Valve name Function
Shift valve A Simultaneously switches three oil circuits using output pressure of shift solenoid valve
A to meet driving conditions (vehicle speed, throttle opening, etc.).
Provides automatic downshifting and up-shifting (1st,2nd,3rd,4th gears/4th
,3rd,2nd,1st gears) in combination with shift valve B.
Shift valve B Simultaneously switches three oil circuits using output pressure of shift solenoid valve
B in relation to driving conditions (vehicle speed, throttle opening, etc.).
Provides automatic downshifting and up-shifting (1st,2nd,3rd,4th gears/4th
,3rd,2nd,1st gears) in combination with shift valve A.
Shuttle shift valve S Switches hydraulic circuits to provide 3-2 timing control and overrun clutch control in
relation to the throttle opening.
Inactivates the overrun clutch to prevent interlocking in 4th gear when the throttle is
wide open.
Overrun clutch control valve Switches hydraulic circuits to prevent engagement of the overrun clutch simulta-
neously with application of the brake band in 4th gear. (Interlocking occurs if the
overrun clutch engages during D
4gear operation.)
4-2 relay valve Memorizes that the transmission is in 4th gear. Prevents the transmission from down-
shifting from 4th gear to 3rd and then to 2nd in combination with 4-2 sequence valve
and shift valves A and B when downshifting from 4th to 2nd gear.
4-2 sequence valve Prevents band servo pressure from draining before high clutch operating pressure
and band servo releasing pressure drain (from the same circuit) during downshifting
from 4th to 2nd gear.
Servo charger valve An accumulator and a one-way orifice are used in the 2nd gear band servo oil circuit
to dampen shifting shock when shifting from 1st to 2nd gear.
To maintain adequate flow rate when downshifting from 4th or 3rd gear to 2nd gear,
the servo charger valve directs 2nd gear band servo hydraulic pressure to the circuit
without going through the one-way orifice when downshifting from 3rd or a higher
gear.
3-2 timing valve Prevents a late operation of the brake band when shifting selector lever from ªDº to
ª1º or ª2º position while driving in D
3.
ª1º reducing valve Reduces low & reverse brake pressure to dampen engine-brake shock when down-
shifting from the ª1º position 2nd gear to 1st gear.
Overrun clutch reducing valve Reduces oil pressure directed to the overrun clutch and prevents engine-brake shock.
In ª1º and ª2º positions, line pressure acts on the overrun clutch reducing valve to
increase the pressure-regulating point, with resultant engine brake capability.
Torque converter relief valve Prevents an excessive rise in torque converter pressure.
Torque converter clutch control valve,
torque converter clutch control plug and
torque converter clutch control sleeveActivate or inactivate the lock-up function.
Also provide smooth lock-up through transient application and release of the lock-up
system.
Shuttle shift valve D Switches hydraulic circuits so that output pressure of the torque converter clutch sole-
noid valve acts on the lock-up valve in the ªDº position of 2nd, 3rd and 4th gears. (In
the ªDº position 1st gear, lock-up is inhibited.)
ILock-up control is not affected in ªDº position 2nd, 3rd or 4th gears, unless output
pressure of the torque converter clutch solenoid valve is generated by a signal
from the control unit.

JUDGEMENT OF STALL TESTNBAT0022S02The test result and possible damaged components relating to each
result are shown in the illustration. In order to pinpoint the possible
damaged components, refer to ªWork Flowº, AT-57.
NOTE:
Stall revolution is too high in ªDº or ª2º position:
ISlippage occurs in 1st gear but not in 2nd and 3rd gears. .....
Low one-way clutch slippage
ISlippage occurs at the following gears:
1st through 3rd gears in ªDº position and engine brake func-
tions.
1st and 2nd gears in ª2º position and engine brake functions
with accelerator pedal released (fully closed throttle). ..... For-
ward clutch or forward one-way clutch slippage
Stall revolution is too high in ªRº position:
IEngine brake does not function in ª1º position. ..... Low &
reverse brake slippage
IEngine brake functions in ª1º position. ..... Reverse clutch slip-
page
Stall revolution within specifications:
IVehicle does not achieve speed of more than 80 km/h (50
MPH). ..... One-way clutch seizure in torque converter housing
CAUTION:
Be careful since automatic fluid temperature increases abnor-
mally.
ISlippage occurs in 3rd and 4th gears in ªDº position. ..... High
clutch slippage
ISlippage occurs in 2nd and 4th gear in ªDº position. ..... Brake
band slippage
Stall revolution less than specifications:
