D Position, at high speed range

As the speed of the vehicle reaches the programmed value, the PCM controls the CVT driven pulley pressure control solenoid valve and the CVT drive pulley pressure control solenoid valve to provide about the same hydraulic pressure to the pulleys. The diameter in contact with the steel belt on the drive pulley and the driven pulley becomes nearly equal, and the pulley ratio is in high. Hydraulic pressure is then applied to the start clutch and the forward clutch.
