Theory Of Operation

The Line Pressure Solenoid regulates the Line Pressure (Oil Pump discharge pressure) which is controlled by the Transmission Control Module (TCM). If the line pressure does not reach at the desired pressure due to driving conditions, the possibility of belt slippage can occur. The gear ratio changes to a value beyond the maximum gear ratio which is a calculation between the Primary Pulley speed and the Secondary Pulley speed. If the gear ratio exceeds a predetermined limit a DTC will set.
