRIPTION
The new automatic transmission is an electronically con-
trolled 4–speed automatic transmission with Lock–up
mechanism.
The transmission is mainly composed of the torque con-
verter with lock up clutch, newly developed 4–speed plan-
etary gear unit, the hydraulic control system and the elec-
tric control system.
ELECTRONICAL COMPONENTS
Transmission Control Module (TCM)
The TCM primarily controls shift points and lockup en-
gagement. It is located on the driver side under the instru-
ment panel.
The transmission is controlled by an electronic shift sys-
tem. The Transmission Control Module (TCM) processes
input signals. From the information received, the TCM
controls the transmission hydraulic system.
The electronic shift system consists of the following :
S Transmission control module (TCM)
S Shift solenoids (SS1 and SS2)
S Pressure control solenoid (PCS)
S Lockup solenoid
S Input shaft speed (ISS) sensor
S Output shaft speed (OSS) sensor
S Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) sensor
S Transmission Range (TR) Switch
Transmission Range (TR) Switch
Transmission Range (TR) Switch transmits the informa-
tion which range includes shift lever of A/T to Starter and
TCM.
S It is possible for TR switch to start an engine in only
”P” and ”N”. (Prevention of reckless driving)
S TR switch makes backup lamp turn on when re-
versing.
S It is used for TR switch to shift control.
TR switch transmits the information by combination of
starter and reverse circuit to vehicle side directly without
TCM.
Shift Solenoid No 1,2 (SS1, SS2)
2 shift solenoids are installed directly in the valve body.
The solenoids operate of ON and OFF by the control sig-
nal from TCM. Combinations of 2 solenoids, SS1 and SS2
changes gear ranges.
