DESCRIPTION

Transaxle is a 4-speed overdrive electronically controlled automatic transaxle. Transaxle consists of lock-up torque converter, oil pump, 3 planetary gear sets, clutch and brake units, accumulator pistons, valve body and 4 electronic valve body solenoids.
Valve body with solenoids and Transaxle Control Module (TCM) are used for controlling transaxle operation. Solenoids are controlled by TCM.
TCM receives input signals from various components to determine transaxle shift points and torque converter lock-up. Components consist of mode selector switch, throttle position sensor, engine speed (RPM) sensor, vehicle speed sensor, gear position sensor, transaxle oil temperature sensor, brake switch and kickdown switch.
See Fig. 2.
Transaxle is equipped with a mode selector switch. Switch is used for normal, high performance and winter driving conditions. Transaxle is also equipped with a shift lock and key interlock system. Shift lock system prevents shift lever from being moved from Park position unless brake pedal is applied. In case of malfunction, shift lever can be released by depressing shift lock override button,

OPERATION

BRAKE SWITCH

Brake switch is an input device mounted above the brake pedal. When brake pedal is applied, brake switch delivers an input signal to the TCM. TCM uses input signal to control No. 3 solenoid for torque converter lock-up.

ENGINE SPEED (RPM) SENSOR

Electromagnetic RPM sensor, mounted in transaxle housing, is activated by a toothed impulse wheel. Sensor is an input device which delivers an engine RPM signal to the TCM. By comparing engine RPM and vehicle speed, TCM can determine amount of torque converter slippage.

GEAR POSITION SENSOR

NOTE: Gear position sensor may also be referred to as neutral safety switch.
Gear position sensor is an input device mounted on the transaxle manual valve shaft. Sensor delivers an input signal to TCM, indicating transaxle manual valve gear position.

KEY INTERLOCK SYSTEM

With ignition key in ignition switch, place shift lever into “P” position. Ensure ignition key can be installed and removed from ignition switch with ease. If key is difficult to remove, key interlock cable is too short. Adjust cable as necessary. Move shift lever to position other than Park. Ignition key should not be removable from ignition switch. If key can be removed, cable is too long. Adjust cable as necessary.

KICKDOWN SWITCH

Kickdown switch, located at firewall on accelerator cable, sends input signal to TCM when accelerator pedal is fully depressed. TCM uses input signal for controlling transaxle downshifting and torque converter lock-up.

MODE SELECTOR SWITCH

Mode selector switch, located to left of shift lever, has 3 different modes which effect transaxle shift points. Input signal from mode selector switch is sent to TCM. TCM uses input signal for controlling transaxle shifting and torque converter lock-up.
ECON (Economy) mode, is for normal driving and provides early upshifts combined with lock-up as often as possible for top 3 gears. Transaxle line pressure is modulated to provide smooth gear
engagement.
In SPORT mode, transaxle shift points are designed to provide the highest possible performance. Under normal acceleration, transaxle shifts occur the same as in ECON mode. During increased acceleration, TCM selects shift and lock-up points for best possible performance.
WINTER mode prevents wheel spin on slippery surfaces. Transaxle starts out in high gear. When WINTER mode is selected, warning light on dash is illuminated. This mode may also be used when driver wants to control gear selection.

OIL TEMPERATURE SENSOR

Oil temperature sensor, located below transaxle oil pan, measures transaxle fluid temperature and delivers an input signal to TCM. TCM uses input signal for controlling transaxle shifting and torque converter lock-up.

SHIFT LOCK OVERRIDE FUNCTION

Move shift lever to “P” position and turn ignition key to (I) or (II) position. Press override button. Shift lever should move from “P” position. Return shift lever to “P” position and remove ignition key. Press override button. Shift lever should not move from “P” position. Override function should operate only when ignition key is
in (I) or (II) position.

TRANSAXLE CONTROL MODULE (TCM)

TCM is located in control module box in engine compartment, between coolant recovery reservoir and washer fluid reservoir. TCM is in position No. 3 in module box. See Fig. 3. TCM determines shift points and torque converter lock-up timing based on input signals received from various components. Components consist of mode selector switch, throttle position sensor, engine speed (RPM) sensor, vehicle speed sensor, gear position sensor, transaxle oil temperature sensor, brake switch and kickdown switch.

THROTTLE POSITION (TP) SENSOR

Throttle position sensor, mounted on throttle body, determines throttle position and delivers an input signal to TCM. TCM uses input signal for controlling transaxle upshifts and torque converter lock-up.

VALVE BODY SOLENOIDS

Valve body solenoids, mounted on the valve body, are output devices controlled by signals received from the TCM. The No. 1 and No.
2 solenoids are used to control transaxle shifting. No. 3 solenoid is used to control torque converter lock-up. No. 4 solenoid is used to control transaxle line pressure. For solenoid locations, See Fig. 2. For valve body solenoid usage, see VALVE BODY SOLENOID APPLICATION table.

SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

When performing vehicle diagnosis:
* Ensure transaxle fluid level is correct and fluid is neither contaminated nor aerated.
* Ensure throttle and kickdown cables are properly adjusted.
See appropriate AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SERVICING article in
TRANSMISSION SERVICING section.
* Ensure battery is fully charged.
* Perform visual inspection, ensuring all electrical
connections at transaxle, TCM, throttle position sensor, gear position sensor, speed sensors and brake switch are clean and properly installed.
* Repair diagnostic trouble codes in order displayed.
NOTE: Volvo diagnostic unit (1995 vehicles) or scan tool (1995 and
1996 vehicles) can be used in 6 different system test functions using manufacturer’s instructions to activate system components and perform several tests on transaxle. See SYSTEM TEST FUNCTIONS.

SELF-DIAGNOSTICS

Signals from various sensors are monitored continuously by TCM. If certain signals are lost or become faulty, TCM will cut off electrical signal to transaxle components to protect transaxle. TCM adopts fixed substitute values (limp-home mode) to enable vehicle to be driven when certain failures occur. Warning indicator light will illuminate. Transaxle will not shift gears due to lack of electrical signal. Transaxle will operate in 4th gear in “D”, and in 3rd gear in “L” position. Manual shifting is possible into all other shift lever positions. When starting off in limp-home mode, shift lever should be
in “L” position to minimize transaxle wear. Faults are recorded in TCM
memory in the form of Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).
On 1995 vehicles, DTCs can be displayed using LED on Volvo diagnostic unit in engine compartment, using Volvo Diagnostic Key Scan Tool connected to Volvo Data Link Connector (DLC) in engine compartment, using Volvo System Tester Scan Tool connected to Volvo Data Link Connector (DLC) in engine compartment, or using an aftermarket scan tool connected to On-Board Diagnostics II (OBD-II) Data Link Connector (DLC). OBD-II DLC is located in center console in front of gear shift lever. Using OBD-II DLC and scan tool will only output OBD-II DTCs, and not entire range of DTCs. See Figs. 5 and 6.
