D Position: Driving in 3rd 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 C ON, and shift solenoid valves A and B remain OFF. Shift solenoid valve C pressure (SC) is applied to the right end of shift valve C and cut valve B. Shift valve C is moved to the left side to release 2nd clutch pressure. The 3rd clutch stays engaged with the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve C pressure.
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.
