Lock-Up Control System Diagram
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
Lock-up released
- In the lock-up control valve, there is operating fluid pressure circuit connected into the lock-up piston and lock-up solenoid operates valve shift in response to a signal from the A/T control unit.
Therefore, the lock-up piston is not coupled.
Lock-up applied
- During the lock-up applied status, lock-up apply pressure is generated having the lock-up control valve to L/U by the lock-up solenoid.
Therefore, press the lock-up piston to be coupled.
Smooth lock-up control
- A/T control unit (TCM) controls current value that is output to the lock-up solenoid when shifting lock-up applied state from lock-up released state.
Therefore the lock-up clutch is temporarily set to half-clutched state when shifting the lock-up applied state to reduce the shock.
Half-clutched state
- Changes current value that is output to the lock-up solenoid from A/T control unit (TCM) to gradually increase lock-up solenoid pressure.
In this way, the lock up apply pressure gradually rises and while the lock-up piston is put into half-clutched status, the lock-up piston operating pressure is increased and the coupling is completed smoothly.
