Reverse Inhibitor Control
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Honda Odyssey, 2003 Honda Odyssey, and 2002 Honda Odyssey. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
When the R position is selected while the vehicle is moving forward at speeds over 6 MPH (10 km/h), the PCM outputs to turn shift solenoid valves A and C ON; and shift solenoid valve B keeps ON. The reverse CPC valve is moved to right side and covers the port to stop the line pressure (3') to the servo valve. The line pressure (3') is not applied to the servo valve, and the 5th clutch pressure (50) is not applied to the 5th clutch. As a result, power is not transmitted to the reverse position.
NOTE:
When used, "left" or "right" indicates direction on the hydraulic circuit.
