Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) receives a signal from PCM. TCC solenoid controls application, modulation and release of TCC. If solenoid fails in ON position, vehicle engine will run rough (shudder) and engine may stall in Drive at low idle speeds. If solenoid fails in OFF position, TCC will not engage.
