Diagnostic Fault Information
Typical Scan Tool Data
Circuit/System Description
The clutch pressure (PC) solenoid 2 is part of the control solenoid valve assembly which has no serviceable parts. The normally high clutch PC
solenoid 2 regulates and directs the clutch PC solenoid 2 oil pressure to the 3-5 reverse clutch regulator valve and 3-5 reverse clutch boost valve.
Increasing clutch PC solenoid 2 pressure increases pressure to the 3-5 reverse clutch. The TCM varies the current to the PC solenoid 2 through a
low side driver. Decreasing the current to the clutch PC solenoid 2 increases clutch PC solenoid 2 oil pressure by closing OFF the solenoid exhaust
port. Increasing the current to the clutch PC solenoid 2, decreases clutch PC solenoid 2 oil pressure by opening the solenoid exhaust port. Clutch
PC solenoid 2 power is supplied by the TCM through a high side driver (HSD). The HSD protects the circuit and components from excessive
current flow. If excessive current flow is detected, the HSD will turn OFF. When the fault is corrected, the HSD will reset.
