Electronically Modulated Converter Clutch (EMCC) "95" Model

This function is designed to eliminate EMCC shudder during partial torque converter engagement. It will properly prepare the EMCC prior to controlling the torque converter at low levels of torque converter slip. The EMCC function is not available on the 1996 model.

Service and production TCMs maintain break in status in three phases:

1) Start Phase [0 to 310 km (0 to 193 miles)] only full engagement (no partial) of the EMCC is available.

2) In Progress [310 to 932 km (193 to 579 miles)] partial engagement of the EMCC, with progressive slip based on mileage.

3) Complete [over 932 km (579 miles)] partial engagement of the EMCC with 60 rpm slip.

Perform the EMCC Break In Function under the conditions shown:

1) If the torque converter has been replaced on the vehicle.

2) After moving a TCM from one vehicle to another.

EMCC Break In Features Special Information:

1) Always reset the EMCC break in status after replacing the EMCC material or rebuilding or replacing the torque converter.

2) If an unused TCM is removed from one vehicle and installed on another, reset the EMCC break in status.

Using a TCM that is in the "In Progress" or "Complete" phase in a vehicle with new EMCC clutch material or a new torque converter can cause poor EMCC shift quality and/or damage to the torque converter clutch. Also, operating a TCM that is in the "Complete" phase in a vehicle with an "In Progress" phase EMCC clutch material or torque converter can have the same results.
