clutch system HONDA CR-V 1998 RD1-RD3 / 1.G Owner's Guide

Forward Deceleration l2WDl
During forward deceleration, the dual pump system functions in two wheel drive mode.
Because of braking characteristics, the speed of the rear wheels may exceed the speed ol the front wheels during deceler-
ation. lf so, the rear oil pump spins faster than the front oil pump.
Fluid discharged by the rear oil pump is simply drawn in again by the rear pump and recirculated. Because there is no
pressure built up at the clutch piston. the clutch piston does not engage, and the vehicle remains in 2WD (front wheel
drive).
Reverse Start and Acceleration (4WD)
During reverse start and reverse acceleration, the dual pump system can engage four wheel drive.
lf the front wheels spin faster than the rear wheels, the front oil pump spins faster than the rear oil pump. The front oil
pump draws in fluid through check valve A and discharges it. {Note that in reverse, the direction of the pumps is the oppo-
site of that during forward driving.)
Some of the fluid that is discharged by the front oil pump is drawn in by the rear oil pump. The remaining fluid passes
through check valve F into the cylinder of the clutch piston, where it is regulated by two orifices.
The regulated hydraulic pressure at the clutch piston may force the plates and discs of the clutch together to form a con-
nectlon. The engaged clutch passes driving force from the transfer assembly to the rear wheels, producing 4WD.

Description
Hydraulic Flow (cont'dl
Reverse Driving at Constant Speed l2WD)when driving in reverse at a constant speed, the dual pump system functions in two wheel drive mode.The rotation speed of the front and rear wheels is the same, so the speed of the front and rear pumps is also the same,Fluid discharged by the front oil pump is drawn in by the rear oil pump and is circulated through the system. But, becausethe there is a difference in the capacity between the two pumps, fluid flows through check valve E, and then through ori-Iices. This fluid lubricates and cools the clutch assembly and bearings.ls this condition, only a low pressure is built up at the clutch piston. Therefore the clutch does not engage, and the vehicleremains in 2WD (front wheel drive).
Reverse Deceleration l/tWDl
During reverse deceleration, the dual pump system can engage four wheel drive.When decelerating in reverse direction, the speed of the rear wheels may exceed the speed of the front wheels (due toengine braking). In this condition, the rear oil pump draws fluid through check valves B and C. Fluid discharged from therear oil pump then flows through check valve E to the clutch piston. There, pressure is regulated by two orifices.The regulated hydraulic pressure at the clutch piston may force the plates and discs of the clutch together to form a con,nection. The engaged clutch passes driving force from the transfer assembly to the rear wheels, producing 4WD.

Thermal Switch Operation l2WD)
During 4WD operation, pressure-regulated fluid is in contact with the clutch piston and the thermal switch.
lf the temperature of the fluid in the differential goes too high, the thermal switch pushes open the relief valve R. This
causes the pressure in the clutch piston to drop, and 4WD mode is disengaged.
THERMAL SWITCHRELIEF VALVE
Reliet Valve Operation
When the fluid pressure goes higher than the relief valve spring force, check valve R opens. Pressure applied at the clutch
piston is held constant. This feature adds stability by preventing the rear wheel drive system from experiencing excessive
to rque.

Troubleshooting (Manual Transmissionl
When starting and accelerating in forward gears (4WD
mode)
1. Lift up the vehicle so all four wheels are off the
ground {see section 1)
3.
Start the engine, and let it run until it warms up (the
radiator fan comes on at least twlce).
With the engine at idle, shift into 1st gear and
release the clutch.
Apply the parking brake firmlY
. lf the engine stalls, the 4WD system is normal.
. lf the engine continues running, there is a prob-
lem in 4WD system. Check the differential fluid. lf
the differential fluid is normal, replace the torque
control ditferential case kit.

Troubleshooting
Symptom Ghart
For electrical malfunctions which are indicated by the self-diagnostic system, reter to selt-diagnosjs function (see next
page).
Note these items before troubleshooting a symptom.
. Check the engine coolant level, and allow the engine to warm up before troubleshooting.
. Anv abnormality must be corrected before continuing the test.
. Because of the precise measurements needed, use a digital multimeter with an output of 1 mA or less at the 20 kO
range when testing.
. Before performing any troubleshooting procedures check:
- Fuses No. 47 17.5 AJ, No. 55 (40 A), No. 56 (20 A), No. 57 (20 A) in the under-hood fuse/relay box, and No. 17 {7.5 A) in
the under-dash fuse/relay box.._ Grounds No. G101, G201, G202, G401, G4O2
- Cleanliness and tightness of all connectors
