Pressure Regulation
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.
Manual Valve
With the manual valve in the reverse position, line pressure is directed into the reverse fluid circuit, in addition to the PRND4 and the PRN fluid circuits, which were used in Park position.
Pressure Regulator and Boost Valves
Reverse fluid is routed to the boost valve. Reverse fluid assists torque signal fluid pressure. The addition of reverse fluid pressure increases the operating range of the line pressure in Reverse position.
A/T Fluid Pressure Manual Valve Position Switch (TFP Val. Position Sw.) Assembly
Reverse fluid is routed through the 1-2 shift valve and to the TFP Val. Position Sw. Assembly, which signals the PCM that the transmission is in Reverse position.
