Abstract:
A multi-pressure hydraulic control system (66, 166) for use with a dual clutch automatic transmission (14) of a vehicle powertrain system (10) includes a least one pump (28) including a rotatable pump member (34), at least one inlet region (40) for receiving fluid to be pumped by the pump member (34), and at least one outlet region (42) for outputting fluid pumped by the pump member (34), and a switching valve (78, 178) receiving at least two separate outputs of fluid pumped by the at least one pump (28) for allowing the at least two separate outputs to be selectively combined and/or separated, the switching valve (78, 178) having a valve member being movable between at least three positions that produces fluid outputs having at least three fluid pressures of a high fluid pressure, a medium fluid pressure, and a low fluid pressure to one or more portions of the dual clutch automatic transmission (14).
