System Operation
OPERATION
Operation of the transmission is controlled by the TCM (transmission control module), which electrically activates various solenoids to control the transmission gear selection. The sequence of solenoid activation is based on programmed information in the TCM memory and physical transmission operating conditions such as vehicle speed, throttle position, engine load and rotary TCS (transmission control switch) position.
Engine torque is transferred, via operation of single or combinations of clutches to the planetary gear trains. The gear trains are controlled by reactionary inputs from brake clutches to produce the 6 forward gears and 1 reverse gear.
The shift elements (clutches and brakes) are actuated hydraulically. Fluid pressure is applied to the required clutch and/or brake, pressing the plates together and allowing drive to be transmitted through the plates. The purpose of the shift elements is to perform power-on shifts with no interruption to traction and smooth transition between gear ratios.
Component Description
DESCRIPTION
The transmission comprises the main casing which houses all of the transmission components. The torque converter is located in a separate converter housing.

Electric parking brake (EPD)
The parking brake operates on
the rear
wheels. Therefore, secure parking of
the vehicle is dependent on being on a
hard and stable surface.
Do not rely on the parking brake to
operate effectively, if the rear wheels
have been immersed in mud or water.
