Power HONDA CR-V 1999 RD1-RD3 / 1.G Repair Manual

Ascending Control {37 Modol}
When the PCM determines that the vehicle is climbing a hill in E] and E positions, the system extends the engagement
area of 2nd g€ar and 3rd gear to prevent the transmission from frequently shifting between 2nd and 3rd gears, and
between 3rd and 4th gears, so the vehicle can run smooth and have more power when needed.
NOTE:
. Shift schedules stored in ths PCM between 2nd and 3rd gears, and between 3rd and 4th gears. enable the PCM's fuzzy
logic to automatically select the most suitable gear according to the magnitude of 8 gradient.
t Fuzzy logic is a form of artificial intslligence that lets computers respond to changing conditions much like a human
mind would.

When the PCM determines that the vohicle is climbing a hill in E] and E positions ('98 model), and in E] position ('99 -
00 models), the system extends the engagement srea of 2nd gear and 3rd gear to prevent the transmission from frequent-
ly shifting between 2nd and 3rd gears, and between 3rd and 4th gears, so the vehicle can run smooth and have more
power when needed.
NOTE: Shift schedulss stored in the PCM between 2nd and 3rd gears, and between 3rd and 4th gears, enable to selsct the

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.

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.

Lock-up Clutch
L Ooeration (clutch on)
With the lock-up clutch on, the fluid in the chamber between the torque convener cover and the lock-uD oiston is drainedoff, and the converter fluid exerts pressure through the piston against the torque converter cover, As a result, the conven-er turbine is locked to the converter cover. This bipasses the converter, placing the vehicle in direct drive.
