Abstract
A multi-speed planetary transmission is operable in at least nine forward speed ratios, at least one reverse speed ratio, and at least one neutral speed ratio. A hydraulic control system for the transmission includes a hydraulic default control system and is operable to a default configuration when a default condition occurs during operation of the transmission. The hydraulic control system defaults to a forward default gear ratio during operation of the transmission in a first forward speed ratio and defaults to a default neutral speed ratio during operation of the transmission in a reverse speed ratio when a default condition occurs. The default condition may be a transmission control module ('TCM') power failure.
