For E clutch operation, REFER to: E CLUTCH .
E Clutch
| Condition | Possible Sources | Action |
|---|---|---|
| E clutch does not apply | SSE mechanically stuck OFF | INSTALL a new solenoid. REFER to: Shift Solenoids (SS) . |
| E clutch control valve stuck OFF | DISASSEMBLE, CLEAN and INSPECT the E clutch control valve. If the bore or valve is damaged, INSTALL a new main control valve body. REFER to: Main Control Valve Body | |
| E clutch hydraulic circuit blocked/leaking | DISASSEMBLE and INSPECT the main control valve body and separator plate passages for debris, blockage and leaks. CLEAN as necessary. REFER to: Main Control Valve Body | |
