Main Valve Body
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Honda Insight and 2010 Honda Insight. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The main valve body contains the start clutch shift valve, the shift inhibitor valve, the lubrication regulator valve, and the cooler relief valve.
- Start Clutch Shift Valve
When a control system malfunction occurs, the start clutch shift valve receives shift inhibitor pressure (SI) and covers the lubrication pressure bypass circuit port.
- Shift Inhibitor Valve
The shift inhibitor valve switches the fluid passage to switch the start clutch control from electronic control to hydraulic control when the electronic control system is faulty.
- Lubrication Regulator Valve
The lubrication regulator valve stabilizes the lubrication pressure to the internal circuit.
- Cooler Relief Valve
The cooler relief valve stabilizes the CVTF cooler pressure and recirculation pressure to the CVTF cooler and to the internal circuit.
