Park or Neutral - Engine Running (Park - Without Touch Activated Power)

When the gear selector lever is in the PARK (P) position and the engine is running, fluid is drawn into the oil pump and line pressure is then directed to the following control devices

Pressure Regulator Valve (313)

Regulates pump output (line pressure) in response to torque signal fluid pressure acting on the boost valve, spring force and line pressure acting on the end of the valve. Line pressure is directed to the manual valve, 3 accumulator valves, torque signal regulator valve, pressure relief valve, TCC regulator valve, #10 ball check valve and 2-3 shift valve, 3-2 manual downshift valve, 3-4 shift valve, 2-3 shift solenoid valve, #3 ball check valve and input clutch, and actuator feed limit valve.

Actuator Feed Limit Valve (414)

TCC Control (PWM) Solenoid

When conditions are appropriate, the PCM energizes the TCC control (PWM) solenoid to initiate the TCC apply. The solenoid is pulse width modulated (PWM) to provide a smooth TCC apply (refer to the electrical controls section for a detailed description of the TCC control (PWM) solenoid operation). When energized, the TCC control (PWM) solenoid modulates 2nd fluid into the TCC signal (PWM) fluid circuit.

TCC Regulator Valve

TCC signal (PWM) fluid pressure modulates the valve against spring force and TCC regulated apply fluid pressure. This action directs line pressure into the TCC regulated apply fluid circuit in relation to vehicle operating conditions.

TCC Control Valve

Modulated TCC signal (PWM) fluid pressure moves the valve against spring force in relation to vehicle operating conditions. This action regulates TCC regulated apply fluid into the TCC apply fluid circuit. At the same time, the TCC release fluid circuit is opened to an orificed exhaust. In this position the valve directs converter feed fluid to feed the cooler fluid circuit.

TCC apply fluid is routed to the torque converter clutch at the same time TCC release fluid exhausts from the torque converter clutch. TCC apply fluid pressure applies the TCC.

Release fluid also exhausts from the TFP manual valve position switch and the TFP manual valve position switch signals the PCM that the TCC is engaged.

Cooler Check Valve

Located in either the case cover or cooler line fitting depending on model. Allows cooler fluid to pass through the cooler and provide lubrication for the transmission. It also prevents converter drainback when the engine is off.

Number 1 Ball Check Valve (372)

Located in the case cover (400), blocks TCC release fluid while sending TCC apply fluid to the torque converter clutch blow-off valve (417-20).

Converter Clutch Blow-off Valve

Limits maximum TCC apply pressure to prevent torque converter damage.

Overdrive Range, Fourth Gear - Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) Applied (With Touch Activated Power)

The torque converter clutch applies during third or fourth gear operation after the powertrain control module (PCM) receives the appropriate input signals to energize the TCC control (PWM) solenoid. To apply the torque converter clutch, the following changes take place in the electrical and hydraulic systems

Overdrive Range, 4-3 Downshift - Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) Not Applied (Without Touch Activated Power)

When the transmission is operating in Fourth gear, a 4-3 downshift will occur if there is a significant change (increase) in the throttle position or if the load on the engine is increased. When the 4-3 downshift occurs, the torque converter clutch will release prior to the shift occurring which results in the following changes in the hydraulic system

Pressure Control (PC) Solenoid

During the downshift, except for a coastdown, the PCM senses the increase in throttle position or engine load and increases the PC solenoid duty cycle. The increase in duty cycle increases output fluid pressure from the PC solenoid, thereby increasing torque signal fluid pressure at the torque signal regulator valve.

Pressure Regulator Valve

Increased torque signal fluid pressure acting on the line boost valve increases line pressure at the pressure regulator valve.

TCC Control (PWM) Solenoid Valve

As the throttle position changes, the throttle position sensor provides input to the PCM indicating throttle angle. The PCM then lowers the ON/OFF cycle time of the TCC control PWM solenoid valve, lowering TCC signal (PWM) fluid pressure.

Lowered TCC signal (PWM) fluid pressure allows the valve to move with spring pressure, allowing converter feed fluid into the TCC release circuit. TCC release fluid is then routed to the torque converter pressure plate and disengages the torque converter clutch, TCC apply fluid from the torque converter clutch pressure plate is then routed back through its circuit to the converter clutch control valve. TCC apply fluid passes through the valve and enters the cooler circuit.

When the TCC is in the release position, TCC release fluid pressure is routed to the TFP manual valve position switch. This fluid pressure signals the PCM that the TCC is in the released position.

De-energizes, allowing 1-2, 3-4 signal fluid at the 3-4 shift valve (362) to exhaust through the solenoid.

When 1-2, 3-4 signal fluid exhausts, spring force moves the valve allowing 4th clutch fluid to exhaust through the valve.

Fourth Clutch fluid is exhausted at the 3-4 shift valve and the driven support ball check valve. Fourth clutch return spring pressure moves the fourth clutch piston and releases the fourth clutch.

4th Clutch fluid exhausts from the accumulator. Spring force and 3-4 accumulator feed fluid pressure move the accumulator piston to the Third gear position.

The accumulator valve regulates line pressure into the 3-4 accumulator fluid circuit to fill the 3-4 accumulator. This regulation is basically controlled by torque signal fluid pressure. Increased torque signal fluid pressure regulates accumulator fluid to a higher pressure. Note: The clutch and band application information is the same as Overdrive Range - Third Gear.
