Turbo Models

The TCM performs gear shifting control according to driving conditions by using the shift point characteristic data stored in its memory. Appropriate duty solenoids are operated at the proper timing corresponding to the shift pattern, throttle position, and vehicle speed for smooth shifting.

NOTE: When the ATF temperature is below approximately -10°C (-50°F), the gear cannot be shifted to 4th speed.
