Line Pressure Solenoid STH Control
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 12 other vehicles, including the 2014 Volvo XC90, 2013 Volvo XC90, 2012 Volvo XC90, 2011 Volvo XC90, and 2010 Volvo XC90. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Line pressure solenoid STH controls the reference pressure for the transmission. The reference pressure in turn controls the system pressure in the transmission so that the system pressure in gear D varies between 0.28 - 1.2 MPa (R position: 0.5 - 1.8 MPa). Solenoid control is directly dependent on the signal from the throttle position (TP) sensor. The higher the signal from the throttle position (TP) sensor the greater the reference pressure and therefore line pressure.
Measurement range: 0 - 100 %
0 % control, minimal reference pressure, gives lowest line pressure.
100 % control, maximum reference pressure, gives highest line pressure.
