Solenoid Valve 1,2

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

Solenoid Valve 1 controls the line pressure (high and low) to the clutch valves. Solenoid Valve 1 is either ON or OFF. When the solenoid is turned ON the line pressure will be low [87~116 psi (6~8 bar)]. When the solenoid is turned OFF the line pressure will be high [232-261 psi (16-18 bar)].

Solenoid 2 controls the fluid flow to clutch valve E or the TCC clutch valve. When solenoid 2 is ON fluid is directed to the TCC pressure valve and if the solenoid is switched OFF fluid will flow to the inlet at clutch valve E.

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

In Park and Neutral solenoid valve 1 is ON. So line pressure flows to the safety valve and the line pressure control valve via the solenoid valve.
