Overdrive Range, Third Gear - Torque Converter Clutch Not Applied (With Electronic Range Select Mode): Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Pontiac G5 and 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
As vehicle speed increases and operating conditions become appropriate, the PCM energized the 2-3 shift solenoid valve in order to shift the transmission into Third gear. The manual valve remains in the Overdrive (D) position, and line pressure continues to feed the drive and the PRND4 fluid circuits.
