Pinpoint Test G: TCC, LPC Solenoids

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2021 Ford F-150. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Refer to Wiring Diagrams TRANSMISSION CONTROLS - 10R80 for schematic and connector information.

    Normal Operation and Fault Conditions 

    The TCC is controlled by a directly proportional solenoid. Transmission line pressure is controlled by an inversely proportional solenoid meaning no current provides maximum line pressure, and maximum current provides minimum line pressure. The TCC and LPC solenoids are controlled by smart drivers capable of detecting open, short to ground or short to power faults. In the event of an open circuit or short to power fault, the TCC fails open, and the LPC solenoid fails to maximum line pressure. The TCC and LPC solenoids share a high side driver. Anytime power is removed the transmission defaults to MAX line pressure with the TCC released.
