6. ATF Filling Procedure

An ATF filling procedure is used in order to improve the accuracy of the ATF level when the transmission
is being repaired or replaced. As a result, the oil filler tube and the oil level gauge used in the conventional
automatic transmission have been discontinued, eliminating the need to inspect the fluid level as a part of
routine maintenance.
D This filling procedure uses a refill plug, an overflow plug, an ATF temperature sensor No. 2, and a D
indicator.

Centrifugal Fluid Pressure Canceling Mechanism

For the following reason, the centrifugal fluid pressure canceling mechanism is used on the C1, C2, C3, and
C4 clutches.
D Clutch shifting operation is affected not only by the valve body controlling fluid pressure but also by
centrifugal fluid pressure that is present due to fluid in the clutch piston oil pressure chamber. The
centrifugal fluid pressure canceling mechanism has chamber B to reduce the effect applied to the
chamber A. As a result, smooth shifting with excellent response has been achieved.

Construction and Operation of Main Components
1) ATF Temperature Sensors No. 1 and No. 2

D The ATF temperature sensor No. 1 (THO1) is used for hydraulic pressure control. This sensor is used
for revision of the pressure that is used to apply clutches and brakes in the transmission. This helps
to ensure smooth shift quality.
D The ATF temperature sensor No. 2 (THO2) is used as a basis for modifying the ECT shift timing
control when the ATF temperature is high. It is also used for the ATF temperature warning light.

2) Input Speed Sensor and Output Speed Sensor

The A760E and A760F automatic transmissions use an input speed sensor (for NT signal) and an output
speed sensor (for SP2 signal). Thus, the ECM can detect the timing of the shifting of the gears and
appropriately control the engine torque and hydraulic pressure in response to various conditions.
These speed sensors are the pick-up coil type.
D The input speed sensor detects the input speed of the transmission. The No. 3 clutch (C3) drum is used
as the timing rotor for this sensor.
D The output speed sensor detects the speed of the output shaft. The parking gear on the rear planetary
gear is used as the timing rotor for this sensor.

position and to inform the ECM. The ECM turns on the shift position indicator light and S mode
indicator light.
D The transmission control switch detects whether the shift lever is in D or S, detects the operating
conditions of the shift lever (“+” or “–”) if S mode is selected, and sends signals to the ECM. At this
time, the ECM turns on the shift range indicator for the selected range.

Clutch Pressure Control
1) Clutch to Clutch Pressure Control

This control is used for shifting from 5th to 6th gear and from 6th to 5th gear.
The ECM actuates shift solenoid valves SL1 and SL2 in accordance with various signals. The output
from these shift solenoid valves acts directly on control valves B2 and C3 in order to regulate the line
pressure that acts on the No. 2 brake (B2) and No. 3 clutch (C3). As a result, high response and excellent
shift characteristics have been achieved.

Line Pressure Optimal Control

Through the use of the shift solenoid valve SLT, the line pressure is optimally controlled in accordance with
the engine torque information, as well as with the internal operating conditions of the torque converter
clutch and the transmission.
Accordingly, the line pressure can be controlled minutely in accordance with the engine output, traveling
condition, and ATF temperature, thus achieving smooth shift characteristics and optimizing the workload
of the oil pump (reducing unnecessary parasitic losses).

Flex Lock-up Clutch Control

In the low-to-mid-speed range, the flex lock-up clutch control regulates the shift solenoid valve SLU to
provide an intermediate mode between the on and off operation of the lock-up clutch in order to improve
energy transmitting efficiency.
As a result, the operating range of the lock-up clutch has been increased and fuel economy has been
improved. The flex lock-up clutch control operates in the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th gears in D and S6 range, in
the 3rd, 4th and 5th gears in the S5 range, and in the 3rd and 4th gears in the S4 range.
D Even when the vehicle is decelerating (the accelerator pedal is released), the flex lock-up clutch control
operates. Therefore, the fuel cut area of the engine has been expanded and fuel economy has been
improved.

Coast Downshift Control

As a result of coast downshift control, downshifting is performed to maintain sufficient engine speed to
avoid ending fuel cut control. Thus, fuel cut time is extended and fuel economy is achieved.
D In this control, the transmission downshifts from 6th to 5th and then 5th to 4th before fuel cut control
ends when the vehicle is decelerated in the 6th gear, so that fuel cut control can continue to operate.

