The mechatronics (electrohydraulic transmission control module and hydraulic selector unit) have various solenoid valves and electronic pressure control valves.
The solenoid valves are 3/2-way valves, i.e. valves with 3 connections and 2 switch positions.
The EDS convert electric current into a proportional hydraulic pressure and thus activate hydraulic valves with their corresponding switch elements.
Two types of electronic pressure actuators are fitted:
EDS (electronic pressure actuators) with rising characteristic curve:
Electronic pressure actuators, falling characteristic curve
If the mechatronics or the hydraulic control gear are replaced in the course of a repair or the transmission control is newly programmed, the service function ”Transmission adaptation” must be carried out.
After replacement of the entire transmission, the service function does not have to be run, as the transmission is already fully calibrated on delivery.
