Transmissions: Automatic Transmissions: Electronic control transmission

Electronic control	In an electronically controlled transmission, the speed of the vehicle and the throttle opening are sensed by the vehicle speed sensor, and the throttle position sensor.
Fully hydraulically controlled transmission	In an electronically controlled transmission, the ECU can store different driving patterns which can be selected by the driver to suit the existing driving conditions.
Electronic shift programs	In adaptive transmissions, driving style can be identified by characteristic accelerator pedal movement patterns.
Environment identification	Identification of environment means identifying unusual ambient conditions in which the vehicle is operating.
Driving situation identification	Driving situation identification allows special gear selection for unusual driving situations.
Fast-off identification	The driver's intention to brake can often be detected by the rapid and complete release of the accelerator pedal, and an unnecessary upshift in gear ratio can be prevented.
Corner identification	The radius of a curve can be identified by comparing the differences in the rotating speed of the inner and outer front wheels when the vehicle is not travelling in a straight line.
Downhill gradient	Identifying a downhill gradient prevents any further upshifts occurring. In addition a single downshift is made when the brakes are applied.
Stop & go	In dense traffic, only a small proportion of the vehicle's performance is needed to keep it moving and first gear may not be engaged.
Manual selection	A chosen gear ratio can be selected manually by using the selector lever in manual mode.
