Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Ordinary Control
The torque input to the multi-plate clutch is calculated according to various factors such as intake manifold pressure, torque converter turbine speed and selected speed gear. Based on the calculation result, the basic coupling force of the clutch is determined.
The basic coupling force thus obtained is then corrected according to the road slipperiness (which is determined based on steering angle, yaw rate, lateral G signals from the VDC control module) and the feedback correction factor which is used for making the actual yaw rate agree with the yaw rate estimated from the steering angle sensor signals.

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
