Overdrive Range, Third Gear: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Cadillac DTS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
As the speed of the vehicle increases, the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) receives input signals from various engine and transmission sensors. The PCM uses this data to energize the 2-3 shift solenoid (SS) valve in order to shift the transmission into third gear at the appropriate time.
