M Position: Driving in 1st gear (engaged with 1st and 1st-hold clutches)

Line pressure (1) regulated by the regulator valve flows to shift solenoid valves. The PCM controls the shift solenoid valves ON and OFF. The conditions of the shift solenoid valves and positions of the shift valve are as follows:

Line pressure (4) becomes 1st clutch pressure (10) at shift valve D, and flows to the 1st clutch. The 1st clutch is engaged. The PCM controls A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve C, and A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve C pressure (58) is applied to CPC valve C via the lock-up shift valve. CPC valve C regulates line pressure (4), and line pressure (4) becomes CPC C pressure (4C). CPC C pressure (4C) flows to shift valve B via shift valves D, E, and C, and becomes 1st-hold clutch pressure (15) at shift valve B. 1st-hold clutch pressure (15) is applied to the 1st-hold clutch, and the 1st-hold clutch is engaged.

NOTE: When used, "left" or "right" indicates direction on the hydraulic circuit.
