•

The FN4A-EL type automatic transaxle is used.

•

The construction and operation of the FN4A-EL type automatic transaxle of the New Mazda6 (GG) is 
essentially carried over from that of the current PREMACY (CP) .

OUTLINE OF OPERATION

A6E561401030T03

•

The operation of the electronic automatic transaxle is classified into three systems: the electronic control 
mechanism, the hydraulic pressure control mechanism, and the powertrain mechanism (includes the torque 
converter mechanism). The operation of each system is as follows:
— Electronic control mechanism

•

According to the signals from the switches and sensors in the input system, the PCM outputs the signal 
which matches the present driving condition to the linear type solenoid, ON/OFF type solenoids and the 
duty-cycle type solenoids in the hydraulic pressure control mechanism.

— Hydraulic pressure control mechanism

•

According to the signals from the PCM, each solenoid operates to switch the hydraulic passages in the 
control valve body and controls the clutch engagement pressure.

•

The line pressure is adjusted by the linear type pressure control solenoid. The hydraulic passages are 
switched by the ON/OFF type solenoids (shift solenoids D and E.) And the clutch engagement pressure 
is controlled by the duty-cycle type solenoids (shift solenoids A, B, and C).

— Powertrain mechanism

•

The driving force from the engine is transmitted through the torque converter to the transaxle.

•

The transmitted driving force operates each clutch and brake according to the clutch engagement 
pressure from the duty-cycle type solenoid, and the planetary gears change the gear ratio to the 
optimal driving force. The changed driving force is transmitted through the differential to the axle shaft 
and then the tires.