Tow/Haul Control (Models with Towing Package)
1) General
During tow/haul control, the ECM controls the engine output, transmission shift schedule and shift
timing to ensure driveability when a trailer is towed. The tow/haul control includes a throttle control,
a shift schedule control, a wide open throttle shift timing control and an AI-shift control.
D The tow/haul control operates when the TOW/HAUL pattern select switch is turned on.
D The TOW/HAUL indicator light is used to inform the driver that tow/haul control is operating.

2) Road Condition Support Control

Under road condition support control, the ECM identifies the throttle valve opening angle and the vehicle
speed to determine whether the vehicle is being driven uphill or downhill.
a. When a trailer is not being towed

D To achieve an optimal drive force while driving uphill, this control prevents the transmission from
upshifting to 4th, 5th or 6th gear.
D To achieve an optimal engine braking effect while driving downhill, this control automatically
downshifts the transmission to 5th, 4th or 3rd gear.

3) Driver’s Intention Support Control
a. When a trailer is not being towed

The driver’s intention support control estimates the driver’s intention based on the accelerator pedal
operation and vehicle condition, and selects a shift pattern that is well-suited to the driver.
b. When a trailer is being towed

While the vehicle is being driven with the shift lever in D, the driver’s intention support control ensures
driveability while towing a trailer by determining the driver’s intention based on the accelerator pedal
operation and vehicle condition, and performs the controls shown in the table below:

Multi-mode Automatic Transmission
1) General
Multi-mode automatic transmission is designed to allow the driver to switch the gear ranges (multi-mode
transmission is not for manually selecting single gears). After moving the shift lever to S, the driver can
select the desired shift range by moving the shift lever to “+” or “–”. Thus, the driver is able to shift gears
with a manual-like feel.

2) Operation
D The driver selects the S mode by engaging the shift lever. At this time, the S4 or S5 range is selected
in accordance with the vehicle speed. (When the driver selects the S mode during AI-shift control, the
current gear will be selected as the shift range.) Then, the shift range changes one at a time, as the driver
moves the shift lever forward (“+”) or backward (“–”).
D Under this control, the ECM effects optimal shift control within the usable gear range that the driver
has selected. The 1st gear is shifted to when the vehicle is stopped.
D Holding the transmission control switch in “+” with the shift lever in S will change the shift range to
the S6 range regardless of range (S1 to S5).
D When the shift lever is in S, the S mode indicator light in the combination meter illuminates. The shift
range indicator indicates the shift range position that the driver has selected.

Diagnosis
D When the ECM detects a malfunction, the ECM records the malfunction and memorizes the information
related to the fault. Furthermore, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) in the combination meter
illuminates or blinks to inform the driver.
D The ECM will also store the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) of the malfunctions. The DTCs can be
accessed using the Techstream.
For details, see the 2010 SEQUOIA Repair Manual.
Fail-safe
The fail-safe function minimizes the loss of operability when an abnormality occurs in a sensor or a shift
solenoid valve.
" Fail-safe Control List A
Malfunction Part Function

When the input speed sensor malfunctions, shift control is effected
using the information from the output speed sensor signal (SP2).
Input Speed Sensor (NT)
During an input speed sensor malfunction, upshifting to the 5th and 6th,
AI-shift and flex lock-up clutch control are prohibited.
When the output speed sensor malfunctions, shift control is effected
using the information from the input speed sensor signal (NT).
Output Speed Sensor (SP2)
When the output speed sensor malfunctions, upshifting to the 5th and
6th, AI-shift and flex lock-up clutch control are prohibited.
ATF Temperature When the ATF temperature sensor No. 1 malfunctions, upshifting to the
Sensor No. 1 (THO1) 5th and 6th and flex lock-up clutch control are prohibited.
When a shift solenoid valve listed at left fails, the current to the failed
shift solenoid valve is cut off.
Shift Solenoid Valves
Shift control is changed to a fail-safe mode to shift gears using the
S1, S2, S3, S4 and SR
normal shift solenoid valves to allow for continued driving. Refer to the
table on the next page for an operation example.
Shift Solenoid Valves During a shift solenoid valve SL1 or SL2 malfunction, upshifting to the
SL1 and SL2 5th and 6th and flex lock-up clutch control are prohibited.
During a shift solenoid valve SLU malfunction, the current to the shift
Shift Solenoid Valve SLU solenoid valve is stopped. Because this stops the lock-up control and
flex lock-up control, fuel economy decreases.
During a shift solenoid valve SLT malfunction, the current to the shift
solenoid valve is stopped. Because this stops the line pressure optimal
Shift Solenoid Valve SLT
control, the shift shock increases. However, shifting is effected through
normal clutch pressure control.
