Circuit/System Description

The torque converter clutch (TCC) pressure control (PC) solenoid is part of the control solenoid valve assembly which has no serviceable parts.

The TCC PC solenoid is a normally low pressure control solenoid. The TCC PC solenoid regulates transmission fluid to the TCC regulator valve in

the lower valve body and the TCC control valve in the pump cover. When vehicle operating conditions are appropriate to apply the converter

clutch, the transmission control module (TCM) will increase TCC PC current flow (duty cycle) to the TCC solenoid. The TCC PC solenoid directs

fluid pressure to move the TCC control valve to the apply position, and moves the TCC regulator apply valve to the regulating position. The TCC

regulator valve regulates TCC apply fluid pressure proportional to TCC solenoid pressure. When the TCC is fully applied, the engine is coupled

directly to the transmission. TCC release is accomplished by the TCM decreasing current flow to the TCC PC solenoid. This results in decreasing

the apply pressure which allows the TCC control valve to move to the release position. The TCM calculates torque converter slip speed based on

engine speed and transmission input shaft speed.
