2-1 RESTRICTIONS ON GEARSHIFTS
2-1-1 DESCRIPTION
1.The transmission control computer determines the optimum gear position and lockup ON/OFF accord-
ing to the driving condition based on the signals from each sensor and drives each solenoid valve so
as to perform gear shifting and lockup control.
2.The gear shifting pattern for each shift range and mode is as follows.

O/D OFF 1#2#[3]"(4)

;The brackets [ ] indicates that the lockup operation is possible. However, no operation takes place with the transmission fluid
temperature is low.
; The parentheses ( ) indicates the low gear inhibitor control during a high-speed running.
2-1-2 DETERMINATION OF GEAR POSITION AND LOCKUP ON/OFF
(1) Automatic gear shifting mode
1.When the shift lever is at the D, L or F range, the transmission control computer judges that the mode
is the automatic shifting mode and determines the gear position and lock up ON/OFF according to the
vehicle speed and throttle opening degree signal, based on the selected gear shift diagram.
2.
(2) Control of prohibition of low speed gear during high speed running
If a request of downshift is received due to the change in the shift range when running at a high speed,
the current gear position is retained until the vehicle speed reaches below the set vehicle speed in order
to prevent the engine from rotating at an excessively high speed.
(3) Rereverse inhibitor control
In order to avoid danger if the shifting is mistakenly made to I range while running forward, the gear posi-
tion is kept in the neutral position until the speed becomes below the set vehicle speed.
(4) Restrictions on gear shifting during low temperature
When the transmission oil temperature is still low immediately after the vehicle starts running at the time
when the temperature is very low, the following restriction is provided for the gear shifting.
Restrictions on gear shifting during low temperature

Below (10 Shift to 3rd is prohibited.
Below 10 Shift to 4th is prohibited.

2-1-3 RESTRICTIONS ON GEARSHIFTS

Based on the current gear shift range and the target gear shift range that has been determined, the trans-
mission control computer controls each solenoid valve of such solenoids as the solenoid No.1, solenoid
No.2, solenoid No.3, duty solenoid, LUC solenoid and switch solenoid.
The operating condition of each solenoid valve at each gearshift range is as follows.

2-4 ELECTRONIC LINE PRESSURE CONTROL
1.For improved fuel consumption, the load of the oil pump is reduced by regulating the line pressure at
the time of the 3rd, 4th and reverse gears (after completion of gear shifting) and when the vehicle
stops with the shift lever placed in the D range.
2.At the time of the 3rd, 4th and reverse gears (after completion of gear shifting), the line pressure is reg-
ulated according to the turbine torque. Moreover, the line pressure is regulated by the solenoid No. 3.
3.When the vehicle is parked with the shift lever placed in the D range, the line pressure drops.
Moreover, the drop in the line pressure will be achieved by turning ON the duty solenoid (duty ratio
100%) and turning OFF the switch solenoid.
2-5 TORQUE REDUCTION CONTROL
In order to reduce the fluctuation of the output shaft torque Retard
Ignition timing
during gearshifts and reduce gear shifting shocks, the engine
output torque is temporarily reduced by retarding the engine
ignition timing during the gear shifting transient period, thus
allowing the gearshift control elements (clutches and brakes) Time
(driving force)

engine control computer.
Time
When starting off, if the shift lever is switched from G range to D (L, F) range with the accelerator fully
closed and brake applied, a gearshift to the 2nd gear (N!2nd!1st) is temporarily made, thus avoiding
sudden torque change and preventing the vehicle body from moving downward.

2-9 DIAGNOSIS (ONBOARD DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION)
2-9-1 DESCRIPTION
This trouble diagnosis function informs the inspector of abnormality items by means of a computer if
abnormality occurs in the input/output sections of the system. The diagnosis items have 25 items, includ-
ing six solenoid checking items that are done during the normal state. If abnormality takes place, the
computer memorizes abnormality items. This memorizing is done directly by the battery power.
Therefore, even if the IG switch is set to the ACC or LOCK position, the diagnosis result remains memo-
rized. If abnormality takes place in the important items during running, a warning function will inform the
driver of the abnormality.
CAUTION
• Certain items only are not memorized.
F5–11
2-10 FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION
This is the function which performs controlling to keep the best possible running ability even if abnormal-
ity takes place in the input/output signal system of the transmission control computer.
When the system has resumed the normal state after detecting abnormality once, the failsafe function is
released, but the diagnosis result remains. (except certain codes)
The warning lamp (O/D OFF lamp) is made to flash while the failsafe function is operating. (except cer-
tain functions)
