Control module functions

The control module contains the electronic control logic of the automatic transmission, where the various functions are memorized, and is located under the rear seat.

The control module receives information concerning the operation of the automatic transmission from the various switches and sensors located on the gearbox, engine and dashboard, and issues the appropriate commands to four solenoids contained in a valve assembly located at the front of the automatic transmission, and to the fuel injection/ignition electronic control unit for reducing the driving torque under particular operating conditions.
