Valve Body: Notes

The valve body (electrohydraulic selector unit) is located in the automatic gearbox. It is covered by the transmission oil sump. The valve body sets the drive and brake clutches to the correct hydraulic pressure.

A selector switch is triggered in the valve body by the cable on the selector lever. The gear selector valve regulates the transmission oil (main pressure) as a function of the selector lever position in relation to the corresponding solenoid valves in the transmission.

The following components for transmission control are also located in the valve body:

• Oil temperature sensor
• Solenoid valves (2x)
• Pressure control valves (6x).

The valve body is connected to the EGS control unit by two multiple pin connectors (on the gearbox housing).
