Circuit Description

The 3-2 shift solenoid is a normally closed 3-port on/off device which controls 3-2 downshift. Ignition voltage is supplied directly to solenoid through fused circuit. PCM commands solenoid on or off through ground circuit. During 3-2 downshift, 2-4 band applies as 3-4 clutch releases. PCM varies timing between 3-4 clutch release and 2-4 band apply depending on vehicle speed and throttle position. DTC P0785 is set if PCM detects a continuous open, short to ground or short to voltage in 3-2 shift solenoid circuit.
