Operation of the Start Clutch Pressure
The start clutch control pressure (CC) from the CVT clutch pressure control solenoid valve becomes start clutch pressure (SC) at the shift inhibitor valve, and flows to the start clutch. The PCM actuates the CVT clutch pressure control solenoid valve to control start clutch pressure when starting the vehicle. The start clutch is engaged like a torque converter to control smooth starting-off and creeping in D and R.
