Mercedes 722.7 2

Introduction
The 722.7 can be found in the Mercedes A class vehicles, such as the A140/L, A160/L/CDI (CDI
w/668.940/941 engine), A170L/CDI, A190/L, and A210/L Evolution vehicles.

The 722.7 automatic transmission is an electronically controlled 5 speed transaxle with a lockup
clutch in the torque converter. The gear ratios are provided by spur gears. The 4th and 5th gears provide
step up ratios as overdrive. The shift sequences are electronically controlled and gear changes are
provided by individual hydraulically applied multiplate clutch assemblies for each gear. The features
provided by the electronic controls are as follows:

?
Reduced fuel consumption
?
Greater control of shifting
?
Smoother graduation with 5 gears
?
Longer transmission life with improved reliability
?
Lower cost of maintenance

The torque converter and main case housings are made of a light alloy. The oil pump is located in
the torque converter housing.

The internal mechanical part of the gearbox consists of an input shaft which holds the 3rd and 4th
gears. 1st, 2nd and reverse gears are located on the counter shaft and 5th gear is located on the output
shaft along with the differential assembly also located in the main housing. Each gear is driven by an
individual hydraulic multiplate clutch assembly.
The electronic controlled hydraulic valve body is located on the bottom of the transaxle housing
inside of the main case oil sump. Lube holes located along the bores inside the input shaft supply oil
pressure for the torque converter lockup, K3 and K4 clutch. The counter shaft bores provide oil pressure
for the K2 and KR (reverse) clutches. The bore in the output shafts provides oil pressure for the K5
clutch.
Lubricating oil is also provided through orifices located in the shafts. Lubricating oil is provided
to all the bearings and to the K1, K2 K3, K4 and K5 clutches as balance feed oil. The park lock and
reverse gear are comprised of a single forged component, located on the reverse idler shaft.

Limp Home Mode


General Function
Limp mode is provided to ensure safe driving conditions and prevent damage to the
transmission. The system will switch to Limp Home Mode when any critical malfunctions occur.
A fault code is designated to the malfunction and stored in memory.
Electrical Limp Home Mode
When an electrical fault or insufficient clutch pressure downstream of the regulating valves 14
and 3. Excessive high pressure downstream of regulating valve RS25R with a possible fault code
of P1886. The transmission control module (FTC) switches to electronic limp mode. All PWM
solenoids (electrically) and shift valves (hydraulically) are de-energized during limp mode.
Electrical Limp Mode Transmission Operation:
Shift selector in D (drive) the transmission will remain in 5th gear
Shift selector in R (reverse) the transmission will remain in reverse gear
Working (line) pressure will increase to maximum level
Torque Converter Lockup clutch will remain unlocked
Stop the vehicle (not necessary to turn engine off) shift to Park
Wait a minimum of 10 seconds
When shift selector is moved to D, 2nd gear will be available to make the vehicle more operable
When shift selector is moved to R, reverse will be available
Hydraulic Limp Home Mode
If a hydraulic or mechanical transmission fault is detected. The transmission control module
(FTC) (Y3/7n2) may initiate one of several different limp modes, depending upon the type of
fault that occurred. The program designated for a particular shift mode is selected per fault
detected. Each individual limp mode occurrence will set an assigned fault code that will be
stored in memory. The activated limp mode will remain until the fault is corrected or the fault
code stored is erased. Intermittent faults can be reset by the ignition being cycled Off/On.
Mercedes 722.7 7
Limp Home Mode continued..........................
Possible Fault Codes Stored:
P1887 1/4 or 2/5 shift valve stuck in the pressure position, shift valve pressure too high
P1888 1/4 or 2/5 shift valve stuck in the basic position, shift valve pressure too low
P1889 2/5R regulation valve pressure too low or 3 PWM solenoid valve (Y3/7y3) pressure too
high (trans slipping)
P1893 1/4 regulating valve, 3 regulating valve or 1/4 PWM solenoid valve (Y3/7y1) or 3 PWM
solenoid valve (Y3/7y3) pressure too high (incorrect clutch engaged)
Note: depending on which fault code is detected, they can be reset by cycling the ignition Off/On
so long as they have not occurred more than two times during a one drive cycle.

