3-2 Downshift Control Solenoid Valve and the 3-2 Control Valve
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Hummer H2. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
In first gear the solenoid is OFF, the AFL fluid is blocked by the solenoid, and the 3-2 signal fluid exhausts through the solenoid and the spring force opens the 3-2 control valve.
