Monitor Description

Based on the signals from the throttle position sensor, the air flow meter and the crankshaft position sensor, the ECM sends a signal to solenoid (SL) valve to regulate the hydraulic pressure and provide smoother torque converter engagement. Solenoid (SL) valve responds to commands from the ECM. The valve controls the lock-up relay valve to perform the torque-converter lock-up function. If the ECM detects a short to ground in the solenoid (SL) valve circuit, it will illuminate the MIL and store the DTC.
