Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid: Description and Operation

SOLENOID VALVE BODY ASSEMBLY
The solenoid valve body assembly contains the transmission fluid temperature (TFT) sensor, as well as five powertrain control module (PCM) controlled output devices:
- electronic pressure control (EPC) solenoid
- shift solenoid No. 1 (SS1)
- sift solenoid No. 2 (SS2)
- 3-2 timing/coast clutch solenoid (3-2 T/CCS)
- torque converter clutch (TCC) solenoid

DESCRIPTION
The powertrain control module controls the operation of the transaxle through wiring to the solenoid valve body assembly mounted on the main control assembly. An electrical connector from the solenoid valve body assembly fastens to the top of the transaxle case, where it connects to PCM wiring.

SERVICE
The solenoid valve body assembly is serviced as one part when any of its components require replacement.
