Input/Output Signal Of TCM

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
INPUT/OUTPUT SIGNAL OF TCM

  Sensors and solenoid valves Function
Input Park/neutral position (PNP) switch Detects select lever position and sends a signal to TCM.
Accelerator pedal position (APP) signal Detects throttle valve position and sends a signal to TCM. (CAN communication)
Engine speed signal Receives signal from ECM and controls lock-up control solenoid valve.
A/T fluid temperature sensor Detects transaxle 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 when revolution sensor (installed on transaxle) malfunctions.
3 position switch Sends a signal, which prohibits a shift to D4 (overdrive) position, to the TCM.
ASCD control signal 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 In CAN communication, control units are connected to 2 communication lines (CAN H line, CAN L line) allowing a high rate of information transaxle with less wiring.
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 (or decreases) line pressure suited to driving conditions in relation to a signal sent from TCM.
Torque converter clutch solenoid valve Regulates (or decreases) 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.
A/T check (position) indicator lamp Shows TCM faults, when A/T control components malfunction.
CAN communication In CAN communication, control units are connected to 2 communication lines (CAN H line, CAN L line) allowing a high rate of information transaxle with less wiring.
