INTRODUCTION

• Current electronic automatic transmissions are able


to provide diagnostic information as well as
accurately control:
– Shift timing and quality
– Mainline pressure
– Application and release of apply devices
– Apply-device pressures
– Clutch-apply fluid volume
– Application and release of the torque converter clutch
– Ignition timing during shifts

FIGURE 8-2 When the transmission control module (TCM) is ready to


begin an upshift, it signals the power train control module (PCM) to
reduce engine torque. This produces a smoother shift with less wear in
the transmission.

BASIC ELECTRONICS

• Solid-state electronics is the basis of automotive


computers and control modules.
– These devices are constructed from diodes, transistors,
capacitors, resistors, integrated circuits, and microchips.
• Solid-state devices, for all practical purposes, do not
wear out because there are no moving parts.
• A major difference between electrical and electronic
circuits is the quantity of electrical flow.
– The current flow in electronic circuits is very small, thus
the voltage requirement is low and circuit resistance must
be kept to a minimum.

BASIC ELECTRONICS

• Sensors
– The various sensor types (organized by the type of
electrical signal) are as follows:
• Frequency generators (creates an ac signal with a frequency relative to
speed)
• Voltage generator (creates a voltage signal that is relative to speed)
• Potentiometer or variable resistor (alters the voltage or resistance)
• Switches (an on–off signal)
• Serial data (an on–off signal coming from another control module)
• Thermistor (changes resistance relative to temperature)
• Transducer (changes resistance relative to pressure)

SUMMARY

4. The hydraulic operation of the transmission is


controlled by solenoids that are switched to
redirect pressurized fluid to move shift valves or
