Input/Output Signal Of TCM
TCM INPUT/OUTPUT SIGNAL
| Sensors and solenoid valves | Function | |
|---|---|---|
| Input | Park/neutral position (PNP) switch | Detects select lever position and sends a signal to TCM. |
| Throttle position sensor [accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor] | Detects accelerator pedal position and requested throttle opening and sends a signal to TCM. | |
| Engine speed signal | Receives signal from ECM and controls lock-up control solenoid valve. | |
| A/T fluid temperature sensor | Detects transmission fluid temperature and sends a signal to TCM. | |
| Revolution sensor | Detects output shaft rpm and sends a signal to TCM. | |
| Vehicle speed sensor | Used as an auxiliary vehicle speed sensor. Sends a signal which is used if revolution sensor (installed on transmission) malfunctions. | |
| Overdrive control switch | Sends a signal to the TCM which prohibits a shift to D4 (overdrive) position. | |
| ASCD control unit | Sends the cruise signal and D4 (overdrive) cancellation signal from ASCD control unit to TCM. | |
| Stop lamp switch | Send the lock-up release signal to the TCM at time of D4 (lock-up). | |
| CAN communication | Control units are connected to two communication lines (CAN H and CAN L) allowing a high rate of information transmission. | |
| Output | Shift solenoid valve A/B | Selects shifting point suited to driving conditions in relation to a signal sent from TCM. |
| Line pressure solenoid valve | Regulates line pressure suited to driving conditions in relation to a signal sent from TCM. | |
| Torque converter clutch solenoid valve | Regulates lock-up pressure suited to driving conditions in relation to a signal sent from TCM. | |
| Overrun clutch solenoid valve | Controls an "engine brake" effect suited to driving conditions in relation to a signal sent from TCM. | |
| O/D OFF indicator lamp | Shows TCM faults, when A/T control components malfunction. | |
| CAN communication | Control units are connected to two communication lines (CAN H and CAN L) allowing a high rate of information transmission. |
