Full Lock-up

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Honda Odyssey and 2005 Honda Odyssey. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

When the vehicle speed increases, the PCM sends a signal to the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve C to increase LS C pressure (58). The LS C pressure (58) is applied to the lock-up control valve and the lock-up timing valve, and moves them to the left side. Under this condition, torque converter back pressure is released fully, causing the torque converter clutch to be fully engaged.

NOTE: When used, "left" or "right" indicates direction on the hydraulic circuit.
