As the speed of the vehicle reaches the prescribed value. shift control solenoid valve B is turned OFF by the PCM.
Shift control solenoid valve A remains ON. Modulator pressure (6) flows to the right end of the 1-2 shift valve and the
left end of the 2-3 shift valve. The 2-3 shift valve is moved to the right side by modulator pressure (68) The 2-3 shift
valve covers the port to stop line prsssure (5) to the 2nd clutch. and uncovers the 3-4 shift valve as the 2-3 shift valve
is moved to the right side, Line pressure (5) becomes 3rd clutch pressure (30) at the 3-4 shift valve. The 3rd clutch
pressure (30) is applied to the 3rd clutch, and the 3rd clutch is engaged.
Fluid flows by way of:- Line pressure (4) - CPB Valve - Line Pressure (5) * 1-2 Shift Vaiv€ - Line Pressure (5) * 2-3 Shift Valve
- Line Pressure (5) * 3-4 Shift Valve - 3rd Clutch Pressure (30) * 3rd Clutch
The hvdraulic Dressure also flows to the 1st clutch. However, no power is trsnsmitted because of the one-way clutch.

4th Gear llQ! or E Posirion)
As the speed of the vehicle reaches the prescribed value. shift control solenoid valve A is turned OFF by the pCM,
Shift control solenoid valve B remains OFF. Modulator pressure (6) flows to the left end of the 1-2 shift valve and theleft end of the 3-4 shift valve. Modulator pressure (64) in the left end of the 1-2 shift valve equals modulator pressure(68) in the right end of the 1-2 shift valve. The 1-2 shift valve remains at left side by the tension of the valve spring.The 3-4 shift valve is moved to the right side by modulator pressure (6A). The 3-4 shift valve covers the pon to the 3rdclutch and uncovers the port to the 4th clutch as this valve is moved to the right side, The 4th clutch pressure (41)from the 3-4 shift valve becomes 4th clutch pressure (40) at the manual valve. The 4th clutch pressure (40) is appliedto the 4th clutch, and the 4th clutch is engaged.
Fluid flows by way of:- Line pressure (4) + CPB Valve - Line Pressure (5) + l-2 Shift Valve - Line Pressure {5) * 2-3 Shift Valve- Line Pressure (5) + 3-4 Shift Valve - 4th Clutch Pressure (41) + Manual Valve - 4th Clutch Pressure (40)+ 4th Clutch
The hydraulic pressure also flows to the lst clutch. However, no power is transmitted because of the one-wav clutch.

E Position
Fluid flow through the torque converter circuit is the same as in N position. Line pressure (1) changes to line pressure (3)
and flows to the 1-2 shift valve. Line pressure (3) changes to line pressure (3') at the 1-2 shift valve and flows to the servo
vaive. The servo valve is moved to the right side (Reverse range position) and uncovers the port to allow line pressure (3")
to the manual valve. Line pressure (3') from the 1-2 shift valve flows through the servo valve to the manual valve and
changes to 4th clutch pressure (40). The 4th clutch pressure (40) is applied to the 4th clutch, and the 4th clutch is engaged.
R€verse Inhibitor Control
When the @ position is selected while the vehicle is moving forward at speeds over 6 mph (10 km/h), the PCM outputs the
1st speed signal to shift control solenoid valves A and B; shift control solenoid valve A is turned OFF, shift control solenoid
valve B is turned ON. The 1-2 shift valve is moved to the right side and covers the port to stop line pressure (3') to the
servo valve. Line pressure {3') is not applied to the servo valve, and 4th clutch pressure (40} is not applied to the 4th
clutch, as a result, power is not transmitted to the reverse direction.
NOTE:
. When used, "lelt" ot " right" indicates direction on the hydraulic circuit.
. The hvdraulic circuit shows the '97 - 98 models (7 positions); the '99 - 00 models (6 positions) is similar'

Lock-up System
TOROUE CONVERTER
In E position ('97 - 98 models) and in E position ('99 -
OO models) (3rd and 4th), and E position ('97 - 98 mod-
els) and in E position with Over-Drive (O/D) is OFF (by
pressing the O/D switch) ('99 - 00 models) (3rd), pressur-
ized fluid is drained from the back of the torque convert-
er through a fluid passage, causing the lock-up piston to
be held against the torque converter cover, As this takes
Dlace, the mainshaft rotates at the same speed as th8
engine crankshaft. Together with the hydraulic control,
the PCM optimizes the timing of the lock-up system.
Under certain condltions. the lock-up clutch is appli€d
during deceleration, in 3rd and 4th gear.
The lock-up system controls the range of lock-up sccord-
ing to lock-up control solenoid valves A and B, and ths
linear solenoid. When lock-up control solenoid valves A
and B activate. modulator pressure changes. Lock-up
control solenoid valves A and B are mounted on the out-
side of the torque converter housing, and the linear
solenoid is mounted on the transmission housing. They
are controlled bv the PCM.
The table below shows the lock-up conditions for lock-up
control solenoid valves and linear solenoid pressure.

No Lock-up
. Lock-up Control Solenoid Valve A: OFF
. Lock-up Control Solenoid Valve B: OFF
. Linear Solenoid Pressure: High
The pressurized fluid regulated by the modulator works
on both ends of the lock-up shift valve. Under this condi-
tion, the pressures working on both ends of the lock-up
shift valve are equal. and the lock-up shift valve is
moved to the right side by the tension of the valve
spring. Fluid trom the ATF pump will flow through the
left side of the lock-up clutch to the torque converter; the
lock-up clutch is OFF.

. Lock-up Control Solenoid Valve A: ON
. Lock-up Control Solenoid Valve B: ON
. Linear Solenoid Pressure: High
When the vehicle speed further increases, linear
solenoid pressure increases to high in accordance with
the linear solenoid which is controlled by the PCM.
The lock up timing valve overcomes the spring force
and moves to the left side. Also, this valve closes the
fluid port leading to the left side of the lock-up control
valve.
Under this condition, modulator pressure in the left side
of the lock-up control valve had already been released
by the lock-up control solenoid valve B; the lock-up con-
trol valve is moved to the left side. As this takes place,
torque converter back pressure is released fully, causing
the lock-up clutch to be engaged fully.
NOTE: When used. "left" and "right" indicates direction
on the hydraulic circuit.
