P2701 FORD Description
The intermediate (SSPC-C), low/reverse (SSPC-E) and overdrive (SSPC-B) clutches are each controlled by a directly proportional variable force shift (VFS) solenoid. The coast (SSPC-A) and the direct clutch (SSPC-D) are each controlled by an inversely proportional VFS. All shift pressure solenoids are electronically controlled by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) which varies the current from 0 to 1 amp (directly proportional) or 1 to 0 amp (indirectly proportional).
The PCM monitors the Overdrive Clutch. The Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set when the PCM has detected a failure within the overdrive clutch system.
