Pressure Control (PC) Solenoid
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 13 other vehicles, including the 2006 Saturn Relay, 2006 Pontiac Montana SV6, 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix, 2006 Pontiac G6, and 2006 Chevrolet Uplander. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
During the downshift, except for a coastdown, the PCM senses the increase in throttle position or engine load and increases the PC solenoid duty cycle. The increase in duty cycle increases output fluid pressure from the PC solenoid, thereby increasing torque signal fluid pressure at the torque signal regulator valve.
