1. The hydraulic pressure is applied to the reverse brake and the start clutch. The sun gear drives the pinion gears, and
the pinion gears revolve around the sun gear. The carrier assembly rotates in the opposite direction from the rotation
direction of the sun gear.
The carrier assembly drives the drive pulley shaft via the forward clutch drum, and the drive pulley shaft drives the
driven pulley shaft linked by the steel belt.
The driven pulley shaft drives the secondary drive gear via the start clutch.
Power is transmitted to the secondary driven gear, which drives the final driven gear.

Description
Electronic Control System ('99 - 00 Modelsl (cont'dl
Grade Logic Control System
How it works:
The PcM compares actual driving conditions with memorized driving conditions. based on the input from the vehiclespeed sensor, the throttle position sensor, the manifold absolute pressure sensor, the engine coolant temperature sensor,the brake switch signal, and the shift lever position signal, to control shifting while the vehicle is ascending or descendinga slope.
Ascending Control
When the PCM determines that the vehicle is climbing a hill in E position, the system selects the most suitable shiftschedule (pulley ratio) according to the magnitude of a gradient. so the vehicle can run smooth and have more powerwhen needed. There are three ascending modes with different shift schedules according to the magnitude ot a gradient inthe PCM.
Descending Control
when the PCM determines that the vehicle is going down a hill in E position. the system selects the most suitable shiftschedule (pulley ratio) according to the magnitude of a gradient. This, in combinstion with engine braking, achievessmooth driving when the vehicle is descending, There are three descending modes with different shift schedules accord-ing to the magnitude of a gradient in the PCM.

Description
Hydraulic Control
The hydraulic control system is controlled by the ATF pump. the valves, and the solenoids. The ATF pump is driven by theinput shaft. The ATF pump and the input shaft are linked by the ATF pump drive chain and the sprockets, The inhibitorsolenoid valve and the linear solenoids. which are located on their valve body, are controlled by the TCM or pcM. Fluidfrom the ATF pump flows through the PH regulator valve to maintain specified pressure to the drive pulley, the driven pul-ley, and the manual valve,
The lower valve body assembly includes the main valve body, the PL regulator valve body, the shift valve body, the startclutch control valve body, and the secondary valve bodv.
Main Valve Eody
The main valve body contains the pH control valve, the rubrication valve, and the pitot regulator valve.
PH Control Valve
The PH control valve supplies PH control pressure (PHCI in accordance with the pH-pL control pressure (HLc), and sup-plies PH control pressure to the PH regulator valve, which also regulatss PH pressure. At kick-down, it increases pHcontrol pressure which increases the high (PH) pressure. This shortens the shift speed by releasing the reverse inhibitorpressure (Rl)from the inhibitor solenoid valve.
Lubrication Valve
The lubrication valve controls the lubrication pressure to each shaft and maintains lubrication pressure. When rne pres-sure is too high, the spring is compressed. This moves the lubrication valve and opens the fluid leak passage.
Pitot Regulalor Valv6
The pitot regulator valve controls the start clutch pressure (SC) in accordance with the engine speed, when the electron-ic control system is faulw.

PL Regulator Valve Body
The PL regulator valve body contains the PL regulator valve and the PH-PL control valve. which is joined wirh the pH-pL
control linear solenoid. The inhibitor solenoid is bolted on the pL regulator valve body.
. PL Regulator Valve
The PL regulator valve supplies low p.essure (pL) to the pulley to eliminate steel belt slippage.The PL pressure is controlled by the pH-pL control pressure (HLC).
. PH-PL Control Valve
The PH-PL control valve controls the PL regulator valve according to engine torque. The PH-PL control valve suooliesPH-PL control pressure (HLC) to the PH control valve to regulate PH pressure higher than pL pressure. The pH-pL con-trol valve is controlled by the PH-PL control linear solenoid. which is controlled by the TcM or pcM,
. Inhibitor Solenoid
The inhibitor solenoid controls the reverse inhibitor valve by turning on and off. Also, the inhibitor solenoad controls pH
control pressure (PHC) by applying reverse inhibitor pressure (Rl) to the PH control valve. The inhibitor solenoid is con-trolled by the TCM or Pclvl.
Start Clutch Control Valv€ Body
The start clutch control valve body contains the start clutch control valve. Both are joined to the stan clutch control linearsolenoid.
. Start Clutch Control Valve
The start clutch control valve controls start clutch engagement according to the throttle opening. The start clutch con,trol valve is controlled by the stan clutch control linear solenoid, which is controlled bv the TCM o. pCM.

Hydraulic Flow (cont'dl
lll position, at low spo€d range
The flow of fluid up to the drive pulley, the driven pulley, and the clutch reducing valve is the same as in El position. Thepulley ratio is low because the driven pulley receives high pressure (PH), and the drive pulley receives low pressure (pL),The clutch reducing pressure {cR) flows through the manual valve to the forwaro clutch, ttren forward ciulcn is engaged.The forward clutch then drives the drive pulley shaft, which drives the d(ven pu ey shaft.Also' clutch reducing pressure {cR) flows to the start clutch control valve, and becomes clutch control pressure {cc).clutch control pressure (cc) becomes start clutch pressure (sc) at the shift inhibitor valve. stan clutch pressure {sc) isapplied to the start clutch to engage the start clutch.

As the speed of the vehicle reaches the prescribed value, the shift control linear sol€noid moves the shift contror vatve toincrease shift valve pressure (SV) at the left end of the shift valve. ttre srrit vatve moves to the right side compared to itsposition at the middle pulley ratio. The shift valve uncovers the port leading high pressure (pxito ttre d.ve puley anduncovers the port leading low pressure (PL) to the driven pulley. The drive pu|ey receives high pressure (pH) and the driv-en pulley receives low pressure (pL). The pulley ratio is high.Pressure remains to apply the forward clutch and the start clutch,
