The pressure control solenoid 2 (PCS2) is a pressure proportional to current (PCC) solenoid used to control on-coming, off-going and holding pressure to any 1 of the 5 clutches. The transmission control module (TCM) provides voltage to the PCS2, shift solenoid 1, 2, and 3 (SS1, SS2, and SS3) through a separate solid-state device called high side driver 2 (HSD2). The TCM regulates the amount of current to the PCS2 by switching the low side driver ON and OFF.
