D Position: Driving in 1st gear
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Honda Fit, 2012 Honda Fit, 2011 Honda Fit, 2010 Honda Fit, and 2009 Honda Fit. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The PCM turns shift solenoid valve B ON, and shift solenoid valves A and C remain OFF. Shift solenoid valve B pressure (SB) is applied to the right end of shift valve B. Shift valve B is moved to the left side to uncover the line pressure port leading to the 1st clutch, and to cover the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve A pressure port. Line pressure (1B) passed through shift valve B flows to the manual valve, shift valve A, and shift valve C, and becomes 1st clutch pressure (10). 1st clutch pressure is applied to the 1st clutch, and the 1st clutch is engaged by the line pressure mode.
NOTE:
- When used, "left" or "right" indicates direction on the hydraulic circuit.
- The illustration shows the seven-position transmission; the manual-valve-position differs in the five-position transmission.
