1996 HONDA CIVIC inhibitor

E] position, when the elestronic Gontrol system is faulty'
The flow of tluid up to the drive pulley, the driven pulley' and the start clutch is the same as in El position
The manual valve is shifted into the lE position' and it uncovers the port that leads reverse brake pressure {RVS} to the
reverse inhibitor valve. Reverse ,"nlu-i,"ip*r""i" (Rl) is applied to.the right end of the reverse inhibitor valve because of
afaultyinhibitorsolenoid.The'"t'",""inftiUito'valvemovestotheleftside'anduncoverstheportthatleadsreverse
brake pressure {RVS) to the ,"u"r." ir"t"- cru,ch reducing pressure (cR) becomes reverse brake pressure (RVS) at the
manual valve, and,lows to the ,e
"rs" lr"re. ttre reverse brake is engaged and locks the ring gear' This allows the vehi-
cle to drive in reverse.
