Operation
Torque converter clutch (TCC) release operation
•The TCM sends an OFF signal to TCC solenoid valve to release the TCC. In this condition, the TCC control
valve is pushed to the up side by spring force and line pressure, and torque converter pressure acts on the
torque converter front chamber, releasing the TCC from the converter cover.

Torque converter clutch (TCC) engaging operation
•The TCM determines smooth TCC operation. It sends an ON signal to the TCC solenoid valve to push the TCC
control valve to the down side. Consequently, the hydraulic pressure applied to the torque converter front
chamber is drained through the TCC control valve, engaging torque converter clutch.
Coast TCC
•Even when the accelerator pedal is released in the TCC range at high speeds, the TCC remains engaged to
prevent repetition of TCC engagement/release by depressing/releasing the accelerator pedal, as well as
reducing shock during the operation.

Determination of Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) Cancellation
The TCC control is canceled when any of the following condition are met:
•Engine coolant temperature is low.
•ATF temperature is low.
•Brake switch is on (when depressing the brake pedal).
•Accelerator depressing speed and accelerator opening angle are above the set value.
•Engine speed signal is below the set value.
•Failure is in the TCC control system detected by diagnosis function.

Memory Function
•The memory function stores failure information detected in the failure detection function. Once failure
information is stored, the memory will not be cleared even when the ignition switch is turned off (LOCK
position) or the malfunction is repaired.
•The stored memory (failure information) can be cleared by using the WDS or disconnecting the negative
battery cable.
Failure Indication Function
•The failure indication function illuminates the AT warning lights when the failure detection function determines
there is a malfunction.

X : Available
CCM:Continuous monitor
Fail-safe Function
•In the fail-safe function, minimum vehicle drivability is obtained by changing the signals that are determined as
malfunctions by the failure detection function to the preset values, and limiting the TCM control.

MECHANICAL SYSTEM TESTA6E571401030209Mechanical System Test Preparation
1. Apply the parking brake and use wheel chocks at the front and rear of the wheels.
2. Inspect the engine coolant. (See Section E.)
3. Inspect the engine oil. (See D–8 ENGINE OIL INSPECTION.)
4. Inspect the ATF levels. (See K2–79 Automatic Transaxle Fluid (ATF) Level Inspection.)
5. Inspect the idle speed and ignition timing in P position. (See F1–22 IDLE SPEED INSPECTION (4WD).)
Line Pressure Test
Note
•Line pressure cannot be measured on the JA5AX-EL automatic transaxle. Measure the low clutch
pressure in place of D and M range line pressures. Measure the reverse clutch pressure in place of R
position line pressure.
1. Engine idling.
(1) Perform mechanical system test preparation. (See K2–72 Mechanical System Test Preparation.)
Warning
•Removing the plug when the ATF is hot can be dangerous. Hot ATF can come out of the opening
and badly burn you. Before removing the square-head plug, allow the ATF to cool.
(2) Remove the plug and O-ring shown in the
figure.
