D Position, at high speed range

Vehicle speed is further increased, the TCM controls the CVT driven pulley pressure control valve and the CVT drive pulley pressure control valve to apply hydraulic pressure to the drive pulley high and to the driven pulley low. The drive pulley receives high pressure and the driven pulley receives low. The drive pulley provides the steel belt to large-diameter contact and the driven pulley provides to small-diameter contact, and the pulley ratio is in high. Hydraulic pressure remains to apply to the start and forward clutches.
