Circuit/System Description

Pressure control solenoid 2 is part of the control solenoid valve assembly which has no serviceable components. The normally high pressure control solenoid 2 regulates and directs the pressure control solenoid 2 pressure to the 3-5 reverse clutch regulator valve. Increasing pressure control solenoid 2 pressure increases pressure to the 3-5 reverse clutch. The transmission control module (TCM) varies the current to the pressure control solenoid 2 by controlling the amount of time the low side driver is ON and OFF. Decreasing the current to the pressure control solenoid 2 increases pressure control solenoid 2 oil pressure by closing OFF the solenoid exhaust port. Increasing the current to the pressure control solenoid 2 decreases pressure control solenoid 2 oil pressure by opening the solenoid exhaust port. Power to pressure control solenoid 2 is supplied by the TCM through a high side driver. The high side driver protects the circuit and components from excessive current flow. If excessive current flow is detected, the high side driver will turn OFF. When the fault is corrected, the high side driver will reset.
