General information

On cars considered in the real Management automatic transmission (AT) of U140E (the front-wheel models delivered on the American market) or U140F (all-wheel drive models) is established. AT U140F below is considered.

AT U140F design


C1 — the advance Coupling C2 — the Coupling of direct transfer C3 — the Coupling of lowering transfer B1 — the Brake of the 2nd transfer	B2 — the Brake of the 1st transfer and a backing B3 — the Brake of lowering transfer F1 — the Unilateral coupling No. 1 F2 — the Unilateral coupling of lowering transfer

The components involved in work of AT

At the moment of a troganiye from a place of AT acts as ordinary coupling, and during movement performs work on gear shifting.

The AT main hubs are: torque converter (hydrotransformer), planetary reducer and hydraulic or electronic control unit. Hydrodriving disk brakes and disk coupling are applied to transition to other transfer relation in a planetary reducer.

The torque converter on the functions corresponds to hydraulic coupling. Its task includes coupling implementation at a troganiye from a place and gear shifting.

The control system of transmission is a component of a control system of the engine and on the basis of the analysis of the data arriving from various information sensors (not necessarily directly related to functioning actually transmissions), chooses optimum from the point of view of profitability, smoothness of switchings and so forth a mode of functioning of AT. At failure detection in memory of the control unit the corresponding code (registers see. Specifications to the Head of System of electric equipment of the engine).

Components of a control system of transmission


1 — the Sensor of speed of a secondary gear wheel 2 — Ø/m the switching SLT valve 3 — Ø/m the switching SL1 valve 4 — Ø/m the switching DSL valve 5 — Ø/m the switching SL2 valve 6 — the Sensor of entrance turns of the turbine 7 — the Sensor of temperature of ATF	8 — Д/В the P/N modes 9 — Ø/m the switching S4 valve 10 — To/l malfunctions (MIL) 11 — the DLC No. 3 Socket 12 — Д/В stoplights 13 — the Main switch of the O/D mode 14 — the Switch of modes 15 — ECM

The unique procedure of service of AT which performance should be made on a regular basis, check of level of its working liquid (ATF) which order of performance is stated in Head of Control and routine maintenance of the car is. Need for regular replacement of ATF is absent.

Near a radiator of system of cooling of the engine ATF cooler is established.

Operating modes of transmission are described in Head Governing bodies and operation receptions.

Thanks to application Д/В of the P/N modes start of the engine can be carried out only when the lever of the AT selector is in the situation "R" or "N" that allows to prevent casual movement of the car in start attempt.

In the present chapter the general procedures of service AT lying within qualification of the average amateur mechanic are considered only most.
