Card of identification of plugs of the 13-contact socket of the electrohydraulic control unit of switchings

1 — the Sensor of 3 turns (Y3/6n3)
2 — Э / the magnetic valve of adjustment of the modulating pressure (Y3/6y1)
3 — the Sensor of 2 turns (Y3/6n2)
4 — the Entrance signal of the sensor of temperature (Y3/6b1) and contact of blocking of a starter (Y3/6s1)
6 — Supply voltage э / magnetic valves
7 — sensor Supply voltage

8 — Э / the magnetic valve of gear shifting of 2-3 (Y3/6y5)
9 — Э / the magnetic valve of gear shifting of 3-4 (Y3/6y4)
10 — Э / the magnetic valve of adjustment of pressure of switching (Y3/6y2)
11 — Э / the magnetic valve (blocking of the converter of rotation) (Y3/6y6)
12 — the sensor Case
13 — Э / the magnetic valve of gear shifting of 1-2/4-5 (Y3/6y3)

TCM (N15/3) determines the current working parameters of the vehicle and exercises control of consecutive gear shifting, proceeding from simplicity of switching and parameters of the movement.

Activation of electromagnetic valves of switching is carried out at the command of the ETC (N15/3) control unit. The required size of pressure is calculated on the basis of the entering data and necessary adjustment adjustment of the transferred torque.
