Line pressure (1) regulated by the regulator valve flows to shift solenoid valves. The PCM controls the shift solenoid valves ON and OFF. The conditions of the shift solenoid valves and the positions of the shift valves are as follows:
- Shift solenoid valve A is OFF, and closes the port of shift solenoid valve A pressure (SA); shift valve A stays on the left side.
- Shift solenoid valve B is turned ON, and closes the port of shift solenoid valve B pressure (SB); shift valve B and shift valve E stay on the left side.
- Shift solenoid valve C is OFF, and opens the port of shift solenoid valve C pressure (SC); shift valve C and shift valve D move to the right side.
- Shift solenoid valve D is OFF, and closes the port of shift solenoid valve D pressure (SD).
Line pressure (1) also flows to the modulator valve and becomes modulator pressure (6). Modulator pressure (6) flows to the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valves. The manual valve covers the port leading pressure to the clutches, and hydraulic pressure is not applied to the clutches.
NOTE:
When used, "left" or "right" indicates direction on the hydraulic circuit.
