VALVE BODY UNIT

1. General

This valve body unit has been developed for the U150E A / T application.
The valve body consists of the upper and lower valve bodies and 7 solenoid valves.
Apply orifice control, which controls the flow volume to the B

3

 brake, has been adopted in this unit.

Solenoid Valves SL1, SL2, SL3 and SLT

1) General

In order to provided a hydraulic pressure that is proportion to current that flows to the solenoid coil, the
solenoid valve SL1, SL2, SL3, and SLT linearly controls the line pressure and clutch and brake
engagement pressure based on the signals it receives from the ECM.
The solenoid valves SL1, SL2, SL3, and SLT have the same basic structure.

Solenoid Valves SR, S4, and DSL

1) General

The solenoid valves SR, S4, and DSL use a three-way solenoid valve.

2) Function of Solenoid Valve SR

The solenoid valve SR controls the solenoid relay valve. Accordingly, the fluid passages from the
solenoid valve DSL and S4 have been changed.
