SHIFT SOLENOID E OUTLINE [SJ6A-EL]

EHU051321101102

•

Shift solenoid E is directly equipped to the control valve body component.

•

Shift solenoid E turns on and off according to the control signals from the TCM, and switches the C4 clutch and 
the B1 brake.

EHU051321101103

•

Performs linear adjustment of the throttle pressure based on the control signals from the TCM, and controls the 
pressure which is applied to the clutches and brakes to adjust the line pressure and to reduce shift shock.

•

By performing linear adjustment of the C3 clutch pressure and the B2 brake pressure based on the control 
signals from the TCM, the pressure which is applied to the C3 clutch and the B2 brake is directly controlled 
during shift changes from 5th to 6th gears.

SHIFT CONTROL OUTLINE [SJ6A-EL]

EHU051318901106

•

Based on the shift diagram, shift solenoids A, B, C, D, E, F, and G are controlled according to the vehicle speed 
and the throttle opening angle, and the shift control of the transmission is performed. 

•

When certain conditions are met, the TCM selects a shift mode suitable to the driving conditions and 
automatically switches to the mode to perform smooth shifting.

Active Adaptive Shift (AAS) Mode

•

When certain conditions are met, AAS mode is automatically selected from normal mode. In AAS mode, the 
shift point is set higher than the normal shift point so that high-engine speed, high-output conditions are 
available.

•

AAS mode is canceled when the vehicle speed remains constant (stable vehicle behavior).

Conditions for switching to active adaptive shift (AAS) mode

•

The accelerator pedal is depressed fully to accelerate rapidly while driving in D range.

•

Rapid acceleration or deceleration continues for a certain period of time while driving in D range.
