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 8 is a normally closed, On/Off solenoid. This solenoid is also referred to as the default solenoid valve. The transmission control module (TCM) high side driver 1, supplies 12 V to the transmission control solenoid valve 8. A low side driver circuit in the TCM turns the solenoid On/Off. If excessive current flow is detected, the high side 1 will turn Off. When the circuit fault is corrected, the high side driver 1 will reset.
