TCM and Shift ActuatorsDPS6Transmission Control Module (TCM)The TCM is an assembly of an electronic module, sensors, and electrical actuators. It combines a control module and two electric motors for gear shifting. The primary function of the TCM is to collect incoming data signals, perform the interpretation of incoming data signals, communicate with the periphery and connect the electrical and mechanical contact to the signal transmitter and actuating elements. Vehicle and transmission interface is achieved via two connectors; vehicle and transmission connector. The transmission connector plug is located at the TCM and is the electrical connection between the TCM and the clutch actuators and the sensors. The vehicle connector is located at the TCM and is the electrical connection between TCM and thevehicle. The TCM is a programmable module.

Shift MotorsTwo electric motors are used to shift the gears in the transaxle, one motor for gears 1-3-5 and one motor for gears R-2-4-6. The gear shifting is made by two shift drums connected to shift motor pinion via two idler gears. The max shifting force is 337 ft-lb. The motors are integrated in the TCM and work independently of each other.
