TOR CONV CLUTCH SV

DESCRIPTION
The torque converter clutch solenoid valve is activated, with the gear in "D4", by the TCM in response to signals sent from the vehicle speed and throttle position sensors. Lock-up piston operation will then be controlled.
Lock-up operation, however, is prohibited when A/T fluid temperature is too low.
When the accelerator pedal is depressed (less than 2/8) in lock-up condition, the engine speed should not change abruptly. It there is a big jump in engine speed, there is no lock-up.

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

COMPONENT INSPECTION
Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid Valve








Resistance check
- Check resistance between terminal (5) and ground.





Operation check
- Check solenoid valve by listening for its operating sound while applying battery voltage to the terminal (5) and ground.
