Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.
Manuals through 2025 now available!

Our trusted friends have launched a new website named LEMON, which has newer manuals. It also contains all the CHARM manuals.

LEMON is the spiritual successor to CHARM, I recommend you try it!

Line Pressure Control






1. The oil pump delivery pressure (line pressure) is regulated to the constant pilot pressure by the pilot valve.
2. The pilot pressure applied to the pressure modifier valve is regulated by the line pressure controlling duty solenoid A and changed into the pressure modifier pressure.
3. The pressure modifier valve is an auxiliary valve for the pressure regulator valve, and it creates a signal pressure (pressure modifier pressure) for regulating the line pressure to an optimum pressure corresponding to the driving conditions.
4. This pressure modifier pressure is applied to the pressure regulator valve to control the oil pump delivery pressure.
5. The delivery pressure of the oil pump is regulated to an appropriate pressure (line pressure) corresponding to the driving condition to reduce the loss in the oil pump driving time and acceleration shock.
6. The pressure modifier pressure regulated by the pressure modifier valve is smoothed by the pressure modifier accumulator and pulsation in the line pressure is eliminated.
