WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2012 GMC Yukon XL, 2012 GMC Yukon, 2012 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2012 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2012 Chevrolet Avalanche. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The transmission fluid pressure (TFP) switch 3 is part of the control solenoid valve assembly which has no serviceable parts. The TCM supplies a signal circuit to the TFP switch 3. The TFP switch 3 has an internal case ground. TFP switch 3 is normally closed or LOW. When oil pressure is present at the TFP switch 3, the switch is open or HIGH. The normally low clutch pressure control (PC) solenoid 4 controls pressure to the 2-6 clutch regulator valve. The TCM monitors the TFP switch 3 to determine the position of the 2-6 clutch regulator valve. When the 2-6 clutch is commanded OFF, pressure is present on the TFP switch 3. When the 2-6 clutch is commanded ON, the 2-6 clutch regulator valve moves and pressure is exhausted through the 2-6 clutch regulator valve.
