Circuit/System Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 GMC Acadia. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The right and left rear differential clutch solenoid valves are an electro-hydraulic valve used to relieve pressure in the hydraulic system for safety reasons. When the valves are energized, the valves are closed and hydraulic pressure can be accumulated. When the valves are de-energized, the valves are open and it is not possible to build hydraulic pressure.
