Purpose/Function
A direct linear solenoid has been adopted for the solenoid valve which contributes to improved shift response, drive feel and reduced shift shock by the improved precision of the hydraulic pressure control.
Construction
The control valve body consists of integrated hydraulic control related parts and electronic control related parts.
The transaxle range sensor, output shaft speed sensor, turbine/input shaft speed sensor, and the control valve body connector are built into the TCM and integrated with the automatic transaxle.
The transaxle fluid temperature (TFT) sensor, wiring harness, and the wiring harness cover bracket are built into the coupler component.
If any of the component parts of the control valve body has a malfunction, the control valve body must be replaced because the replacement of a single part is not possible except for the following parts:
On/off solenoid
Oil pressure switch A, oil pressure switch B
Coupler component (built into transaxle fluid temperature (TFT) sensor)

Engine Oil Pressure Warning Light
Purpose
The engine oil pressure warning light warns the driver that the engine oil
level is insufficient.
Function
When the instrument cluster receives the engine oil pressure warning light
request signal sent from the PCM via the CAN signal, it illuminates the engine
oi ...
