OVERVIEW
The 8HP70 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
- The Transmission Control Module (TCM).
The 8HP70 transmission has the following features:
- Designed to be maintenance free.
- The 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 TCS in the floor console.
On vehicles featured with the stop/start system, the 8HP70 automatic
transmission is equipped with a Hydraulic
Impulse Storage (HIS) device. The HIS ensures pressurized ATF is available to
the shift elements as quickly as
possible when the engine is started.
