Hydraulic System Schematic: Fail-Safe

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Ford Pickup, 2011 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2011 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2011 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

If an electronic, hydraulic, or mechanical transmission malfunction occurs, the PCM or TCM  defaults to Fail-Safe mode and turns off any current to the transmission. This leaves PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL and 5th gear with an unlocked TCC  as the only available gears. With SSB  , SSE  and the LPC  solenoid being normally high solenoids, 5th gear with full line pressure is achieved hydraulically when current is removed from the transmission.
