Pressure Regulator Valve
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 GMC Yukon and 2009 Chevrolet Tahoe. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The pressure regulator valve regulates the oil pump output (line pressure) in response to the signal fluid pressure, the spring force and the line pressure acting on the end of the valve. The line pressure is routed through the valve and into both the converter feed and the decrease fluid circuits. Regulated line pressure is also directed to the manual valve, the converter clutch valve, the actuator feed limit valve, and the regulated apply valve.
