No Lock-up

The pressurized fluid regulated by the modulator works on both ends of the lock-up shift valve. Under this condition, the pressures working on both ends of the lock-up shift valve are equal, the lock-up shift valve is moved to the right side by the tension of the valve spring alone. The fluid from the ATF pump will flow through the left side of the lock-up clutch to the torque converter; that is, the lock-up clutch is in OFF condition.

NOTE: When used, "left" or "right" indicates direction on the hydraulic circuit.
