2000 HONDA CIVIC Valve

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.

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.

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.

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.
