Circuit/System Description
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2011 GMC Yukon XL, 2011 GMC Yukon, 2011 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2011 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2011 Chevrolet Avalanche. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The shift solenoid (SS) 1 is part of the control solenoid valve assembly which has no serviceable parts. SS 1 is a normally closed (NC) ON/OFF solenoid and is controlled by the TCM through a low side driver. When the SS 1 is energized (ON), SS 1 fluid pressure is directed to the clutch select valve 2. Power to the SS 1 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.
