Park or Neutral - Engine Running (Park)

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, Torque Converter Clutch (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)
Line pressure is routed to the valve and limited to a maximum pressure as it passes through the valve and enters the actuator feed circuit. Actuator feed is then routed to the pressure control solenoid valve and into the 1-2, 3-4 shift solenoid valve.

Pressure Control (PC) Solenoid Valve (322)
Controlled by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), the PC solenoid valve regulates filtered actuator feed pressure entering the torque signal circuit. Torque signal fluid is then routed to the pressure regulator valve, the 1-2, 2-3 and 3-4 accumulator valves.

Torque Signal Regulator Valve (321)
Regulates line pressure into the torque signal fluid circuit. This regulation is controlled by filtered actuator feed fluid pressure from the PC solenoid valve.

Line Pressure Relief Valve (324)
Exhausts line pressure above 1,690-2,480 kPa (450-360 psi).

Manual Valve (404)
The manual valve is moved to the NEUTRAL position and blocks line pressure from entering the Reverse fluid circuit. The reverse fluid circuit is opened to an exhaust at the manual valve.

Transmission Fluid Pressure (TFP) Manual Valve Position Switch Assembly (34)
The Transmission Fluid Pressure(TFP) manual valve position switch assembly is a device containing five hydraulically activated (normally open) pressure switches which are monitored by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The switches close or open electrical circuits when hydraulic fluid acts on the diaphragm inside the switches to provide information to the PCM regarding the position of the manual valve. In PARK, TCC release pressure is routed to the TFP manual valve position switch, signaling to the PCM that TCC is released.

1-2, 3-4 Shift Solenoid Valve (315A)
Controlled by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), the 1-2, 3-4 Shift Solenoid (SS) valve is energized (On) in PARK range. Actuator feed pressure moves the 1-2 shift valve (318) against spring pressure and directs line fluid into the 1-2, 3-4 signal passage. 1-2, 3-4 signal fluid is then directed to the 3-4 shift valve (362).

2-3 Shift Solenoid Valve (315B)
Controlled by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), the 2-3 Shift Solenoid (SS) valve is energized (On) in PARK range and directs line pressure into the 2-3 signal passage. 2-3 signal fluid directed to the 4-3 manual downshift valve (360) and moves the valve against spring pressure, and also the 3-2 manual downshift valve (356).

1-2 Shift Valve (318)
1-2 signal fluid pressure holds the valve in the downshifted position against spring force.

2-3 Shift Valve (357)
In PARK range, line pressure passes through the 2-3 shift valve (357) and line pressure feeds the input clutch feed passage. Line pressure then passes through the 3-4 shift valve (362) and around the #3 ball check valve (372), located in the case cover) in order to apply the input clutch. Although the input clutch is applied and the input sprag is holding, these conditions are not effective because neither the forward band assembly (688) nor the reverse band assembly (615) is applied.

1-2, 2-3 and 3-4 Accumulator Valves (350, 344, 341)
Line pressure is regulated into accumulator fluid pressure. This regulation is basically controlled by torque signal fluid pressure acting on the end of the valve.

1-2, 2-3 and 3-4 Accumulator Assemblies
Accumulator fluid is routed to each of the accumulator assemblies in preparation for upshifts. The fluid routed to the 1-2, 2-3 and 3-4 accumulators is orificed.

Pressure Regulator Valve (313) (Torque Converter/Cooler and Lube Circuits)
Line pressure at the valve enters the converter feed circuit which is then routed to the TCC control valve.

TCC Control Valve (335)
Spring pressure holds the valve in the released position. Converter feed fluid is directed to the release circuit. Release fluid seats #1 ball check valve and feeds the Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) blow-off. Release fluid feeds the TCC on the cover side of the pressure plate, exits the TCC through the apply circuit, then feeds the cooler circuit at the TCC control valve. Cooler fluid passes through the ball check valve, through the cooler, then returns to the transmission and feeds the rear lube circuit. A front lube circuit is fed from orificed line pressure.
