Vehicles With VDC System

The electrohydraulic control system for the transmission and transfer consists of various sensors and switches, a transmission control module (TCM) and the hydraulic controlling units including solenoid valves. The system controls the automatic transmission operation, including gear shifting, lock-up clutch operation, line pressure, automatic control pattern selection ("Base" and "Power"), and gear-shift timing. It also controls operation of the transfer multi-plate clutch (LSD). The TCM determines vehicle operating conditions from various input signals and controls a total of eight solenoids (shift solenoids 1 and 2, low clutch timing solenoid, 2-4 brake timing solenoid, line pressure duty solenoid, lock-up duty solenoid, transfer duty solenoid, and 2-4 brake duty solenoid) by sending appropriate signals to them.
