Purpose/Function
The on/off solenoid performs switching of the shift valve in the control valve body according to the vehicle conditions.
Construction
The on/off solenoid is installed to the solenoid control valve body.
The on/off solenoid is a normal open-type on/off solenoid.

Operation
Non-energization (OFF)
When the on/off solenoid is off, the supply port in the solenoid opens. As a result, hydraulic pressure is supplied to operate the shift valve.
Energized (ON)
When the on/off solenoid is on, the drain port in the solenoid opens. As a result, hydraulic pressure which operates the shift valve is drained.
