OVERVIEW
The 8HP45 transmission is an electronically controlled, hydraulically
operated, 8 speed automatic unit.
A single unit known as the Mechatronic valve block is located inside the
transmission. The Mechatronic valve block
contains the following control components:
- Hydraulic control elements
- Electronic control elements
- TCM.
The 8HP45 is a smaller version of the 8HP70 automatic transmission, with the
same power flow and control
strategies. The 8HP70 transmission is specified for high power and high torque
applications. The 8HP45 transmission
is optimized for efficiency and weight with a saving of 5 kg over the 8HP70. The
8HP45 is specified for lower torque
and power capacity applications.
The 8HP45 transmission has the following features:
- Designed to be maintenance free
- Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) is 'fill for life'
- The torque converter features a controlled slip feature with
electronically regulated control of lock-up, creating a
smooth transition to the fully locked condition
- Shift programs controlled by the TCM
- Adaptive Shift Strategy (ASIS), to provide continuous adaption of shift
changes to suit the driving style of the
driver, which can vary from sporting to economical
- Connected to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) through the FlexRay
systems bus for communications
- Default mode if major faults occur
- Diagnostics available from the TCM through the FlexRay systems bus.
The transmission selections are made using the Transmission Control Switch (TCS).
On vehicles featured with the stop/start system, the 8HP45 automatic
transmission is equipped with a Hydraulic
Impulse Storage (HIS) device. The HIS makes sure pressurized Automatic
Transmission Fluid (ATF) is available to
the shift elements as quickly as possible when the engine is started.
