Hydraulic Operation

Line pressure hydraulic circuits:

The position of the main regulator valve controls line pressure. The position of the main regulator valve is dependent on the pressure applied to it by the LPC solenoid through the VFS5 circuit.

The main regulator valve varies pressure in the PUMP circuit by controlling hydraulic flow from the SCHG circuit into the pump suction circuit.

• Line pressure is supplied to the:
  • Manual valve.
  • Lubrication control valve.
  • Converter release regulator valve.
  • Bypass clutch control regulator valve.
  • Solenoid pressure regulator valve.
  • D1 latch and regulator valves.

• In drive, the manual valve directs line pressure to the No. 1 shuttle valve and clutch A, C and E regulator valves.
• The No. 1 shuttle ball directs line pressure to the clutch B regulator valve.

Torque converter circuits:

• When the TCC is released, the converter release regulator valve applies pressure to the torque converter through the CREL circuit to release the TCC.
• CREL pressure exits the torque converter through the CAPLY circuit to the bypass clutch control regulator valve.
• The bypass clutch control regulator valve directs the pressure from the CAPLY circuit back to the converter release regulator valve through the CAPLY EX circuit.
• The converter release regulator valve directs the pressure from the CAPLY EX circuit to the drain back valve through the DBACK circuit.

Cooler and lubrication hydraulic circuits:

• The lubrication control valve directs line pressure to the transmission fluid cooler or the thermal bypass valve through the COOLF circuit.
• When the transmission fluid exits the transmission fluid cooler or thermal bypass valve, it provides lubrication to the transmission through the LUBE circuit.

Solenoid hydraulic circuits:

• The solenoid pressure regulator valve supplies regulated line pressure to the shift, LPC and TCC solenoid through the SREG hydraulic circuit.

• The PCA applies varying pressure to the main regulator valve through the VFS5 hydraulic circuit. LPC solenoid regulates line pressure by controlling
• The position of the main regulator valve.
• SSB supplies pressure to the clutch B regulator valve to position the valve for direct clutch (B) application.
• SSD supplies pressure to the solenoid multiplex valve through the VFS4 circuit.
• SSE supplies pressure to the solenoid multiplex valve and the drive enable valve through the SS1 circuit to move the valves.
• The position of the solenoid multiplex valve and the drive enable valve allows pressure from the VFS4 circuit to be directed to the clutch E latch and regulator valves through the CLEC circuit to position the valves for overdrive clutch (E) application.

Clutch hydraulic circuits:

• Regulated line pressure from the clutch B regulator valve is supplied to the direct clutch (B) to apply the clutch.
• Regulated line pressure from the clutch E regulator valve is supplied to the overdrive clutch (E) to apply the clutch.
