A/T Description

This automatic transaxle is a full automatic type with 4-speed.

The torque converter is a 3-element, 1-step and 2-phase type and is equipped with an electronically controlled lock-up mechanism. The gear shift device consists of 3 sets of planetary gear units, 3 disc type clutches, 3 disc type brakes, a band type brake and 3 one-way clutches. The gear shift is done by selecting one of 7 positions ("P", "R", "N", "D", "3", "2" and "L") by means of the select lever installed on the floor.

COMPONENT OPERATION TABLE

A/T Diagnosis General Description

This vehicle is equipped with an electronic transaxle control system, which controls the automatic shift up and shift down timing, TCC operation, etc. suitably to vehicle driving conditions.

TCM has an On-Board Diagnosis System which detects a malfunction in this system and abnormality of those parts that influence the engine exhaust emission.

When diagnosing a trouble in transaxle including this system, be sure to have full understanding of the outline of ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM DESCRIPTION and each item in PRECAUTIONS IN DIAGNOSING TROUBLE and execute diagnosis according to A/T SYSTEM CHECK to obtain correct result smoothly.

On-Board Diagnostic System Description

For automatic transaxle control system, TCM has following functions.

Scheme 4

Scheme 4: On-Board Diagnostic System Description
  1. When the ignition switch is turned ON with the engine at a stop, MIL (1) turns ON to check the MIL and its circuit.
  2. When TCM detects a malfunction in A/T control system (and/or a malfunction which gives an adverse effect to vehicle emission) while the engine is running, TCM requires ECM to make the malfunction indicator lamp in the meter cluster of the instrument panel turn ON. TCM stores the malfunction area (DTC according to SAE J2012) in TCM memory. (If it detects that continuously 3 driving cycles are normal after detecting a malfunction, however, it makes MIL turn OFF although DTC stored in its memory will remain.)
  3. It is possible to communicate through DLC (3) by using not only SUZUKI scan tool (2) but also CAN communication OBD generic scan tool which are in compliance with SAE J1978. (Diagnostic information can be accessed by using a scan tool.)
  4. For information about the following items, refer to «ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM DESCRIPTION»(ref-268912-S09833748282007102700000) . Warm-up cycle Driving cycle 2 driving cycle detection logic Pending DTC Freeze frame date

CAN Communication System Description

Refer to CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM DESCRIPTION . TCM communicates control data with each control module as follows.
