Introduction

The 09D 6-speed automatic transmission

was developed at the famous Japanese manufacturer of automatic transmissions, AISIN Co., LTD,
where it is manufactured.
In the development of the control unit software, the years of experience that Volkswagen
engineers have had with fuzzy logic-controlled driving programmes that depend on driving
situations and hindrances has been a determining factor.
This 6-speed automatic transmission, which has a very compact construction, is being
used for the first time in the Volkswagen Touareg.

How it works

transmission, thus blocking the selector lever.

Torque converter with converter


bypass coupling and ATF pump
The hydromechanical torque converter serves as
a starting element and increases the torque in
the transforming area.

It is equipped with a converter bypass coupling.


Starting at an engine speed of 1000 rpm, the
control unit for the automatic gearbox can close
this coupling.
This transfers the engine torque directly to the 300_022a

The control unit for the automatic gearbox Solenoid valve N91
controls the solenoid valve N91. The solenoid
valve opens or closes the converter bypass
coupling depending on the engine's speed and
torque.

If the converter bypass coupling is to be closed,


the solenoid valve opens the oil reservoir 300_034
upstream of the converter bypass coupling. As a
result, the oil pressure in this reservoir decreases;
the oil pressure downstream of the converter
bypass coupling closes the converter bypass ”Open”
coupling.
Solenoid valve N91

When the solenoid valve N91 closes the oil flow


again, the pressure upstream of the converter
bypass coupling builds up again and the
converter bypass coupling opens.

Design of gearbox

The multi-disc couplings

drive the two sun wheels and the planetary


carriers of the dual planetary gear set when
they are closed.
Depending on the gear to be switched, they are
placed under ATF pressure by the control unit for
the automatic gearbox via a solenoid valve in
the control valve assembly; this closes them. 300_022e
Each multi-disc coupling is supplied with
ATF pressure by another solenoid valve.
The number of installed disc pairs per coupling
varies with the maximum torque that can be

Design of gearbox

Emergency run
Manual slider
After certain components fail, normal operation
of the automatic gearbox is no longer possible.
In this case, the automatic gearbox can be
operated only in emergency run.
In emergency run, the converter bypass coupling
is no longer closed and the gearbox is in
3rd gear in all forwards driving stages.
When the selector lever is switched to the ”R”
position, the manual slider is shifted, thus
applying the Reverse gear.

The emergency run mode is indicated by a


different display in the dash panel insert.

The ”Effects of signal drop-out” section in the 300_075


Sensors and Actuators chapter describes which
components must fail to lead to emergency run.

The gearbox input speed sender G182

is located within the gearbox.


It is inserted in the housing of the ATF pump and
uses a ring gear on the turbine shaft to determine
the gearbox input speed.

It works according to the Hall principle.


Within the sender, there is an IC switch which
activates the Hall sender.

Signal utilisation

The control unit for the automatic gearbox uses


the signal to detect the difference between the
engine speed and the gearbox input speed.

The gearbox oil temperature sender G93

is located in the control valve assembly within


the ATF.
It checks the ATF temperature and reports this to
the control unit for the automatic gearbox.

It is an NTC resistor (NTC - negative temperature


coefficient), i.e. the electrical resistance of the
sender drops with increasing temperature.

Sensors

The sender 1 G193 and sender 2 G194


for hydraulic pressure

have the same design and are located in the


control valve assembly.
They monitor the ATF pressure behind the safety
slides in the control valve assembly.
This prevents couplings that do not correspond to
the switch programme from closing.
As a result, blocking of the gearbox is hindered.

The switch for Tiptronic F189 Selector lever covering

the plate.

A ferromagnetic ”contact maker” is attached to


each blind of the selector lever.
The combination of the contact maker on blind 2
and the three Hall sensors on the plate form the Hall sensor ”Contact maker”

When the blinds are moved, the contact makers
