Shifting to D and S from N

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Acura MDX, 2012 Acura MDX, 2011 Acura MDX, and 2010 Acura MDX. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

When shifting to D or S from N, the condition of shift solenoid valves A and B remain the same as in N, and the manual valve moves to the D position. Line pressure (4) from the manual valve is applied to the shift valve C line pressure port (4) and the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valves A pressure port (4) and B pressure port (4). As shift solenoid valve A is ON and shift solenoid valve B is OFF, the line pressure (4A) from shift valve A applies to the shift valve C line pressure port (4B) through shift valve B (4A, 4B). Shift valve C remains on the left side by the hydraulic pressure (4B) from shift valve B. Immediately after moving the shift lever to D or S from N, A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve D operates to apply the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve D pressure (58) to the 1st clutch through lock-upshift valve pressure ports (58, 58'), shift valve C pressure ports (58', 3B), manual valve pressure ports (3B, 5A), and shift valve C pressure ports (5A, 10). A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve D gently applies hydraulic pressure to the 1st clutch, which avoids generating shock while in gear.

NOTE: When used, "left" or "right" indicates direction on the hydraulic circuit.
