Electronic Pressure Regulator Solenoids
Seven Electronic Pressure Regulator Solenoids (EPRS) are located in the valve block. The solenoids are controlled by Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) signals from the Transmission Control Module (TCM). The solenoids convert the electrical signals into hydraulic control pressure proportional to the signal to actuate the spool valves for precise transmission operation.
Solenoids EPRS A, B, D, E and WK supply a higher control pressure as the signal amperage increases and can be identified by an orange connector cap. The TCM operates the solenoids using PWM signals. The TCM monitors engine load and clutch slip and varies the solenoid duty cycle accordingly. The solenoids have a 12V operating voltage and a pressure range of 0 - 4.7 bar (0 - 68 lbf.in2 ).
Solenoids EPRS C and SYS supply a lower control pressure as the signal amperage increases and can be identified by a gray connector cap. The TCM monitors engine load and clutch slip and varies the solenoid duty cycle accordingly. The solenoids have a 12V operating voltage and a pressure range of 4.7 - 0 bar (68 - 0 lbf.in2 ).
The resistance of the solenoid coil winding for EPRS solenoids is 5.05 Ohms at 20°C (68°F).
