Main Control
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Mercury Mariner and 2007 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The main control houses the hydraulic valves and solenoid valves. These valves direct fluid flow, restrict fluid flow and change fluid pressure. The main control receives signals from the solenoid valve body and changes those signals into hydraulic actions. These actions control the operation of the hydraulic clutches and intermediate and overdrive band assembly, and supply lubrication to the transaxle.
