Main Control Components
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Torque converter housing |
| 2 | Pump assembly |
| 3 | Transmission case |
| 4 | Main control-to-transmission case separator plate |
| 5 | Valve body |
| 6 | Solenoid body assembly |

The main control assembly consists of a valve body and a solenoid body. Both the valve body and the solenoid body contain hydraulic shift valves. The solenoid body contains the shift solenoids that control the hydraulic valves. The solenoid body can be serviced as an assembly with the solenoids or the solenoids can be serviced individually. The solenoid body is controlled by the PCM. The PCM has software stored in it specific to the solenoid body currently in the transmission, called the solenoid body strategy. A new solenoid body strategy must be downloaded into the PCM anytime a new solenoid body is installed.
The pump assembly contains the main pressure regulator valve assembly and the TCC control valve assembly.

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