Direct Limp Home Mode
Direct Limp Mode
When an electrical fault is detected while driving with the shifter in the Drive (D) position, all
solenoid valves are electrically turned off by the FTC (transmission control module) Y3/7n2.
Continuous shift valve pressure (p-SV) from PWM Solenoid Valve Shift (Y3/7y5) “Falling
Characteristics” (inversely proportional low voltage high pressure) strokes the shift valves (SS 14 & SS
25) to the pressure position in 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th gears. These same valves are also held into the
pressure position in 5th gear hydraulically.
The 5th Gear Clutch (K5) is supplied maximum regulated Clutch Pressure (p-K5) via Working
Pressure (p-A) from Selector Valve (1) to the regulating valve (RS 25R) sent back through Selector
Valve (1) in the “D” Drive position.
PWM Solenoid Valve 2/5/R (Y3/7y3) “Rising Characteristics” (directly proportional low
voltage low pressure) is turned off exhausting Valve Pressure (p-V25R). The Regulating Valve (RS 25R)
is moved to the regulating position (right) by Supply Pressure (p-VD).

When coming to a stop with the vehicle in Direct Limp Mode and the shifter lever is placed into
Park (P) position for a minimum of 10 seconds. The Working pressure p-A (line) via Selector Valve (1)
strokes the shift valve 25 (SS 25) to the pressure position (right). The PWM Solenoid Valve Shift
(Y3/7y5) “Falling Characteristics” (inversely proportional low voltage high pressure) is deactivated.
This Valve Pressure (p-SV) holds Shift Valve (SS 25) to the pressure position (right) no matter what
position the shifter Select Valve (1) is placed.
The Clutch Pressure (p-K2) from the Regulating Valve (RS 25R) is blocked at the Selector Valve
(1) and the 2nd Gear Clutch (K2) is exhausted to sump through the Selector Valve (1). The Check Ball

Indirect Limp Home Mode continued..........................
The Regulating Valve (RS 25R) supplies maximum regulated Clutch Pressure (p-K2) due to no
pressure from PWM solenoid valve 2/5/R (Y3/7y3) “Rising Characteristics” (directly proportional low
voltage low pressure) (shown on page 9). When Selector Valve (1) is placed from Park into Drive (in
park a minimum of 10 seconds) the 2nd Gear Clutch (K2) is applied. Note: Reverse gear is engaged in
the same manor.
The PWM Solenoid Valve Shift (Y3/7y5) “Falling Characteristics” (inversely proportional low
voltage high pressure) is de-activated. Valve Pressure (p-SV) pressure strokes the Shift Valve (SS 25) to
the pressure position (right). The Check Ball (b) is now held to the left by Valve Pressure ) p-SV). This
allows Clutch Pressure (p-K2) derived from Working Pressure (p-A) from Regulator Valve (RS 25R) to
pass through the Selector Valve (1) to the 2nd Gear Clutch (K2).

Accelerator Pedal

The Kickdown Switch (S16/6) is a spring loaded electronic contact switch located under the
accelerator pedal. When depressed by the accelerator pedal the switch signal is transmitted to the FTC
(transmission control module) (Y3/7n2). The control module program then signals the transmission (via
the solenoid valves) to upshift at a maximum calculated engine speed (late upshifts).

Updated Park Locking Assemble
Park Locking Assembly
Earlier model vehicles utilized a Dual Park Locking assembly that consisted of two locking
control cables. One Ignition Lock controlled and the other controlled by the Brake Pedal. Later models
discontinued the use of the Brake Pedal control cable and only use the Ignition Locking cable. The
updated Ignition Locking control cable passes through the Brake Pedal assembly then on to the
transaxle assembly. This change effects the transaxle case assembly and internals components as well.

Internal Electronic Components
The plastic housing (conductor plate) is referred to as the Electric FTC Control Module. The
Output Shaft RPM sensor (OSS) (Y3/7n1), Starter Lockout Contact switch (3/7s1) and Front Wheel
Drive Transmission Module (FTC) (Y3/7n2) are all integral to the Electric FTC Control Module (ECM).
The transmission Oil Temperature sensor is internal to the Transmission Control Module (FTC).
The 5 PWM solenoids (Y3/7y1, Y3/7y2, Y3/7y3, Y3/7y4, Y3/7y5) are connected to the FTC via an
electrical conductor track and can be removed separately. A round 5 pin connector (1) with a bayonet
lock on the ECM allows the FTC to communicate with other vehicle control modules via the Control
Area Network (CAN). The entire assembly is located on the Shift Valve Housing (2) (valve body).

