Functional Diagram
The PCM receives input signals from the sensors, switches, and other control units, processes data, and outputs signals for the engine control system and the A/T control system. The A/T control system includes shift control, clutch pressure control, lock-up control, and A/T system hydraulic control. The PCM switches the shift solenoid valves and the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valves ON and OFF in a specific sequence to control gear selection and torque converter clutch lock-up. It also controls the appropriate operating hydraulic pressure to the automatic transmission.
