The Volvo S80 Transmission Control Module takes control of all automatic gear changes, which provides the sedan with smooth acceleration that preserves fuel economy. The module, which is mounted on the network of electronic control units, continuously reads data from wheel speed sensors and the Volvo engine computer, and immediately chooses the optimum shift point to supply power or thrift. This Transmission Control Module contains proprietary Volvo code as well, to adjust the engine torque to the gear selection to pass confidently and cruise freely. Through thousands of calculations per minute, it also coordinates the clutch action and lockup of the torque converter so that the driver experiences smooth shifts and not jerks. The model had two general iterations in terms of lifespan. The early cars were based on a system of electronic automatic control, with the primary role of the module being to control the timing of hydraulic valves that actuate the internal clutches in the transmission. Subsequent versions added a semi-automatic mode, which allowed the driver to tap through the ratios without a physical clutch pedal and in that format the same logic unit also drove an electric clutch actuator, halting torque just long enough to allow a clean upshift or downshift. In spite of the different hardware, both versions have one objective, that of achieving a balance in performance, efficiency and quality of shift. The module uses sensor feedback to combine with pre-stored mapping and adjust in real time to the road grade, throttle position and load. In cases of unpleasant shifting, a driver may be able to perform a simple software update at the factory and have the Transmission Control Module return to factory operation, and any S80 would continue sliding like it was meant to whilst still maintaining the Volvo feel.
