Shift Control Mechanism

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Honda Pilot, 2007 Honda Pilot, and 2006 Honda Pilot. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

To shift gears, the PCM controls shift solenoid valves A, B, and C, and automatic transmission (A/T) clutch pressure control solenoid valves A and B, while receiving input signals from various sensors and switches located throughout the vehicle. The shift solenoid valves shift the positions of the shift valves to switch the port to send hydraulic pressure to the clutches. A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valves A and B control CPC valve A and B to shift smoothly between lower gear and higher gear. This pressurize a line to one of the clutches, engaging the clutch and its corresponding gear.
