Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
D Position: Driving in 2nd gear
The PCM turns shift solenoid valve B OFF, shift solenoid valve A remains ON, and shift solenoid valve C remains OFF. Shift solenoid valve B pressure (SB) in the right end of shift valve B and in the left end of the servo control valve is released. Cut valve B and the servo control valve are kept in the right side by line pressure (4) even though hydraulic pressure in the left end is released. Shift valve B is moved to the right side to switch the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve B pressure (5F) port to the line pressure (5D) port leading to the 2nd clutch. The 2nd clutch pressure (20) is applied to the 2nd clutch, and the 2nd clutch is engaged by the line pressure mode.
- When used, "left" or "right" indicates direction on the hydraulic circuit.
- The illustration shows the seven-position transmission; the five-position transmission: manual-valve-position differs from the seven-position transmission.
