Odyssey EX V6-3.5L (1999)
Main Valve Body
The main valve body contains the manual valve, the modulator valve, the shift valve C, the shift valve D, the shift valve E, the servo control valve, the
cooler check valve, the torque converter check valve, the reverse CPC valve, the lock-up shift valve, the relief valve, and the ATF pump gears. The
primary function of the main valve body is to switch fluid pressure on and off and to control hydraulic pressure going to the hydraulic control system.
Regulator Valve Body
The regulator valve body is located on the main valve body. The regulator valve body contains the regulator valve, the lock-up timing valve, and the
lock-up control valve.
Regulator Valve
The regulator valve maintains constant hydraulic pressure from the ATF pump to the hydraulic control system, while also furnishing fluid to the
lubricating system and torque converter. Fluid from the ATF pump flows through B and B'. Fluid entering from B flows through the valve orifice to
the A cavity. This pressure of the A cavity pushes the regulator valve to the right side, and this movement of the regulator valve uncovers the fluid port
to the torque converter and the relief valve. The fluid flows out to the torque converter and the relief valve, and the regulator valve moves to the left
side. According to the level of the hydraulic pressure through B, the position of the regulator valve changes, and the amount of fluid from B' through
torque converter changes. This operation is continued, maintaining the line pressure.

Increases in hydraulic pressure according to torque are performed by the regulator valve using stator torque reaction. The stator shaft is splined with
the stator in the torque converter, and its arm end contacts the regulator spring cap. When the vehicle is accelerating or climbing (Torque Converter
