TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS Ð GENERAL DESCRIPTION
TCM Terminals and Reference Value (Cont'd)
AT-59

DescriptionNLAT0055The torque converter clutch solenoid valve is activated by the TCM
in response to signals sent from the vehicle speed and throttle
position sensors. Lock-up piston operation will then be controlled.
Lock-up operation, however, is prohibited when CVT fluid tempera-
ture is too low.
When the accelerator pedal is depressed (less than 2/8) in lock-up
condition, the engine speed should not change abruptly. If there is
a big jump in engine speed, there is no lock-up.
