Circuit/System Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Cadillac CTS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The transmission control solenoid valve 1 is a low pressure, normally high, variable force solenoid valve. The transmission control module (TCM) high side driver 2, supplies 12 V to the transmission control solenoid valve 1. A low side driver circuit in the TCM is pulsed width modulated to vary the current to the solenoid. If excessive current flow is detected, the high side driver 2 will turn Off. When the circuit fault is corrected, the high side driver 2 will reset.
