Circuit/System Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 GMC Yukon XL, 2017 GMC Yukon, 2017 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2017 Chevrolet Suburban 3500 HD, and 2017 Chevrolet Suburban. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The shift solenoid 1 is part of the control solenoid valve assembly which has no serviceable parts. The shift solenoid 1 is a normally closed ON/OFF solenoid and is controlled by the Transmission Control Module through a low side driver. When the shift solenoid 1 is energized, shift solenoid 1 fluid pressure is directed to the clutch select valve 2. Power to the shift solenoid 1 is supplied by the Transmission Control Module 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.
