Circuit Description

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 14 other vehicles, including the 1998 GMC Savana Special, 1998 GMC Savana Camper Special, 1998 GMC Savana, 1998 Chevrolet RV Cutaway, and 1998 Chevrolet Cutaway. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

TCC PWM solenoid is used to control fluid flow acting on converter clutch valve. Solenoid controls TCC apply and release. Solenoid is attached to control valve body. Ignition voltage is supplied directly to solenoid through fused circuit. VCM commands solenoid on or off through ground circuit. Current flows through TCC PWM solenoid coil according to duty cycle (percentage of on and off time). TCC PWM solenoid provides a smooth engagement of TCC by operating during duty cycle percent of on time. DTC P1860 will set if VCM detects a continuous open or short to ground in TCC PWM solenoid circuit.
