Line Pressure Control (LPC) Solenoid

The LPC solenoid is a VFS. The VFS is an electro-hydraulic actuator combining a solenoid and a regulating valve. It supplies the pressure which regulates transaxle line pressure. This is done by producing resisting forces to the main regulator and line modulator circuits. These 2 pressures control clutch application pressures.

The PCM has an adaptive learn strategy to electronically control the transaxle which will automatically adjust the shift feel. The first few hundred miles of operation of the transaxle may have abrupt shifting. This is a normal operation. The battery will need to be kept disconnected for approximately 20 minutes, if it has been disconnected, to reset the adaptive shift pressure strategy or use the scan tool to do the Keep Alive Memory (KAM) reset.
