Valve name Function
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.
Overrun clutch control valve Switches hydraulic circuits to prevent engagement of the overrun clutch simultaneously with
application of the brake band in D
4. (Interlocking occurs if the overrun clutch engages during
D
4.)
1st reducing valve Reduces low & reverse brake pressure to dampen engine-brake shock when down-shifting
from the ª1º position 1
2to 11.
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, plug and sleeveActivates or inactivates the lock-up function.
Also provides smooth lock-up through transient application and release of the lock-up system.
1-2 accumulator valve and piston Dampens the shock encountered when 2nd gear band servo contracts, and provides smooth
shifting.
3-2 timing valve Switches oil pressure with 3-2 timing valve according to throttle opening.
Shuttle control valve Reduces shock when down-shifting from 3rd to 2nd and regulates overrun clutch.
Cooler check valve Regulates oil pressure which causes lock-up when driving at low speeds.

JUDGEMENT OF LINE PRESSURE TESTNJAT0027S03
Judgement Suspected parts
At idleLine pressure is low in all positions.+Oil pump wear
+Control piston damage
+Pressure regulator valve or plug sticking
+Spring for pressure regulator valve damaged
+Fluid pressure leakage between oil strainer and pressure regulator valve
+Clogged strainer
Line pressure is low in particular
position.+Fluid pressure leakage between manual valve and particular clutch
+For example, line pressure is:
þ Low in ªRº and ª1º positions, but
þ Normal in ªDº and ª2º positions.
Therefore, fluid leakage exists at or around low and reverse brake circuit.
Refer to ªCLUTCH AND BAND CHARTº, AT-23.
Line pressure is high.+Maladjustment of throttle position sensor
+A/T fluid temperature sensor damaged
+Line pressure solenoid valve sticking
+Short circuit of line pressure solenoid valve circuit
+Pressure modifier valve sticking
+Pressure regulator valve or plug sticking
+Open in dropping resistor circuit
At stall

Road TestNJAT0028DESCRIPTIONNJAT0028S01+The purpose of the test is to determine overall performance of
A/T and analyze causes of problems.
+The road test consists of the following three parts:
1. Check before engine is started
2. Check at idle
3. Cruise test
SAT496G
+Before road test, familiarize yourself with all test procedures
and items to check.
+Conduct tests on all items until specified symptom is found.
Troubleshoot items which check out No Good after road test.
