System Description

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

The ECM uses signals from the throttle position sensor, air-flow meter, turbine (input) speed sensor, intermediate (counter gear) speed sensor and crankshaft position sensor to help determine the engagement timing of the lock-up clutch. The ECM monitors the engagement of the clutch using the turbine (input) speed sensor, intermediate (counter gear) speed sensor and crankshaft position sensor.

Then the ECM compares the engagement condition of the lock-up clutch with the lock-up schedule in the ECM memory to detect shift solenoid valve SL, valve body and torque converter mechanical problems.
