Circuit Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Pontiac Montana, 2002 Oldsmobile Silhouette, and 2002 Chevrolet Venture. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The differential clutch pump actuator check valve assembly is a pulse-width modulated actuator mounted to the rear drive assembly. Ignition voltage is supplied to the clutch pump actuator check valve through a fused circuit. The PCM controls the actuator with a negative duty cycle. The actuator controls the fluid supply to the pump inlet in the rear drive assembly. When the actuator is commanded OFF, the PCM will detect a high voltage. When the actuator is commanded ON, the PCM will detect a low voltage. At engine startup, the actuator is turned ON at 60-80 percent duty cycle for 3 seconds, then drops to 10-0.8 km (0.2530 percent for holding. Every 30 seconds, the duty cycle is ramped to 60-0.8 km (0.25-0.8 km (0.25-0.8 km (0.25-0.8 km (0.2580 percent for 0.5 second, then back to 10-0.8 km (0.2530 percent.
