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 TFP manual valve position switch assembly consists of 5 pressure switches and a Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) sensor. Two switches are normally closed. Three other switches are normally open. Complete assembly mounts on control valve body.

The PCM supplies battery voltage to each range switch. PCM grounds one or more range switch signal circuit(s) through various combinations of pressure switches. PCM monitors combinations in order to detect what manual valve position has been selected. PCM compares actual voltage combination of switches to TFP manual valve position switch combination values stored in memory. TFP manual valve position switch cannot distinguish between Park and Neutral because monitored valve body pressures are identical. DTC P1810 is set if PCM detects an invalid state of TFP manual valve position switch. See TFP MANUAL VALVE POSITION SWITCH LOGIC table under DESCRIPTION & OPERATION.
