Hyundai Creta GS 2014-2019 Service Manual / Automatic Transaxle System / Automatic Transaxle Control System / Transaxle Control Module (TCM)

Description and operation

Description
•
Monitoring the vehicle's operating conditions to determine the optimal gear setting.
•
Performing a gear change if the current gear setting differs from the identified optimal gear setting.
•
Determining the need for damper clutch (D/C) activation and engages the clutch accordingly.
•
Calculating the optimal line pressure level by constantly monitoring the torque level and adjusts the pressure accordingly.
•
Diagnosing the automatic transaxle for faults and failures.

Repair procedures

Inspection
Transaxle Control Module (TCM) Problem Inspection Procedure
1.
TEST TCM GROUND CIRCUIT: Measure resistance between TCM and chassis ground using the backside of TCM harness connector as TCM side check point. If the problem is found, repair it.
Specification: Below 1 Ω
2.
TEST TCM CONNECTOR: Disconnect the TCM connector and visually check the ground terminals on TCM side and harness side for bent pins or poor contact pressure. If the problem is found, repair it.
3.
If problem is not found in Step 1 and 2, the TCM could be faulty. If so, make sure there were no DTC's before swapping the TCM with a new one, and then check the vehicle again. If DTC's were found, examine this first before swapping TCM.
4.
RE-TEST THE ORIGINAL TCM: Install the original TCM (may be broken) into a known-good vehicle and check the vehicle. If the problem occurs again, replace the original TCM with a new one. If problem does not occur, this is intermittent problem (Refer to “Intermittent Problem Inspection Procedure” in Basic Inspection Procedure).
Removal
1.
Turn ignition switch OFF.
2.
Disconnect the negative (-) battery cable.
3.
Remove the battery.
4.
Disconnect the TCM connector (A).
5.
Remove the TCM (A) after removing the bolt and nut.
TCM installation bolt/nut:
9.8 ~ 11.8 N.m (1.0 ~ 1.2 kgf.m, 7.2 ~ 8.7 lb-ft)

Installation
1.
Install in the reverse order of removal.
  
•
Perform the procedures related in the ECM after replacing the TCM.
(Refer to Engine Control / Fuel System - "Engine Control Module")
•
Perform the TCM adaptive values learning procedure.
(Refer to Automatic Transaxle Control System - "Repair procedures")
