AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SYSTEM FAIL-SAFE CHART


  1. Description

    This function minimizes the loss of the ECT functions when a malfunction occurs in each sensor or solenoid.

  2. Fail-safe


    1. Fail-safe control list:

      Malfunctioning Part Function
      Speed sensor NT

      • Prohibits shifting to 2nd and 8th.

      • Lock up clutch control is prohibited.

      • AI-SHIFT* control is prohibited.

      • Neutral control is prohibited.
      Speed sensor NC3

      • Lock up clutch control is prohibited.

      • AI-SHIFT* control is prohibited.

      • Neutral control is prohibited.
      Speed sensor SP2

      • Prohibits shifting to 2nd and 8th.

      • Lock up clutch control is prohibited.

      • AI-SHIFT* control is prohibited.

      • Neutral control is prohibited.
      Shift solenoid valve SL1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and SR If the TCM detects a solenoid valve malfunction, it operates the fail-safe control.
      Transmission fluid temperature sensor

      • Shifting between the 1st to 5th gear allowed.

      • Lock up clutch control is prohibited.

      • AI-SHIFT* control is prohibited.

      • Neutral control is prohibited.
      Oil pressure switch Performs same control when there is a shift solenoid valve SL1 ON malfunction.
      TCM power supply (voltage is low)

      • When driving in 1st to 7th, fixes in 7th.

      • When driving in 8th, fixes in 8th.
      Knock sensor

      • When driving in 1st to 5th, up-shift to 6th or above is prohibited.

      • When driving in 6th or above, from the time the malfunction is detected, up-shift to higher gear is prohibited.

      • Lock up clutch control is prohibited.

      • Neutral control is prohibited.
      CAN communication

      • Shifting to only either the 1st or 3rd gear allowed.

      • Lock up clutch control is prohibited.

      • Neutral control is prohibited.

      Tech Tips

      *: In addition to the switching of the shift pattern through the pattern select switch, Artificial Intelligence Shift (AI-SHIFT) control enables the TCM to estimate the road conditions and the driver's intention in order to automatically select the optimal shift pattern.

      Tech Tips


      • *1: Canceled at first vehicle stop.

      • *2: Not canceled at next vehicle stop.

      • *3: Fail-safe operation is canceled when each trip is started.

      • *4: Not canceled, as vehicle stop was detected at previous trip.

      • *5: For the shift solenoid valve SL1 OFF malfunction, the 3rd trip is started with the fail-safe ON.

      • Fail-safe operation is performed when the TCM detects a malfunction.

      Tech Tips


      • *1: When vehicle is driven after fail-safe detection.

      • *2: After trip is started in malfunctioning state.

      • In case of an open or short circuit, the TCM stops sending the current to the open or short circuited solenoid.
