Pressure Relief Valve
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Isuzu Ascender, 2008 GMC Envoy, and 2008 Chevrolet TrailBlazer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Controlled by spring force, this checkball limits the maximum value of the line pressure. When the line pressure reaches this limiting value, fluid is exhausted past the ball and returns to the sump.
