Hyundai Santa Fe (TM): Hydraulic System - Automatic Transaxle System (SBC)Hyundai Santa Fe (TM): Hydraulic System

Description and operation

Description
•
The hydraulic system consists of a valve body, an oil filter and an oil pump.
•
The oil pump is powered by the engine. ATF passes through the oil filter and gets distributed along the oil channels.
•
The oil becomes highly pressurized as it exits the oil pump and passes through the line pressure valve before being fed to the clutch & brake control valve, clutch, and brakes.
•
TCM controls the hydraulic pressure using solenoid valves and controls clutch and brake operations.
Flow of the hydraulic system

Valve Body. Description and operation

Description
•
The valve body is essential to automatic transaxle control and consists of various valves used to control the oil feed from the oil pump. Specifically, these valves consist of pressure regulator valves, oil redirection valves, shift valves, and manual valves.
•
The body also features electronic solenoid valves that ensure smooth gear changes.

(Be especially sure to remove residual ATF between automatic transaxle case and valve body cover)
•
After installing the valve body cover, make sure to check the oil leakage at the connection area with the engine ON
3.
Clear the diagnostic trouble codes (DTC) using the diagnostic tool.
  
•
Even though disconnecting the battery negative terminal, the DTCs will not be cleared. So, be sure to clear the DTCs using the diagnostic tool.
4.
Reset the automatic transaxle adaptive values using the diagnostic tool.

5.
Input the oil pressure characteristics using the diagnostic tool.
(1)
Select ‘Oil-pressure Characteristics (Solenoid Valve Replacement)’ in the S/W Management.

(2)
Select the replaced solenoid valve.

(3)
Check the code marked on the solenoid valve.
(※ Caution : Check the code at first before replacement)

(4)
If the code is inputted 2 times correctly, the procedure is completed.

6.
In order to prevent start delay and gear shift shock during acceleration and start, perform TCM learning after replacing the solenoid valve.
