Torque Converter Clutch: Description and Operation
4L60-E Automatic Transmission
The Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) system uses controls that are internal as well as external to the transmission.
The TCC system includes the following external control components:
-
Cruise Control Release Switch-In order to avoid stalling the engine when braking, the converter clutch releases anytime the brake pedal is applied.
-
Powertrain Control Module (PCM)-The PCM receives input signals and grounds TCC solenoid to apply clutch when the proper operating
conditions are met.
-
Throttle Position (TP) Sensor-The TP Sensor sends throttle position information to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
-
Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS)-The VSS sends vehicle speed information to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
-
Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor-The MAP Sensor sends engine vacuum (load) information to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
-
Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor The ECT Sensor sends engine coolant temperature information to the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM).
