WJ AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - 42RE 21 - 137
TRANSMISSION TEMPERATURE SENSOR (Continued)
OPERATION • Regulator valve
The PCM prevents engagement of the converter • Regulator valve throttle pressure plug
clutch and overdrive clutch, when fluid temperature • Line pressure plug and sleeve
is below approximately 10°C (50°F). • Kickdown valve
If fluid temperature exceeds 126°C (260°F), the • Kickdown limit valve
PCM causes a 4-3 downshift and engage the con- • 1-2 shift valve
verter clutch. Engagement is according to the third • 1-2 control valve
gear converter clutch engagement schedule. • 2-3 shift valve
The overdrive OFF lamp in the instrument panel • 2-3 governor plug
illuminates when the shift back to third occurs. The • 3-4 shift valve
transmission will not allow fourth gear operation • 3-4 timing valve
until fluid temperature decreases to approximately • 3-4 quick fill valve
110°C (230°F). • 3-4 accumulator
• Throttle valve
Throttle pressure plug
VALVE BODY
•
• Switch valve
• Manual valve
DESCRIPTION • Converter clutch lock-up valve
The valve body consists of a cast aluminum valve • Converter clutch lock-up timing Valve
body, a separator plate, and transfer plate. The valve • Shuttle valve
body contains valves and check balls that control • Shuttle valve throttle plug
fluid delivery to the torque converter clutch, bands, • Boost Valve
and frictional clutches. The valve body contains the • 10 check balls
following components (Fig. 254), (Fig. 255), (Fig. By adjusting the spring pressure acting on the reg-
256), and (Fig. 257): ulator valve, transmission line pressure can be
adjusted.
