Electrical Operation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Ford Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Solenoid operation: In failsafe, voltage is removed from all solenoids and the solenoids default to their normal position. If a solenoid is a normally low (NL) solenoid, the solenoid will not supply pressure to the regulator valve, releasing the clutch that it controls. If a solenoid is a normally high (NH) solenoid, the solenoid will provide high pressure to the regulator valve, applying the clutch that it controls.
