| Circuit/System Description |
The clutch pressure (PC) solenoid 3 is part of the control solenoid valve assembly, which has no serviceable components. The normally high clutch PC solenoid 3 regulates and directs the clutch PC solenoid 3 oil pressure to the R1/4-5-6 clutch regulator valve and 4-5-6 clutch boost valve. Increasing clutch PC solenoid 3 oil pressure increases oil pressure to the low and reverse clutch or the 4-5-6 clutch, depending on the position of the clutch select valve 2. The transmission control module (TCM) varies the current to the PC solenoid 3 through a low side driver. Decreasing the current to the clutch's PC solenoid 3 increases the clutch's PC solenoid 3 oil pressure by closing OFF the solenoid exhaust port. Increasing the current to the clutch's PC solenoid 3 decreases the clutch's PC 3 oil pressure by opening the solenoid exhaust port. The clutch's PC solenoid 3 power is supplied by the TCM through a high side driver (HSD). The HSD protects the circuit and components from excessive current flow. If excessive current flow is detected, the HSD will turn OFF. When the fault is corrected the HSD will reset.

| Circuit/System Verification |
| 1. |
Operate the vehicle in second gear long enough to ensure at least a 3°C (5°F) rise in TCM temperature, then operate the vehicle in Park for 5 seconds.
|
|
| 2. |
Operate the vehicle in Drive range. Allow the transmission to shift through all forward gear ranges. Verify with a scan tool the following test status parameters displays OK:
|
|
| • |
Pressure Control Solenoid Valve 3 Performance Test Status
|
| • |
Pressure Control Solenoid Valve 3 Control Circuit High Voltage Test Status
|
| • |
Pressure Control Solenoid Valve 3 Control Circuit Low Voltage Test Status
|
| 3. |
After you complete the steps described above, check the diagnostic trouble code is not reset by driving the vehicle according to the conditions for running diagnostic trouble codes (DTC). You can also drive the vehicle according to the conditions you see in Freeze Frame/ Failure records. If the vehicle passes the circuit/system verification procedure, then stop. Do not perform the circuit/system test or component test as this may result in unnecessary part replacement. Refer to
Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections
.

|
| Circuit/System Testing |
| 1. |
Remove control solenoid valve assembly Q8 with ignition OFF. See Replacing control solenoid valve assembly and transmission control module . |
|||||||
| 2. |
Perform the
Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Inspection
.
|
|
| 3. |
Place the Q8 control solenoid valve assembly on a clean work surface near the transmission assembly.
|
|
| 4. |
Connect the
DT-47825-20
harness between the vehicle wire harness X1 20-way transmission electrical connector, and the Q8 control solenoid valve assembly electrical connector.
|
|
| 5. |
Ignition ON, verify with a scan tool the following test status parameters display OK:
|
|
| • |
Pressure Control Solenoid Valve 3 Performance Test Status
|
| • |
Pressure Control Solenoid Valve 3 Control Circuit High Voltage Test Status
|
| • |
