The 1-2 Shift Solenoid (SS) Valve

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Cadillac DTS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The 1-2 SS valve is energized (turned ON) by the PCM, blocking the exhaust port through the solenoid. This creates high pressure in the 1-2 shift solenoid valve circuit. Solenoid pressure holds the 1-2 shift valve in the downshifted position. This pressure is also routed to the 3-4 shift valve.
