Circuit/System Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 GMC Sierra, 2010 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra, 2010 Chevrolet Silverado, and 2010 Chevrolet Cab & Chassis Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The clutch pressure (PC) solenoid 2 is part of the control solenoid valve assembly which has no serviceable parts. The normally high clutch PC solenoid 2 regulates and directs the clutch PC solenoid 2 oil pressure to the 3-5 reverse clutch regulator valve and 3-5 reverse clutch boost valve. Increasing clutch PC solenoid 2 pressure increases pressure to the 3-5 reverse clutch. The TCM varies the current to the PC solenoid 2 through a low side driver. Decreasing the current to the clutch PC solenoid 2 increases clutch PC solenoid 2 oil pressure by closing OFF the solenoid exhaust port. Increasing the current to the clutch PC solenoid 2, decreases clutch PC solenoid 2 oil pressure by opening the solenoid exhaust port. Clutch PC solenoid 2 power is supplied by the TCM through a high side driver (HSD). The HSD protects the circuit and components from excessive current flow. If excessive current flow is detected, the HSD will turn OFF. When the fault is corrected, the HSD will reset.
