Legend for solenoid valve logic: Solenoid valve is not activated (current: approx. 100 mA) or Gear shifting component open Solenoid valve is activated Solenoid valve is activated (current: approx. 1.0 A) Corresponding clutch closed Corresponding brake closed Freewheel locked Solenoid valve is energised differently depending on operating state
T Note The function is inverse to applied current, since EDS N92, N93, N282 and N283 have a falling characteristic curve. This means that the respective shifting component is operated if the EDS is not activated.
in tiptronic mode (rst gear with enginebrake) solenoid valves are activated for a short time only during gearshifts

Hydraulic control
Valve body
The clutches and brakes (shifting components) are controlled by the valve body by means of hydraulically operated valves (so-called shift valves). The shift valves are controlled by electromagnetic valves, which in turn are activated by automatic gearbox control unit J217. In addition to the shifting components, the valve body controls the torque converter lock-up clutch and regulates the various pressures inside the gearbox (e. g. primary pressure, control pressure, torque converter pressure and lubricating pressure). It is to a large extent responsible for oil supply, and therefore proper operation of the gearbox. The valve body houses the following components: the mechanically operated gear selector valve the hydraulically controlled switch valves two electrically controlled solenoid valves (3/2-way valves) six electrically controlled pressure control valves (modulating valves) two pressure switches (hydraulic pressure sender) and the gearbox oil temperature sensor

Electromagnetic valves
In the case of electromagnetic valves, a distinction is made between shift solenoids with two switch positions (OPEN-CLOSE) and electrical pressure control valves (referred to as EDS or modulating valves). The shift solenoids (N88/N89) are so-called 3/2 valves or OPEN-CLOSE valves. 3/2 valve means the valves has 3 terminals and 2 switch positions (open/closed or OPEN-CLOSE). The shift solenoids are used for switching the hydraulic valves. The electronic pressure control valves (EDS) convert an electrical current to a proportional hydraulic control pressure. Two types of EDS valve are installed. EDS valves with a rising characteristic curve increase the pilot pressure (P) with rising control current (I) - deenergised - zero pilot pressure (0 mA = 0 bar). EDS valves with a falling characteristic curve reduce the pressure with rising pilot current - deenergised max. pilot pressure.

Effects of fault: If the self-diagnosis detects a faulty electromagnetic valve, the emergency mode will usually be activated. You can nd more information about the emergency mode on page 70. Electrical and mechanical faults have very different effects due to the complexity of the electrohydraulic control system. They may affect for instance only the faulty system in question (e.g. the torque converter lock-up clutch in the case of N91), but can also lead to activation of the emergency mode if safe operation can no longer be guaranteed. If the EDS N93 fails, the gearbox operates at maximum system pressure. This can result in harsh engagement when shifting from P or N to D/S or R and during all gearshifts. If the EDS N91 fails, the torque converter lock-up clutch cannot be activated and therefore remains open.
