Overdrive Range, 4-3 Downshift: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Isuzu i-370, 2008 Isuzu i-290, 2008 GMC Canyon, and 2008 Chevrolet Colorado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

At minimum throttle, the vehicle speed decreases gradually (coastdown) and the PCM commands a 4-3 downshift. The PCM also initiates a forced 4-3 downshift when the throttle position remains constant but engine load is increased, such as driving up a steep incline. To achieve a 4-3 downshift, the PCM de-energizes the 1-2 shift solenoid valve and the following changes occur to the transmission's electrical and hydraulic systems:
