SOLENOID/PRESSURE
SWITCH ASSY
DESCRIPTION
The Solenoid/Pressure Switch Assembly (Fig. 379)
is inside the transaxle and mounted to the valve
body assembly. The assembly consists of four sole-
noids that control hydraulic pressure to the L/R, 2/4,
OD, and UD friction elements (transaxle clutches),
and the torque converter clutch. The reverse clutch is
controlled by line pressure from the manual valve in
the valve body. The solenoids are contained within
the Solenoid/Pressure Switch Assembly, and can only
be serviced by replacing the assembly.
The solenoid assembly also contains pressure
switches that monitor and send hydraulic circuit
information to the PCM. Likewise, the pressure
switches can only be service by replacing the assem-
bly.
