Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Shift Solenoid E (SSE): Notes
SSE is an ON/OFF solenoid. When SSE is in the ON position, SSD controls the clutch regulator and latch valves to apply the low/reverse clutch. When SSE is in the OFF position, SSD controls the clutch regulator and latch valves to apply the overdrive (4, 5, 6) clutch. Refer to HYDRAULIC CIRCUITS for additional information.
SSE is supplied hydraulic pressure from the SOL FD circuit. When SSE is OFF, the solenoid supply is blocked and the outlet port (ON/OFF SIG circuit) is connected to the exhaust port. When SSE is ON, the exhaust port is blocked and the solenoid supply is connected to the outlet port (ON/OFF SIG circuit), supplying pressure to the clutch control bypass valve.
