DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

Kickdown
The EAT ECU monitors the input of the throttle position sensor to determine when kickdown is required. When it 
detects a kickdown situation, the EAT ECU immediately initiates a down shift provided the target gear will not cause 
the engine speed limit to be exceeded.

Torque converter lock-up
The EAT ECU energises the lock-up solenoid valve to engage the lock-up clutch. Lock-up clutch operation is 
dependent on throttle position, engine speed, operating mode and the range selected on the transfer box.

High range
Unique lock-up maps, similar to the shift maps, are incorporated in the economy and sport modes for all forward gears. 
Engagement and disengagement of the lock-up clutch is dependent on throttle position and engine speed.

Low range
To enhance off road control, particularly when manoeuvring at low speeds, torque converter lock-up does not occur 
when there is any degree of throttle opening. When the throttle is closed above a preset engine speed, the lock-up 
clutch engages to provide maximum engine braking.

Increased load/reduced torque compensation
To aid performance and driveability in the high range economy mode, the EAT ECU has three adaptive shift and lock-
up maps. These maps delay upshifts and torque converter lock-up similar to the sport mode if the inputs from the 
engine indicate:

l

A sustained high load on the engine, such as occurs when the vehicle is ascending a steep gradient or towing a 
trailer.

l

A lower than normal engine torque, such as occurs at altitude or high ambient temperatures.

The EAT ECU monitors the engine inputs and selects the most appropriate adaptive map for the prevailing conditions.

Diagnostics
While the ignition is on, the EAT ECU diagnoses the system for faults. The extent of the diagnostic capability at any 
particular time depends on the prevailing operating conditions, e.g. it is not possible to check torque converter lock-
up while the vehicle is stationary, or to check for a short circuit to earth if the circuit concerned is already at a low 
potential.

If a fault is detected, the EAT ECU immediately stores a fault code and the values of three operating parameters 
associated with the fault. Depending on the fault, there are four possible effects:

l

The fault has little effect on gearbox operation or vehicle emissions. The driver will probably not notice any 
change and the warning lamps remain extinguished.

l

The fault has little effect on gearbox operation but may effect vehicle emissions. On NAS vehicles, if the fault is 
detected on a second consecutive drive cycle, the MIL illuminates.

l

All gears are available but kickdown does not function. The sport and manual warning lamps flash. The MIL 
remains extinguished.

l

Limp home mode is selected and vehicle performance is greatly reduced. The sport and manual warning lamps 
flash. In all markets, if the fault is detected on a second consecutive drive cycle, the MIL illuminates.

After the detection of a fault, the effects remain active for the remainder of the drive cycle. In subsequent drive cycles, 
as soon as the EAT ECU diagnoses the fault is no longer present, it resumes normal control of the gearbox. The 
conditions required to diagnose that the fault is no longer present depend on the fault. Some faults require the engine 
to be started, others require only that the ignition is switched on.

After a fault has not recurred for forty warm-up cycles, the fault is deleted from the EAT ECU memory. Only five 
different faults can be stored in the memory at any one time. If a further fault occurs, the fault with the lowest priority 
will be replaced by the new fault.

Mechanical limp home
In the mechanical limp home mode, gear engagement is controlled by the manual valve. The gearbox is fixed in 4th 
gear if the fault occurs while the vehicle is moving, or 3rd gear if the fault occurs while the vehicle is stationary. 3rd 
gear is also engaged if a vehicle is brought to a stop and the selector lever is moved out of, and back into, D. Neutral 
and reverse gear are also available.
