WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Pontiac Torrent and 2009 Chevrolet Equinox. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Drive Range - Fifth Gear is used to maximize engine efficiency and fuel economy under most normal driving conditions. When operating conditions are appropriate, the TCM de-energizes the 2-3, 3-4 shift solenoid valve assembly (S2) to shift the transmission into Fifth gear. The manual valve remains in the DRIVE (D) position and line (2) pressure continues to feed the drive (19) fluid circuit.
