Lock-Up Control: Notes

The TCM has pre-programmed lock-up clutch engagement and disengagement conditions for each gear and shift pattern. In addition, it specifies engagement of the clutch whenever the 4th gear is selected in the D range. The engagement and disengagement conditions are defined in terms of the throttle valve position and vehicle speed.
The TCM controls the operation of the lock-up clutch by means of the duty solenoid which in turn controls the lock-up control valve as described below.
