Circuit Description
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
The torque converter clutch (TCC) solenoid is used to engage the lock-up clutch. The powertrain control module (PCM) outputs system voltage to turn ON/energize or remove voltage to turn OFF/de-energize to control the hydraulic pressure to the lock-up valve within the transaxle. The TCC solenoid is always OFF in 1st and 2nd gears. The TCC is ON in 3rd and 4th gears when the PCM deems it appropriate.
