Driving in 1st Gear
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Honda Odyssey, 2012 Honda Odyssey, and 2011 Honda Odyssey. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The PCM turns shift solenoid valve C ON and covers the shift solenoid valve C pressure port (SC) to shift valve C and shift valve D via shift valve E. Shift solenoid valve A remains OFF, and shift solenoid valve B remains ON. Shift valves C and D are moved to the left side, shift valve D switches the line pressure port (4) and CPC C pressure (4C) leading to the 1st clutch, and shift valve C switches the port of CPC A pressure (5A) releasing 2nd clutch pressure. Line pressure (4) becomes 1st clutch pressure (10) at shift valve D, and flows to the 1st clutch. The 1st clutch is engaged by line pressure.
NOTE:
When used, "left" or "right" indicates direction on the hydraulic circuit.
