The "Transmission ECM" controls the operation of the "Electronic Clutch Pressure Control" (ECPC) solenoid valves ( (1) through (7)) for control of the transmission. The ECM uses the transmission clutch proportional solenoid valves in order to shift the transmission. The transmission solenoid valves control the hydraulic circuits that engage the transmission clutch pressures. The ECM supplies electrical current to the appropriate transmission solenoid valves to change the direction and speed of the truck.

The ECM controls the modulation of clutch pressure by sending a variable output current to the appropriate proportional clutch solenoids. The ECM uses input information from the following to determine the correct output current for the solenoids:

  • the controls

  • the transmission speed sensors

  • the transmission temperature sensor

The Transmission ECM will output a pulse width modulated (PWM) signal in order to vary the current to the solenoid. The current to the solenoid determines the amount of pilot oil pressure that is applied to the hydraulic valve spool. The travel of the spool is proportional to the electrical current that is supplied to the solenoid. The position of the valve spool controls the amount of hydraulic oil pressure that is applied to the clutch. The pressure will determine the engagement of clutch. An increase in the electrical output current of the ECM will result in an increase of the engagement pressure of the clutch.

In order to control the shifting of the transmission, the "Transmission ECM" will energize one clutch solenoid when the machine is in PARK or NEUTRAL. The ECM will energize different combinations of clutch solenoids when the machine is in one of the available gears.

A high current input is made initially. This overcomes the inertia of the valve and the clutch components and this initiates filling of the oil passage leading to the clutch piston. The current is reduced as the clutch piston is filled with oil and the plates move toward engagement. The current is held at a minimum value in order to allow the pressure of the oil in the clutch to increase slowly. The clearances between the plates and the disks are taken up smoothly. This period is called touchup. Once the plates and the disks are in contact, the current is increased gradually in order to ensure that maximum pressure is applied to the clutch in a smooth manner.

Electronic control of this process provides improved quality of transmission shifts.

A combination of clutches engages each of the eight forward gears and reverse gear.
