Control Valve Function

CONTROL VALVE FUNCTION REFERENCE

Valve name Function
Torque converter regulator valve Regulates line pressure to the optimum pressure (torque converter operating pressure) to prevent pressure applied to the torque converter from being excessive.
Pressure regulator valve Pressure regulator plug Pressure regulator sleeve Regulates oil pump discharge pressure to the optimum pressure (line pressure) in response to the driving conditions.
Front brake control valve Regulates line pressure to the optimum pressure (front brake pressure) to be applied to the front brake during the front brake apply.
Accumulator control valve Regulates pressure applied to the accumulator piston, and the low coast reducing valve (accumulator control pressure) in response to the driving conditions (regulates clutch pressure at 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th gears).
Pilot valve A Regulates line pressure to the regular pressure required by line pressure control, shift control, and lock-up control (pilot pressure).
Pilot valve B Regulates line pressure to the regular pressure required by shift control (pilot pressure).
Low coast brake switching valve Provides the low coast brake reducing valve with line pressure during engine brake operation.
Low coast brake reducing valve Regulates line pressure to the optimum pressure to be applied to the low coast brake when the low coast brake is coupled.
N-R accumulator Produces the stabilizing pressure for when N-R is selected.
Direct clutch piston switching valve Operates in 4th gear and switches the direct clutch coupling capacity.
High & low reverse clutch control valve Regulates line pressure to the optimum pressure (high & low reverse clutch pressure) to be applied to the high & low reverse clutch when the high & low reverse clutch is coupled (regulates clutch pressure in 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th gears).
Input clutch control valve Regulates line pressure to the optimum pressure (input clutch pressure) to be applied to the input clutch when the input clutch is coupled (regulates clutch pressure in 4th, 5th gears).
Direct clutch control valve Regulates line pressure to the optimum pressure (direct clutch pressure) to be applied to the direct clutch when the direct clutch is coupled (regulates clutch pressure in 2nd, 3rd, 4th gears).
Lock-up control valve Lock-up control plug Lock-up control sleeve Switches lock-up to operating or released. Also, by performing the lock-up operation transiently, lock-up smoothly.
Torque converter lubrication valve Operates to switch torque converter, cooling, and oil path of lubrication system during lock-up.
Cool bypass valve Allows excess oil to by pass cooler circuit without being fed into it.
Line pressure relief valve Discharges excess oil from line pressure circuit.
N-D accumulator Produces the stabilizing pressure for when N-D is selected.
Manual valve Delivers line pressure to each circuit in response to each select position. Circuit to which line pressure is not sent drain.
