Operation of the automatic transmission system

Página 20

The automatic transmission system is a crucial part of an automobile engine. He is responsible for changing the vehicle's gears automatically, without the need for a driver to do it manually.

The automatic transmission system is made up of several parts, including the torque converter, oil pump, clutches, solenoid valves, and sensors. The torque converter is responsible for converting the engine's energy into torque, which is then transmitted to the vehicle's wheels. The oil pump is responsible for supplying the necessary oil to lubricate the moving parts of the automatic transmission system.

Clutches are responsible for engaging and disengaging the vehicle's gears. Solenoid valves control the flow of oil to the clutches, allowing them to be engaged or disengaged. Sensors monitor vehicle speed, throttle position and other key information to ensure gear changes are made smoothly and efficiently.

The automatic transmission system has several operating modes, including normal driving mode, sport driving mode and economy driving mode. Normal driving mode is the default mode, which is suitable for most driving conditions. Sport driving mode is designed to offer a sportier driving experience, with faster gear changes and quicker throttle response. Eco drive mode is designed to maximize fuel efficiency by reducing the number of gear changes and keeping the engine at lower rpm.

In general, the automatic transmission system is very reliable and requires little maintenance. However, it is important to follow the manufacturer's recommendations regarding oil changes and other preventative maintenance to ensure the system operates properly for many years to come.
