Full Lock up

When the vehicle speed increases, the PCM controls A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve C to increase LS C pressure (58). The LS C pressure (58) is applied to the lock up control valve and the lock up timing valve, and moves them to the left side. Under this condition, torque converter back pressure is released fully, causing the torque converter clutch to be fully engaged.

NOTE: When used, "left" or "right" indicates direction on the hydraulic circuit.
