Liberty 4WD V6-3.7L (2009)
The TCC was installed to improve the efficiency of the torque converter that is lost to the slippage of the fluid coupling. Although the fluid coupling
provides smooth, shock-free power transfer, it is natural for all fluid couplings to slip. If the impeller (3) and turbine (5) were mechanically locked
together, a zero slippage condition could be obtained. A hydraulic piston (6) with friction material (7) was added to the turbine assembly (5) to provide
this mechanical lock-up.
In order to reduce heat build-up in the transmission and buffer the powertrain against torsional vibrations, the TCM can duty cycle the L/R-CC Solenoid
to achieve a smooth application of the torque converter clutch. This function, referred to as Electronically Modulated Converter Clutch (EMCC) can
occur at various times depending on the following variables:
-
Shift lever position
-
Current gear range
-
Transmission fluid temperature
-
Engine coolant temperature
-
Input speed
-
Throttle angle
-
Engine speed
