2. Torque Converter
This torque converter has optimally designed fluid passages and impeller configuration resulting in
substantially enhanced transmission efficiency to ensure better starting, acceleration and fuel economy.
Furthermore, a hydraulically operated lock-up mechanism which cuts power transmission losses due to
slippage at medium and high speeds is used.

3. Oil Pump
The oil pump is driven by the torque converter. It lubricates the planetary gear units and supplies operating
pressure for the hydraulic control system.

With shifting control in uphill/downhill driving, the ECM calculates the throttle opening angle and the
acceleration rate to determine whether the vehicle is in the uphill or downhill state. While driving uphill
on a winding road with ups and downs, the 4th upshift is restricted to ensure a smooth drive. Also, if a
brake application is detected while the ECM judges a downhill travel in 4th, the transmission
automatically downshifts to 3rd in order to provide an appropriate engine brake.

2) Uphill/Downhill Judgment
The actual acceleration calculated from the speed sensor signal is compared with the reference
acceleration stored in the ECM to judge uphill or downhill driving.
The ECM judges an uphill condition if the actual acceleration is smaller than the reference acceleration,
and restricts the 3rd to 4th upshift after a 4th to 3rd downshift has occurred. Also, the ECM judges a
downhill condition if the actual acceleration is greater than the reference acceleration, and restricts the
4th upshift while traveling in 3rd. If a brake application is detected while traveling in 4th, it downshifts
to 3rd.

Diagnosis
When the ECM detects a malfunction, It makes a diagnosis and memorizes the failed section.
Furthermore, the MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) in the combination meter illuminates or blinks to
inform the driver.
At the same time, the DTCs (Diagnosis Trouble Codes) are stored in memory. The DTCs can be read by
connecting a hand-held tester. For details, see the 2003 Corolla Matrix Repair Manual (Pub. No.
RM940U).
Fail Safe
This function minimizes the loss of operability when any abnormality occurs in each sensor or solenoid.

Overdrive Switch
The O/D (Overdrive) switch is the momentary type. The operation of this switch is described below:
a) Turn the ignition switch from OFF to ON turns the overdrive ON.
b) Pressing the O/D switch closes the contact points, and releasing the switch opens the contact points.
c) Accordingly, pressing the switch causes the signal to be input into the ECM.
d) The ECM turns OFF the overdrive (O/D OFF indicator light turn ON).
e) Pressing the O/D switch again turns the overdrive back ON (O/D OFF indicator light turns OFF).
