Main Control: Notes

The hydraulic system has a main control assembly. The main control assembly consists of a valve body and a solenoid body. The valve body contains the hydraulic regulator and multiplex shift valves. The solenoid body contains the shift solenoids that control the hydraulic valves. The solenoid body is serviced as an assembly and can not be disassembled. The solenoid body is controlled by the PCM. The PCM has software stored in it specific to the solenoid body currently in the transaxle, called the solenoid body strategy. A new solenoid body strategy must be downloaded into the PCM any time a new solenoid body is installed.
