Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid: Description and Operation

COMPONENT PARTS

CVT CONTROL SYSTEM : Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid Valve

- The torque converter clutch solenoid valve is installed to control valve.
- The torque converter clutch solenoid valve controls the torque converter clutch control valve. For information about the torque converter clutch control valve, refer to , "MECHANICAL SYSTEM : Component
Description".
- The torque converter clutch solenoid valve utilizes a linear solenoid valve [N/L (normal low) type].
NOTE:
- The principle of the linear solenoid valve utilizes the fact that the force pressing on the valve spool installed inside the coil increases nearly in proportion to the current. This allows it to produce a fluid pressure that is proportional to this pressing force.
- The N/L (normal low) type does not produce hydraulic control when the coil is not energized.
