Circuit/System Description

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

The transmission fluid pressure (TFP) switch 3 assembly is part of the control solenoid valve assembly which has no serviceable components. The transmission control module (TCM) supplies a signal circuit to the TFP switch 3. The TFP switch 3 has an internal case ground. TFP switch 3 is normally closed, or Low. When oil pressure is present at the TFP switch 3, the switch is open, or High. The normally low clutch pressure control (PC) solenoid 4 controls pressure to the 2-6 clutch regulator valve. The TCM monitors the TFP switch 3 to determine the position of the 2-6 clutch regulator valve. When the 2-6 clutch is commanded OFF, pressure is present on the TFP switch 3. When the 2-6 clutch is commanded ON, the 2-6 clutch regulator valve moves and pressure to the TFP switch 3 is exhausted through the 2-6 clutch regulator valve.
