Secondary Valve Body
The secondary valve body contains the PH regulator valve. the clutch reducing valve' the start clutch valve accumulator'
and the shift inhibitor valve
PH Regulator Valve
The pi regulator valve maintains hydraulic pressure supplied from the ATF pump. and supplies PH pressure to the
hvdraulic control circuit and the lubrication circuit. PH pressure is regulated at the PH regulator valve by the PH control
pressure (PHC) from the PH control valve.
Cluteh Reducing Valvo
The clutch reducing valve receives PH pressure from the PH regulator valve and regulates the clutch reducing pressure
(cR). The clutch reducing valve supplies clutch pressure (cR) to the manual valve and the start clutch control valve' and
supplies signal pressure to the PH-PL pressure control valve. the shift control valve, and the inhibitor solenoid valve'
Start Clutch Valv€ Accumulator
The start clutch vatve accumutator stabilizes the hydraulic pressure that is supplied to the start clutch'
Shift Inhibitor Valve
The shift inhibitor valve switches the fluid passage to switch the start clutch control from electronic control to hydraulic
control when the electronic control system is faulty. lt also suppliss clutch reducing pressure (cR) to the pitot regulator
valve and the pitot lubrication pipe.

Description
Hydraulic Flow (cont'd)
lll position, when th€ electronic control system is fauhy.
when the electronic control svstem (linear solenoids and sensors) is faulty, the transmission uses the pitot pipe pressure(PP) to 311o- rh" u"hicle to drive.
when all linear solenoids and sensors are off because of a faulty electronrc control system, clutch reducing pressure (cR)flows to the start clutch control valve, the manual valve, the PH-PL control valve, and the shift control valve. clutch reduc-ing pressure (cR) becomes shift varve pressure (sV) at the shift contror varve, and shift varve pressure {sv) is appried tothe left end of the shift valve and the right end of the shift inhibitor valve. The shift valve moves to the right side. anduncovers the pon that leads high pressure (PH) to the drive pulley and uncovers the po.t tlr"t r""1" ro,,"-pressure (pL) tothe driven pulley At this time, the pulley ratio is high, The shift inhibitor valve moves to the left side, and uncovers theport that leads shift inhibitor pressure (Sll to the pitot lubrication pipe and the pitot regulator valve. tne prtot lubricationpipe discharges fluid inside of the pitot flange, and discharged fluid enters into the pitot pipe and it is applied to the leftend of the pitot regulator valve. The pitot regulator valve moves lo the right side, and uncovers the port that leads pitotregulator pressure (PR) to the shift inhibitor valve. Pitot regulator pressure {pR) becomes start clutch pressure {sc1 at theshift inhibitor valve, and is applied to the stan clutch. The stan clutch rs engaged. The forward clutch pressure (FWD) isapplied to the forward crutch, and the forward crutch is engaged. This alows the vehicre to drive.

The manual valve is shifted into the lE position' and it uncovers the port that leads reverse brake pressure {RVS} to the

Troubleshooting Procedures
l. How To Begin Troubleshooting
When the E indicator light has been reported on, use the appropriate procedure below to diagnose and repatr theproDlem.
A. When the @ indicator light has come on:
l connect the Honda PGM Tester or an oBD ll Scan Tool to the 16P Data Link Connector (DLc) located near the leftkick panel.
Turn the ignition switch ON (ll).
Check the DTC and note it. Also check and notethe freeze frame data.
Refer to the Diagnostic Trouble Code Chart andbegin troubleshooting.
INOICATORLIGHT
NOTE: SeetheOBDll Scan Tool or Honda PGM Tester user's manuals for specific operating instructions.
Some PGM-FI problems will also make the E indicator light come on. After repairing the pGM-Fl system, disconnect theBACK UP fuse (7.5 Al in the under-hood fuse/relay box for more than l0 seconds to reset the TCM or PCM memory, rnenrecheck.
NOTE: Disconnecting the BACK UP fuse also cancels the radio preset stations and the clock setting. Make note of theradio presets before removing the fuse so you can reset them,
