Electronic Pressure Control (EPC) Solenoid
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Ford Econoline, 2004 Ford E450 Super Duty, and 2004 Ford Cutaway. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
The electronic pressure control (EPC) pressure output from the variable force solenoid is NOT adjustable. Any modification to the EPC solenoid will affect the transmission warranty.
The EPC solenoid is a variable force solenoid. The variable-force type solenoid is an electrohydraulic actuator combining a solenoid and a regulating valve. It supplies electronic pressure control that regulates transmission line pressure and line modulator pressure. This is done by producing resisting forces to the main regulator and the line modulator circuits. These two pressures control clutch application pressures.
