Low and Reverse Band Remains Applied

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Pontiac G5 Pursuit, 2007 Pontiac G5, and 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
IMPORTANT: In Park, Reverse, and Neutral positions the shift solenoid valves are shown to be in the First gear state. this is the normal operating state when the vehicle is stationary or at low vehicle speeds. However, the PCM will change the shift solenoid valve states depending on the speed of the vehicle. For example, if the Neutral range is selected when the vehicle is operating in Second gear, the shift solenoid valves will remain in a Second gear state. But with the manual valve in Neutral, line pressure is blocked, drive fluid exhausts and the transmission will shift into Neutral.

1-2 Shift Solenoid Valve 

As in Park and Reverse positions, the solenoid valve is energized and 1-2 signal fluid pressure acts on the 1-2 shift valve.

1-2 Shift Valve 

The 1-2 signal fluid pressure keeps the 1-2 shift valve in the downshifted position. Low/PRN fluid continues to feed the low band fluid circuit.

Low and Reverse Servo 

Reverse fluid exhausts from the servo. However, low band fluid pressure continues to act on the inner area of the servo piston in order to keep the band applied.
