N Position

The PCM controls the shift solenoid valves. The conditions of the shift solenoid valves and positions of the shift valves are as follows:

• Shift solenoid valve A: OFF, and shift valve A stays on the right side
• Shift solenoid valve B: ON, and shift valve B moves to left side
• Shift solenoid valve C: ON, and shift valve C moves to left side
• Shift solenoid valve D: OFF, and shift valve D stays on the left side
• Shift solenoid valve E: OFF, and shift valve E stays on the left side

Line pressure (1) flows to the shift solenoid valves and the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve A, and changes to A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve A pressure (55) at the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve A. A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve A pressure (55) becomes line pressure (1B) at shift valve A, and stops at the manual valve. Under this condition, hydraulic pressure is not applied to the clutches.
