A solenoid actuated valve is controlled in response to the determination. The solenoid actuated valve is configured to responsively produce a relief valve pilot signal . The two-way relief valve is controllably shifted in response to the inputted relief valve pilot signal . At least one of a high pressure by-pass valve and a low pressure by-pass valve is selected in response to the two-way relief valve shifting.
