Circuit Description
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 36 other vehicles, including the 2002 Pontiac Firebird, 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada, 2002 GMC Yukon XL, 2002 GMC Yukon, and 2002 GMC Sonoma. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The 3-2 shift solenoid is a normally closed 3-port on/off device which controls 3-2 downshift. Ignition voltage is supplied directly to solenoid through fused circuit. PCM commands solenoid on or off through ground circuit. During 3-2 downshift, 2-4 band applies as 3-4 clutch releases. PCM varies timing between 3-4 clutch release and 2-4 band apply depending on vehicle speed and throttle position. DTC P0785 is set if PCM detects a continuous open, short to ground or short to voltage in 3-2 shift solenoid circuit.
