The modulating valves (electronic clutch pressure control) are located on the lower left side of the transmission.With a stationary machine, the pressure of the oil in the transmission clutches can only be tested on the valve that is engaged when the transmission is in neutral. Refer to Systems Operation, Testing and Adjusting, "Power Train Pressures".With the transmission in neutral, if the pressure in the engaged valve is correct, the oil supply to the modulating valves (electronic clutch pressure control) is sufficient.The pressures for the remaining clutches must be measured on a moving machine. Refer to Systems Operation, Testing and Adjusting, "Power Train Pressures" for the correct procedure to test the pressures in the transmission clutches.If the transmission is observed to slip in one gear, a transmission clutch may not be functioning correctly. Use Table 2 in order to determine the transmission clutch that may not be functioning correctly.Testing The Modulating Valves (TH35)

The function of the solenoids can be tested by running a calibration of the transmission. It is possible to monitor pressures in the clutches when a calibration sequence is being run. The calibration will also alert the operator to any faults that are detected with the transmission clutches.Note: The pressures that can be observed during a calibration are not the full pressures of a clutch engagement. Use a 0 to 2750 kPa (0 to 400.0 psi) gauge to measure the pressures. From the pressures that are observed, it is possible to determine if the solenoid is functioning correctly, and if the solenoid is allowing the clutches to fill with
