The TCC solenoid is used in the transaxle control system to control the application, modulation and release of the torque converter clutch.

The TCC control solenoid is installed on the front valve body. Based on engine RPM, throttle opening degree signals and speed sensor signals, it linearly controls clutch hydraulic pressure. Through this, engagement and slip are controlled. As a fail-safe function, if any control solenoid assembly abnormality occurs, the TCM will disable the current to the TCC solenoid.
