Circuit/System Description

Shift solenoid 2 is part of the control solenoid valve assembly, which has no serviceable components. Shift solenoid 2 is a normally closed ON/OFF solenoid and is controlled by the transmission control module (TCM) through a low side driver. When the shift solenoid 2 is energized, fluid pressure is directed to the clutch select valve 3, which allows the valve to overcome the spring pressure and move to the applied position. Power to the shift solenoid 2 is supplied by the TCM through a high side driver. The high side driver protects the circuit and components from excessive current flow. If excessive current flow is detected, the high side driver will turn OFF. When the fault is corrected, the high side driver will reset.
