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

Description and operation

Description
Automatic transaxle system relies on various measurement data to determine the current control status and extrapolate the necessary compensation values.extrapolate the necessary compensation values.
These values are used to control the actuators and achieve the desired control output.
If a problem with the drivetrain, including the transaxle, has been identified, perform self-diagnosis and basic transaxle inspection (oil and fluid inspection) and then check the control system's components using the diagnosis tool.

TCM Learning
1.
Overview and purpose of learning
1)
The purpose is to ensure the initial operation safety by correcting the oil pressure differences between transmissions.
2)
For relearning of TCM, process relearning by deleting existing contents using diagnostic tool when there is shift shock at gears 1-2-3-4-5-6.
2.
In the following case, TCM learning is required.
1)
Automatic transaxle assembly replacement
2)
TCM replacement
3)
TCM upgrade
3.
TCM learning procedure
1)
Condition : ATF temperature 35 - 95°C (95 - 203°F)
2)
Stop learning
- Repeat the shift pattern shown below five times or more with the brake stepped on.

3)
Driving relearn
- Maintain the throttle open to a constant level with the gear in D position and increment from 1st to 5th gear within 1500 ~ 2500 RPM of engine and decelerate slowly.
With (ON, throttle opening: 0%), decrement from 6th to 1st gear.
- Upshift throttle opening : 15 - 35% (a proper value for making upshift within 1500 - 2500RPM of engine)

Transaxle Control Module (TCM). Repair procedures

Inspection
1.
TCM ground circuit test : Measure the resistance between TCM and chassis ground.
(Inspect the terminal connected to the chassis ground with the back of harness connector as the inspection point of TCM side.)
Specification : Below 1Ω
2.
TCM connector test : Disconnect the TCM connector and visually check the ground terminals on TCM side and harness side for bent pins or poor contact pressure.
3.
If problem is not found in Steps 1 and 2, the TCM could be faulty.
If so, replace the TCM with a new one, and then check the vehicle again. If the vehicle operates normally then the problem was likely with the TCM.
4.
Reinspection of original TCM : Install the original TCM (probably broken) into a known-good vehicle and check the vehicle. If the problem occurs again, replace the original TCM with a new one.
If the problem does not reoccur, this is an intermittent problem and other part may be faulty.
Removal
1.
Perform the oil pressure characteristics backup procedure using the diagnostic tool when replacing with a new TCM.

2.
Turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect the negative (-) battery cable.
3.
Remove the air cleaner assembly.
(Refer to Engine Mechanical System - "Air Cleaner")
4.
Remove the TCM.
1)
Disconnect the TCM connector (A).

2)
Pull the clip (A) and then removing the TCM (B).

Installation
1.
To install, reverse the removal procedure.
2.
Oil-pressure characteristics input (TCM exchange)

  
In order to avoid any problem including sense of starting delay of the transaxle and shock at acceleration and vehicle start, make sure to process learning for TCM after replacing the transaxle / TCM.
(Refer to Automatic Transaxle Control System - "Repair Procedures")
Since TCM and ECM are integrated, perform the procedures related in the ECM after replacing the TCM.
(Refer to Engine Control / Fuel System - "Engine Control Module (ECM)")

Transaxle Oil Temperature Sensor. Description and operation

Description
Transaxle oil temperature sensor monitors the automatic transaxle fluid's temperature and conveys the readings to TCM.
It is an NTC (Negative Thermal Coefficient) sensor whose resistance has an inversely proportional relationship with the temperature level.
Data produced by this sensor is used to identify damper clutch activation and deactivation zones within the low temperature and high temperature range and to compensate hydraulic pressure levels during gear changes.
