D and D3 Positions: Shifting between 2nd gear and 3rd gear
As the speed of the vehicle reaches the programmed value, the PCM turns shift solenoid valve C ON, and shift solenoid valve C covers the port of the shift solenoid valve C pressure (SC) to shift valve C. Shift solenoid valves A and B remain ON. Shift valve C is moved to the left side to switch the port of line pressure (4) and the CPC A pressure (4A) leading to the 2nd clutch. Shift valve C also uncovers the port of the CPC B pressure (4B) leading to the 3rd clutch. PCM controls A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valves A and B. The A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve A pressure (56) is applied to CPC valve A, and the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve B pressure (57) is applied to CPC valve B. CPC valve B regulates line pressure (4"), and line pressure (4") becomes the CPC B pressure (4B).

The 2nd clutch pressure (20) is changed to CPC pressure mode, and the 3rd clutch is engaged with the CPC pressure mode. The 1st clutch is also engaged, but no power is transmitted because of the one-way clutch.

Lock-up System
The lock-up mechanism of the torque converter clutch operates in the D position (2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th), and D3 position (2nd and 3rd). The pressurized fluid is drained from the back of the torque converter through a fluid passage, causing the torque converter clutch piston to be held against the torque converter cover. As this takes place, the mainshaft rotates at the same speed as the engine crankshaft. Together with the hydraulic control, the PCM optimizes the timing and amount of the lock-up mechanism. When shift solenoid valve D is turned on by the PCM, shift solenoid valve D pressure switches the lock-up shift valve lock-up on and off. A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve C, the lock-up control valve, and lock-up timing valve control the amount of lock-up.

Torque Converter Clutch Lock-up ON (Engaging Torque Converter Clutch)
Fluid in the chamber between the torque converter cover and the torque converter clutch piston is drained off, and fluid entering from the chamber between the pump and stator exerts pressure through the torque converter clutch piston against the torque converter cover. The torque converter clutch piston engages with the torque converter cover; the torque converter clutch lock-up ON, and the mainshaft rotates at the same as the engine.





Torque Converter Clutch Lock-up OFF (Disengaging Torque Converter Clutch)
Fluid entered from the chamber between the torque converter cover and the torque converter clutch piston passes through the torque converter and goes out from the chambers between the turbine and, the stator, and between the pump and the stator. As a result, the torque converter clutch piston moves away from the torque converter cover, and the torque converter clutch lock-up is released; torque converter clutch lock-up OFF.





No Lock-up
The PCM commands shift solenoid valve D to remain OFF, and shift solenoid valve D covers the port of the shift solenoid valve D pressure (SD) to the lock-up shift valve. The lock-up shift valve is in the right side, and uncovers the port leading the torque converter pressure (92) to the left side of the torque converter. The torque converter pressure (92) from regulator valve becomes the torque converter pressure (94) at the lock-up shift valve, and enters into the left side of the torque converter to disengage the torque converter clutch. The torque, converter clutch is OFF.

NOTE: When used, "left" or "right" indicates direction on the hydraulic circuit.





Partial Lock-up
As the speed of the vehicle reaches the programmed value, the PCM turns shift solenoid valve D ON, and shift solenoid valve D uncovers the port of the shift solenoid valve D pressure (SD) to the lock-up shift valve. The lock-up shift valve is moved to the left side to uncover the port of the torque converter pressure (91) leading to the right side of the torque converter to engage the torque converter clutch. The PCM also controls A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve C, and the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve C pressure (58) is applied to the lock-up control valve and lock-up timing valve. When the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve C pressure (58) is lower, the torque converter pressure (91) from the lock-up timing valve is lower. The torque converter clutch is engaged partially. The A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve C pressure (58) increases, and the lock-up timing valve is moved to the left side to uncover the port leading the torque converter pressure to high. Under this condition, the torque converter clutch is engaged by pressure from the right side of the torque converter; this condition is partial lock-up.

NOTE: When used, "left" or "right" indicates direction on the hydraulic circuit.





Full Lock-up
When the vehicle speed further increases, the PCM controls A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve C to increase the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve C pressure (58). The A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve C pressure (58) is applied to the lock-up control valve and lock-up timing valve, and the lock-up control valve and lock-up timing valve are moved to the left side. The torque converter pressure (94) from the left side of the torque converter releases at the lock-up control valve, and lock-up timing valve uncovers the port of the torque converter pressure (91) leading to the right side of the torque converter. The torque converter back pressure is released fully, and the torque converter clutch is engaged fully.
