Kia Optima: Automatic Transaxle System / Automatic Transaxle Control System
Description and operation
| Description |
Automatic transaxle control system relies on various measurements to determine the current control status and determine the necessary compensation values. These values are used to control the actuators and achieve the desired control output.
Operation
*T/CON_VFS : Torque converter control solenoid valve
*35R/C_VFS : 35R clutch control solenoid valve
*26/B_VFS : 26 Brake control solenoid valve
*UD/B_VFS : Underdrive brake control solenoid valve
*OD/C_VFS : Overdrive clutch control solenoid valve
*LINE_VFS : Line pressure control solenoid valve
*SS-A_ON/OFF : Shift control solenoid valve-A
Repair procedures
| Adjustment |
TCM adaptive values learning
| • |
TCM adaptive values learning : When shift shock has occurred or parts related with the transaxle has been replaced, TCM learning should be performed. |
| • |
In the following case, TCM learning is required. |
| – |
Automatic transaxle assembly replacement |
| – |
TCM upgrade or replacement |
| – |
Solenoid valve replacement |
TCM adaptive values learning procedure
| • |
Static relearn (condition : ATF temperature 40 - 100°C (104 - 212°F) |
| 1) |
Step on the brake, and then pause for 3 seconds each on "N" range and "D" range. |
| 2) |
Repeat the above procedure four times.
|
| • |
Driving relearn |
| 1) |
Drive the vehicle through all the gears (1st → 2nd → 3rd → 4th → 5th → 6th).
|
| 2) |
Decelerate the vehicle by stepping on the brake (6th → 5th → 4th → 3rd → 2nd → 1st). |
| 3) |
Repeat the above procedure four times. |
