•  The shift control solenoid component is installed on the front valve body. The solenoids linearly control hydraulic pressure in response to signals output from the TCM. Through this, it controls hydraulic pressure to the clutch (C1 clutch, C2 clutch, C3 clutch) and brakes (B1 brake, B2 brake) for smooth shifting. According to the combination of ON or OFF status of the shift control solenoid, the transaxle shifts from 1st gear into 6th gear and vice versa. As a fail-safe function, if any shift control solenoid abnormality occurs, the TCM will disable the current to the solenoids.
