For a view of the oil flow diagrams, refer to the 1996 TURM manual.

When you start the vehicle, the oil pump generates fluid flow from the transmission sump through the filter and into the pump. Filtered transmission fluid is directed to the pressure regulator valve.

Pressure Regulator Valve: The pressure regulator valve regulates line pressure according to various driving conditions. The converter feed pressure is directed to the torque converter hydraulic system. Regulated line pressure is directed to the torque converter clutch regulated apply valve, the actuator feed limit valve, and the manual valve.

Torque Converter Clutch Regulated Apply Valve (TCCRAV): Line pressure is supplied to the TCCRAV to be utilized in other gear ranges.

Actuator Feed Limit Valve: This valve regulates the actuator feed pressure to the 1-2, 2-3, 3-4 shift valves, to the pressure control solenoid, and to the 1-2 and 2-3 shift solenoid valves.

Manual Valve: The line pressure from the pressure regulator valve is supplied to the manual valve in order to be utilized in other gear ranges. In Park range, line pressure is directed as PRND43, PRND4, and PRN fluid pressure.

Automatic Transmission Fluid Pressure Manual Valve Position Switch (TFP Val. Position Sw.) Assembly: PRND4 and PRND43 fluid pressures from the manual valve are directed to their respective switches on the TFP Val. Position Sw. ASM. This sends a signal to the PCM that the transmission is in Park range.

1-2 Shift Solenoid (1-2 SS) Valve: When the 1-2 SS Valve is energized, signal A fluid pressure forces the 1-2 shift valve to the extreme left against a spring force.

2-3 Shift Solenoid (1-2 SS) Valve: When the 2-3 SS Valve is de-energized, signal B fluid exhausts through the solenoid. A spring force holds the 2-3 Shift Valve to the extreme right.

1-2 Shift Valve: Signal A fluid pressure holds the 1-2 Shift Valve to the left against a spring force.

2-3 Shift Valve: Spring force holds the 2-3 Shift Valve to the extreme right. This action blocks the PRND4 fluid pressure at the 2-3 Shift Valve.

3-4 Shift Valve: Spring force and PRN fluid pressure hold the 3-4 Shift Valve to the extreme right.

Front Servo: PRND43 fluid pressure from the manual valve is directed to the front servo. This pressure assists the spring force in holding the front servo off.
