SOLENOID FUNCTION

· System pressure solenoid LPS (Line Pressure Solenoid) - Controls system pressure in the
transmission by directing the hydraulic oil to clutch, shifting, cooling flow, and then
returning the oil to the oil sump.
· Solenoid for cooling flow CCFS (Clutch Cooling Flow Solenoid) - Controls hydraulic oil
for cooling of clutches.
· Multiplex solenoid SHCMS (Shift Cooling Multiplex Solenoid) - Controls position of
gearshift forks as well as cooling of clutch.
· Multiplex solenoid CSMS1 (Clutch Shift Multiplex Solenoid) - Leads the pressure between
Odd clutch and shifting, activates Odd gears as well as controls cooling flow for clutches.
· Multiplex solenoid CSMS2 (Clutch Shift Multiplex Solenoid) - Leads the pressure between
even clutch and shifting, controls cooling flow for clutches and can turn off the valve for
dumping clutch pressure CPCUT to regain clutch pressure.
· Solenoid for clutch pressure Odd gears CSPS1 (Clutch Shift Pressure Solenoid) - Controls
hydraulic pressure for Odd clutch or shifting.
· Solenoid for clutch pressure even gears CSPS2 (Clutch Shift Pressure Solenoid) - Controls
hydraulic pressure for even clutch or shifting.
· Valve for dumping clutch pressure CPCUT (Clutch Pressure Cut) - Safety valve that
controls pressure-dumping in the hydraulic system.
· Shift solenoid SHSS1 (Shift Select Solenoid) - Controls shifting for gearshift fork 1 and 3.
· Shift solenoid SHSS2 (Shift Select Solenoid) - Controls shifting for gearshift fork 2 and 4.
Closed/open solenoids
The solenoids that are closed/open are the CSMS1,CSMS2, SHCMS, SHSS1 and SHSS2.
These have only 2 positions, completely closed or fully open. The solenoids control valves
that lead the hydraulic pressure to the desired system. Depending on system pressure and
temperature, the Transmission control module (TCM) calculates the current that needs to be
triggered to respective solenoid. The triggered current to the solenoids is not returned, which
means that diagnostics of the solenoids is limited to only being able to see if they are off or
on.
Linear solenoids
Linear solenoids (CCFS, LPS, CSPS1 and CSPS2) are controlled by a pulse-width modulated
(PWM) current to enable linear or gradual control of the hydraulic pressure. The pulse-width
modulated current induces a magnetic field that moves a core inside the solenoid. The solenoid
can control the pressure by gradually opening or closing valves.
The triggered current to the solenoids is returned to Transmission control module (TCM), which
means that more advanced diagnosis is possible.

The Line Pressure Solenoid not listed in the chart is turned on to drop line pressure
throughout various shift sequences as needed for smooth shift transitions.

The SHCMS On/Off sequence listed below is different than what Volvo information
provides. This sequence was determined via a hydraulic schematic produced by ATSG.
