• When the engine is running, the following control limits apply:
• The transmission range must be in Park or Neutral. If the transmission range is not Park or Neutral, the message "Engine running and transmission range is not Park/Neutral" appears on the scan tool display.
• The solenoid remains ON until commanded OFF, and vice versa. When the output control is exited, the solenoid state is determined by the TCM.
• Transmission range DTCs must not be active. If a transmission range DTC is active, the message "Engine running with transmission DTC present" appears on the scan tool display.

Line Pressure Control Solenoid Valve

• The scan tool is used to request pressure in increments of 207 kPa (30 psi) from 0–1862 kPa (0–270 psi). The TCM will then command the solenoid to achieve the requested pressure.
• When the ignition is ON, and the engine is OFF, the pressure request may be controlled within calibrated limits. There are no limits to the output control when the engine is OFF.
• When the engine is running, the following control limits apply:
• When the transmission range is Park or Neutral, the pressure request may be controlled within calibrated limits. The engine speed must be less than 1,500 RPM. If the engine speed is greater than 1,500 RPM, the message "TR in park/neutral and engine speed over 1,500 RPM" appears on the scan tool display.
• When the transmission range is not Park or Neutral, the requested pressure can only be controlled equal to or greater than the pressure determined by the TCM. The TCM does not allow a pressure to be selected that may cause damage to the transmission. If the requested pressure is less than allowed by the TCM, the message "Requested pressure for the Line PC Solenoid is too low" appears on the scan tool display.
• Transmission range DTCs must not be active. If a transmission range DTC is active, the message "Engine running with transmission DTC present" appears on the scan tool display.

Clutch PC Solenoids:

• The transmission range must be in Park or Neutral. If the transmission range is not Park or Neutral, the message "Engine running and transmission range is not Park/Neutral" appears on the scan tool display.
• The solenoid remains ON until commanded OFF, and vice versa. When the output control is exited, the solenoid state is determined by the TCM.

• When the ignition is ON, and the engine is OFF, there are no limits to this control. The scan tool shift solenoid states change to match the Commanded Gear selected.
• When the engine is running, the following control limits apply:
• The TCM does not allow a shift if it causes the engine RPM to exceed a calibrated limit. If a gear is requested and the engine speed is too high, the message “Engine speed too high” appears on the scan tool display.
• The TCM does not allow a 3–2 or 2–1 downshift if the vehicle speed exceeds a calibrated limit. If either downshift is requested and the vehicle speed is too high, the message “Eng. is on and veh. speed too hi for 3–2 or 2–1 downshift” appears on the scan tool display.
• The TCM does not allow a 4–3 downshift if the vehicle speed exceeds a calibrated limit. If a 4–3 downshift is requested and the vehicle speed is too high, the message “Vehicle speed too high” appears on the scan tool display.
• The TCM does not allow an upshift if the vehicle speed exceeds a calibrated limit. If an upshift is requested and the vehicle speed is too high, the message “Vehicle speed too high” appears on the scan tool display.
• The TCM does not allow an upshift that is greater than the current selected transmission range (PRNDL). For example, 3rd gear is not allowed if the transmission range is D2. If an upshift is requested that is greater than the current selected transmission range, the message “Eng. running and gear request is greater than the current TR” appears on the scan tool display.
