Lock-Up Control

Shift solenoid valve C and A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve D control the hydraulic pressure to switch the lock-up shift valve and lock-up ON and OFF. When the PCM actuates shift solenoid valve C and A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve D ON, lock-up starts. A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve D applies and regulates hydraulic pressure to the lock-up control valve to control the amount of lock-up. The lock-up mechanism operates in D (during accelerating: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th gears/during decelerating: 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th gears), S with automatic shift mode (during accelerating: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th gears/during decelerating: 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th gears), and S with sequential sportshift mode (during accelerating: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th gears/during decelerating: 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th gears).
