Kia Carens: Hydraulic System / Description and operation
The hydraulic system consists of oil, an oil filter, an oil pump, and a valve
body (valves and solenoid valves). The oil pump is powered by the engine. ATF
passes through the oil filter and gets distributed along the oil channels. The
oil becomes highly pressurized as it exits the oil pump and passes through the
line pressure valve before being fed to the clutch & brake control valve, clutch,
and brakes. TCM controls the hydraulic pressure using solenoid valves and controls
clutch and brake operations.
