A/T Fluid Pressure Manual Valve Position Switch (TFP Val. Position Sw.) Assembly
The D21 fluid from the 2-3 shift valve is routed to the TFP Val. Position Sw. assembly, which signals to the PCM that the manual valve is in the Manual Second position.
Pressure Control Solenoid Valve
The PCM increases the PCS duty cycle in order to increase the operating range of torque signal fluid pressure in Manual Second. This provides increased line pressure for the additional torque requirements during engine compression braking and increased engine load in Manual Second.
Torque Converter Clutch
The PCM will release the TCC before downshifting into Manual Second. The TCC will not reapply in Second gear under normal operating conditions.
