System Description: Description

• The TCM receives the manual mode signal, non-manual mode signal, manual mode upshift signal, manual mode downshift signal, paddle shifter upshift signal and paddle shifter downshift signal from combination meter via CAN communication line. The TCM shifts shift pattern control to the manual mode based on these signals, and then shifts the A/T by operating each solenoid valve according to the shift operation of the driver.
  NOTE: When paddle shifter is pulled and held for approximately 60 seconds, gear shift using paddle shifter becomes inoperative. "P0826" is displayed in "Self Diagnostic Results" of CONSULT. In this case, paddle shifter returns to normal status when ignition switch is turned OFF once and then ON again. Gear shift using paddle shifter becomes operative.
• The TCM prohibits the manual mode while being in fail-safe mode due to an A/T malfunction, etc. Refer to Fail-Safe .

Manual Mode Information 

The TCM transmits the manual mode shift refusal signal to the combination meter if the TCM refuses the transmission from the driving status of vehicle when the selector lever or paddle shifter shifts to "UP (+ side)" or "DOWN (- side)" side. The combination meter blinks shift indicator on the combination meter and sounds the buzzer to indicate the driver that the shifting is not performed when receiving this signal. However, the TCM does not transmit the manual mode shift refusal signal in the conditions as per the following.

• When the selector lever or the paddle shifter shifts to "DOWN (- side)" side while driving in 1GR.
• When the selector lever or the paddle shifter shifts to "UP (+ side)" side while driving in 7GR.