Torque Converter Lockup Function


The Torque Converter Lockup Clutch is programmed to operate in a completely open or preset
slip rate. This is accomplished hydraulically by the Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) PWM solenoid
valve KUB (Y3/7y4) (lockup) and continuously adapting to driving conditions by the transmission
controller (FTC).
The (TCC) PWM Solenoid valve KUB (Y3/7y4) (lockup) directs oil pressure through the Input
Shaft (10) supported by the Stator Shaft (11) to the Piston (7) apply chamber (behind piston)
compressing the Clutch Plate Set (3) (multiplate).
The Clutch Plate Set (3) consists of an External (2) and Internal (4) toothed Clutch Discs. The
External toothed Clutch Disc (2) is connected to the Impeller (8) and Cover (6) assembly. The Internal
toothed Clutch Disc (4) is connected to the Turbine (1). Connecting direct engine torque to the
transmission between the Impeller (8) and the Turbine (1).
The Torsional Damper (5) is designed to cushion any engine or transmission vibrations that may
occur.

Torque Converter continued....................
Torque Converter Lockup Clutch Hydraulic Control
The TCC PWM solenoid KUB (y3/7y4) (lockup) “Rising Characteristics” is provided with
Supply Pressure (p-VD) (regulated line pressure) from the Supply Pressure Regulating Valve (RS-VD)
(pressure regulator valve). The TCC solenoid then regulates the oil pressure (p-S/KUB) to the Lockup
Clutch Regulator valve (RS-KUB) (TCC regulator valve) moving the valve to a lower or higher pressure
position. The TCC regulator valve (RS-KUB) controls the supplied Working Pressure (p-A) (line) to the
Lockup Clutch (KUB) assembly apply piston with regulated oil (p/KUB).
When the TCC regulating valve (RS-KUB) is in the lowering position, Lube Oil (C) passes
through the Torque Converter and the Transmission Oil Cooler (1) to the transmission the Lockup Clutch
is released (un-pressurized). With the TCC Regulating valve (RS-KUB) in the variable position
(regulating) the Torque Converter clutch is being applied (pressurized) in a slipping mode. Some Lube
Oil (p-Sm) is directed through the RS-KUB Annular Orifice Passage (b) past the Torque Converter going
directly to the Oil Cooler (1) then into the transmission. The remainder of the Lube Oil (p-Sm) is
transferred through Orifice (a) into the Torque Converter as clutch cooling oil and release pressure. This
is directly proportional, higher amperage higher solenoid pressure.
The Lockup command by the FTC Module is capable of being applied in any forward gear and
inhibited in reverse.

A) (line) to increase K3 Clutch Pressure (p-K3) by increasing Valve Pressure (p-V3) moving the
Regulating Valve (RS 3) to the pressure position (left). This is directly proportional, higher amperage
higher solenoid pressure.
The Regulating Valve (RS 25R) is moved to the left by increasing Valve Pressure (p-V25R) to
maximum from PWM Solenoid Valve 2/5/R (Y3/7y3) “Rising Characteristics”. Supply Pressure (p-
VD) on the left side of the Regulating Valve (RS 25R) is overcome by the size difference between the
valve piston surface areas. With the Regulating Valve (RS 25R) moved to the left Clutch Pressure (p-K2)
is completely exhausted from the 2nd Gear Clutch (K2) through the Selector Valve (1) and Regulating
Valve (RS 25R) to sump.

