Fluid HONDA CR-V 2000 RD1-RD3 / 1.G Owner's Manual

Regulator Valve
The regulator valve maintains constant hydraulic pressure from the ATF pump to the hydraullc control system, while also
furnishing fluid to the lubricating system and torque converter. Fluid from the ATF pump flows through B and B'. Fluid
entering from B flows through the valve orifice to the A cavity. This pressure of the A cavity pushes the regulator valve to
the right side. and this movement of the regulator valve uncovers the fluid port to the torque converter and the relief
valve. The fluid flows out to the torque converter and the relief valve, and the regulator valve moves to the left side.
According to the level of the hydraulic pressure through B, the position of the regulator valve changes and the amount of
fluid from B,through the torque converter also changes. This operation is continued, maintaining the line pressure.

STATOR SHAFT ABM
Stator Reaction Hydraulic Pressurs Control
Increases in hydraulic pressure according to torque are performed by the regulator valve using stator torque reaction. The
stator shaft is splined to the stator in the torque converter, and its arm end contacts the regulator spring cap When the
vehicle is accelerating or climbing (Torque Converter Range), stator torque reaction acts on the stator shaft, and the stator
arm pushes the regulator spring cap in the direction of the arrow in proportion to the reaction. The stator reaction spring
compresses, and the regulator valve moves to increase the line pressure. Line pressure reaches its maximum when the
stator torque reaction reaches its maximum.

lll Position
As the engine turns, the ATF pump starts to operate. Automatic transmission fluid (ATF) is drawn from (99) and dis-charged into (1). Then, ATF flowing from the ATF pump becomes line pressure ('l). Line pressure (1) js regulated by theregulator valve. Torque converter inlet pressure {92) enters (94) of the torque conveTter through the lock-up shift valve anddischarges into (90) The torque converter check valve prevents torque converter pressure from rising. Under this condi-tion, hydraulic pressure is not applied to the clutches.

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 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.

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.
