Pinpoint Test L: Even Clutch Pressure Control Solenoids
- Refer to TRANSMISSION CONTROLS - TR9070
for schematic and connector information.
Normal Operation and Fault Conditions
The TR9070 uses 2 clutches, the even clutch and the odd clutch, to transmit engine power to the gearbox. Each clutch directs power to 4 gears in the transmission. The clutches are controlled by hydraulic pressure from the clutch control valve body. Pressure control solenoid "B", also called the even clutch pressure control valve (ECPV), and pressure control solenoid "D", also called the even redundant shut-off valve (ERSV), are used to engage and disengage the odd gear clutch. Pressure control solenoid "G", also called the even clutch cooling flow control valve (ECFV), controls fluid flow to the transmission fluid cooler. All 3 even clutch control valves receive power from the TCM through the transmission solenoid power control 2 (TSPC2) circuit. The TCM controls each solenoid through dedicated low side drivers.