Shift Phase 3rd To 4th
The Shift Phase begins by deactivating the PWM Solenoid Valve Shift (Y3/7y5) “Falling
Characteristics” modulated off. This supplies the Shift Valve (SS 14) with maximum Valve Pressure (p-
SV) moving the valve towards the pressure position (right). This is inversely proportional, lower
amperage higher solenoid pressure.
In a specific amount of time controlled by the FTC (Y3/7n2) the PWM Solenoid Valve 1/4
(Y3/7y1) “Rising Characteristics” is energized in modulation. This supplies the Regulating Valve (RS
14) with Valve Pressure (p-V14) moving the valve to the regulating position (left). This is directly
proportional, higher amperage higher solenoid pressure. The 4th Gear Clutch (K4) is applied with Clutch
Pressure (p-K4) through the Regulating Valve RS 14 which is regulated Working Pressure (p-A) from
the Selector Valve (1).
When the specified amount of Clutch Pressure (p-K4) determined by the FTC Module (Y3/7n2)
has reached the 4th Gear Clutch (K4) the PWM Solenoid Valve 3 (Y3/7y2) “Rising Characteristics” is
turned off (de-energized) in modulation. The Regulating Valve (RS 3) is moved to the basic position by
spring tension (right) and Clutch Pressure (p-K3) is exhausted through the Regulating Valve (RS 3) to
the sump. The 3rd Gear Clutch (K3) is completely exhausted and the 4th Gear Clutch (K4) is fully
applied when the 4th Gear Clutch is capable of handling the torque.

Shift Phase 4th To 5th
The Shift Phase begins by deactivating the PWM Solenoid Valve 2/5/R (Y3/7y3) “Rising
Characteristics” modulated off. This is directly proportional, lower amperage higher solenoid pressure.
This lowers Valve Pressure (p-V25R) allowing Supply Pressure (p-VD) and spring tension to stroke the
Regulating Valve (RS 25R) towards the regulating position (right). The Clutch Pressure (p-K5) supplied
by the Regulating Valve RS 14 is created with regulated Working Pressure (p-A) transferred through the
Selector Valve (1) in the “D” Drive position.
The PWM Solenoid Valve Shift (Y3/7y5) “Falling Characteristics” remains deactivated. This
keeps both Shift Valves (SS 14 & SS 25) stroked in the pressure position. This is inversely proportional,
lower amperage higher solenoid pressure.
When the specified amount of Clutch Pressure (p-K5) determined by the FTC Module (Y3/7n2)
has reached the 5th Gear Clutch (K5) the PWM Solenoid Valve 1/4 (Y3/7y1) “Rising Characteristics”
is turned off (de-energized) in modulation. The Regulating Valve (RS 14) is moved to the basic position
by spring tension (right) and Clutch Pressure (p-K4) is exhausted through the Shift Valve (SS 14) and

With the Selector Valve (1) in the “D” Drive Position, K5 Clutch Pressure (p-K5) is directed to
the 5th Gear Clutch (K5) through Shift Valve (SS 25) in the pressure position (left). K5 Clutch Pressure
(p-K5) is produced from Working Pressure (p-A) at the Regulating Valve (RS 25R) fed through Selector
Valve (1).
The PWM Solenoid Valve 2/5/R (Y3/7y3) regulates Clutch Pressure (p-K5) “Rising
Characteristics” by lowering Valve Pressure (p-V25R). This is directly proportional, higher amperage
higher solenoid pressure. Supply Pressure (p-VD) moves the Regulating Valve (RS 25R) to the
regulating position (right). Some K5 Clutch Pressure (p-K5) is directed to the right side of the
Regulating Valve (RS 25R) as balance oil pressure.
The PWM Solenoid Valve Shift (Y3/7y5) “Falling Characteristics” is modulated off (de-
energized). This is inversely proportional, lower amperage higher solenoid pressure. Valve Pressure (p-
SV) moves Shift Valve (SS 25) to the pressure position (left) allowing Clutch Pressure (p-K5) to apply
the 5th Gear Clutch (K5). The Valve Pressure (p-SV) also moves Shift Valve (SS 14) to the pressure
position (right). This allows Clutch Pressure (p-K4) to exhaust through Shift Valve (SS 14) to the
Regulating Valve (RS 14).
The PWM Solenoid Valve 1/4 (Y3/7y1) “Rising Characteristics” is deactivated which allows
the Regulating Valve (RS 14) to move to the basic position (right) by spring tension. The Clutch
Pressure (p-K4) from Shift Valve (SS 14) can now exhaust to sump.
