Shift Solenoid Valve: Solenoid 1, 2

The shift solenoids are two identical, normally open electronic exhaust work that control upshifts and downshifts in all forward gear ranges. These shift solenoids valves together in a combination of ON and OFF sequences to control the line pressure and shift mechanisms (clutches, brakes).

Solenoid 1 controls the high or low of the line pressure (flow to each clutch valve) by the operation type (ON/OFF), i.e. solenoid 1 is ON, line pressure will be low (87~116 psi (6~8 bar)), solenoid 1 is OFF, line pressure will be high (232~261 psi (16~18 bar)).

Solenoid 2 controls the oil flow to clutch valve E or lockup clutch valve by the ON/OFF signal.

The TCM monitors numerous inputs to determine the appropriate solenoid state combination and transaxle gear for the vehicle operating conditions.
