Drive Range, First Gear (Gen 2/Hybrid)

As the vehicle speed increases, the transmission control module (TCM) receives input signals from the automatic transmission input and output speed sensors, throttle position sensor and other vehicle sensors to determine the precise moment to de-energize or "turn OFF" the shift solenoid, and to command OFF the normally-high R1/456 pressure control solenoid.

Low & Reverse Clutch Releases

Shift Solenoid

The shift solenoid is commanded OFF allowing shift solenoid fluid pressure to exhaust from the clutch select valve, the default override valve, and the TCC regulator apply valve.

Clutch Select Valve

Shift solenoid fluid is exhausted from the clutch select valve and clutch select valve spring force moves the valve to the released position. This allows R1 fluid pressure to pass through the valve into the exhaust backfill circuit. Drive fluid from the manual valve passes through the clutch select valve and enters the drive 1-6 fluid circuit. Drive 1-6 fluid is routed to the R1/4-5-6 clutch regulator valve, the 3-5-reverse clutch regulator valve, and the TCC regulator apply valve.

Low and Reverse Clutch

Low and reverse clutch spring force moves the low and reverse clutch piston to release the low and reverse clutch plates and force R1 fluid to exhaust from the case assembly. The exhausting R1 fluid is routed to the clutch select valve where it enters the exhaust backfill circuit.

Fluid Pressure Directed in Preparation for a Shift

R1/456 Pressure Control (PC) Solenoid

The R1/456 PC solenoid is commanded OFF allowing PCS R1/456 clutch fluid to exhaust from the R1/4-5-6 clutch regulator valve and the R1/4-5-6 clutch boost valve.

R1/4-5-6 Clutch Regulator Valve

R1/4-5-6 clutch regulator valve spring force moves the valve to the released position, allowing R1/456 clutch feed fluid to enter the exhaust backfill circuit, and drive 1-6 fluid to enter the latch fluid circuit. Latch fluid is routed to the #1 ball check valve.

#1 Ball Check Valve

Latch fluid pressure seats the #1 ball check valve against the 456 clutch fluid circuit. Latch fluid is then directed to the clutch select valve. Latch fluid combines with clutch select valve spring force and holds the valve in this position during all six forward gear ranges.

#2 Ball Check Valve

Drive 1-6 fluid pressure seats the #2 ball check valve against the 35 reverse clutch feed fluid passage, and is directed into the 35 reverse clutch feed/drive 1-6 circuit. 35 reverse clutch feed/drive 1-6 fluid is routed to the #3 ball check valve.

#3 Ball Check Valve

35 reverse clutch feed/drive 1-6 fluid pressure unseats the #3 ball check valve and is directed to the 3-5-reverse clutch regulator valve.

Fluid Pressure Directed in Preparation for Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) Apply

TCC Regulator Apply Valve

Drive 1-6 fluid is routed to the TCC regulator apply valve in preparation for TCC apply.
