Title: Electronically controlled automatic transmission control system

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6812287

This patent describes an electronically controlled automatic transmission control system for controlling an automatic transmission for a vehicle comprising: an electronic controller which receives and functions in response to input signals corresponding to the running conditions of the vehicle, such as running speed of the vehicle and degree of throttle opening and; a hydraulic controller including a fluid pressure source, shift control valves for changing over connection of the fluid pressure source to respective hydraulic servomotors of frictional engaging mechanisms which engage, release or fix components of a gear train. The controller also includes solenoid valves adapted to be controlled by the electronic controller to change input signal pressures to the shift control valve and a manual selector valve capable of moving through predetermined set positions, namely, a neutral position (N-position), a drive position (D-position) and a reverse position (R-position). This is adapted to connect the fluid pressure source selectively to the shift valves or the hydraulic servomotors; and adapted to control the automatic transmission according to running of the vehicle including the set position of the manual selector valve. The solenoid valves are a first solenoid valve and a second solenoid valve, the shift control valves being first, second and third shift control valves.
