AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION – ZF 5HP24

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 44-2-25

The planetary gear train is a single integral assembly which comprises the following components:

l

Three single planet carrier gearsets connected in series

l

A single sun gear

l

A twin sun gear

l

Three ring gears.

Power Flows
Operation of the transmission is controlled by the EAT ECU which electrically activates various solenoids to control 
the transmission gear selection. The sequence of solenoid activation is based on programmed information in the ECU 
memory and physical transmission operating conditions such as vehicle speed, engine load, throttle position and 
selector lever position.
