D Position: Shifting between 2nd gear and 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.

As the speed of the vehicle reaches the programmed value, the PCM turns shift solenoid valve A OFF. Shift solenoid valves Band C remain OFF. Shift solenoid valve A pressure (SA) in the right end of shift valve A and in the left end of cut valve A is released. Cut valve A is kept in the right side by line pressure (4) even though shift solenoid valve A pressure (SA) is released. Shift valve A is moved to the right side to the switch line pressure port (5G) to the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve B pressure port (5E) leading to the 2nd clutch. Also, shift valve A uncovers the 3rd clutch pressure port (30) leading the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve C pressure (5L) to the 3rd clutch. The 2nd clutch and 3rd clutch are engaged by the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve 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.
