Circuit Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 GMC Sierra, 2002 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra, 2002 Chevrolet Silverado, and 2002 Chevrolet Cab & Chassis Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The torque converter clutch solenoid, solenoid "F", is a pulse width modulated solenoid. Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) occurs when the signal from the Transmission Control Module (TCM) to a solenoid is modulated at an established frequency, causing the steel check ball in the solenoid to rapidly open and close the solenoid passage. This serves to vary the output fluid pressure.
This is a type "B" DTC.
