Lock-up Control
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Honda Odyssey, 2003 Honda Odyssey, and 2002 Honda Odyssey. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The torque converter clutch solenoid valve controls the hydraulic pressure to switch the lock-up shift valve and lock-up ON and OFF. The PCM actuates the torque converter clutch solenoid valve and the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve C to control the torque converter clutch lock-up on. When the torque converter clutch solenoid valve is ON, the condition of the lock-up starts. The A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve C regulates and applies the hydraulic pressure to the lock-up control valve to control the amount of the lock-up. The lock-up mechanism operates in 3rd, 4th, and 5th gears in the D position, and 3rd gear in the D3 position.
