General information
Transmission 722.9 is an electronically controlled automatic transmission with 7 forward gears and 2 reverse gears. All the transmission functions and transmission components are combined in one assembly module. Integrating the electrohydraulic controller unit (21) in transmission minimizes the number of interfaces to the wiring harness. The electrohydraulic controller unit (21) is mounted at the bottom of the transmission housing. It is permanently flushed with transmission oil for cooling.
Transmission 722.9 can be roughly divided into the following component groups:
^ Torque converter with torsional damper and torque converter lockup clutch (16)
^ Oil pump (6) for producing the necessary oil pressure and for lubrication of the actuators and bearing points
^ Light alloy transmission housing with mechanical transmission components and electrohydraulic controller unit (21)
^ Mechanical transmission components, consisting of a Ravigneaux gear set (9), front single planetary gear set (12a), rear single planetary gear set (12b) and a park pawl
^ Multidisk clutch K1 (8), multidisk clutch K2 (11), multidisk clutch K3 (14), multidisk brake B1 (7), multidisk brake B2 (15), multidisk brake B3 (10) and multidisk brake BR (13).
Single-sided disks are used on the multidisk clutches (8, 11, 14), multidisk brake B1 (7) and multidisk brake B3 (10). On this type of disk the friction lining is only applied on one side. This improves heat distribution in the disk pack and enables a more compact disk pack design while at the same time increasing load bearing capacity and reducing the mass. Lamella coated on both sides continue to be used for the B2 multi-disk brake (15) and BR multi-disk brake (13).
^ Electrohydraulic controller unit (21), consisting of the electric controller unit (VGS), the valve body and the valve housing
The following information are taken into account when shifting the drive positions:
^ Vehicle speed
^ Vehicle load condition
^ Driving resistance
^ Position and actuation speed of accelerator pedal sensor
^ Position of selector lever and engaged gear
^ Position of the transmission mode switch
^ Oil temperature and other information about the status of the transmission
^ Additional signals available via CAN-C (CAN-C)
Data exchange with the following control units takes place via CAN-C (CAN-C):
^ Instrument cluster (A1)
^ CDI control unit (N3/9) (with diesel engine)
^ ME-SFI [ME] control unit (with gasoline engine)
^ Electronic selector lever module control unit (N15/5)
^ ESP and BAS control unit (N47-5)
^ EIS [EZS] control unit (N73)
^ Steering column module (N80)
^ Fully integrated transmission control (VGS) control unit (Y3/8n4)
This involves the processing of the following data from other systems:
CDI control unit (N3/9)
^ Shift line displacement, aids engine warm-up
^ Specified gear, lower/upper limit, aids engine warm-up
^ Engine idle specified speed for the actuation of the torque converter lockup clutch (16)
^ Shift line displacement dependent on load condition of diesel particulate filter (DPF) (with code (474) particulate filter), a heavily loaded DPF results in slightly lower upshift speed for full-load and kick-down upshifts
^ Emergency operation of the common rail diesel injection (CDI), the pedal value is limited to approx. 20 %, the driveability of the vehicle is assured
^ Cruise control controls, a special shifting strategy for cruise control mode is filed in the fully integrated transmission control (VGS) control unit (Y3/8n4) (up to 31.5.05)
^ Engine coolant temperature, used as substitute value in event of malfunction in transmission oil temperature sensor (VGS)
^ Engine oil temperature, shift limitation is canceled
^ Requirement torque for Electronic Stability Program (Electronic- Stability-Program) (ESP), torque reduction or torque increase taking into account directional stability and road adhesion
^ Pedal value
^ Engine torque
^ Request for torque converter lockup clutch (16) "OPEN" during heating up phase of engine, increase in engine speed
^ Engine-speed limitation function active, adaptations are deactivated in the fully integrated transmission control (VGS) control unit (Y3/8n4)
^ Start-off in 1st gear, aids engine warm-up
^ Engine speed, for slip calculation of torque converter lockup clutch (16) and for start of pressure calculation by fully integrated transmission control (VGS) control unit (Y3/8n4)
^ Kickdown
