Full Lock-up

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2014 Honda Ridgeline, 2013 Honda Ridgeline, 2012 Honda Ridgeline, 2011 Honda Ridgeline, and 2010 Honda Ridgeline. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

When the vehicle speed further increases, the PCM actuates A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve C to increase A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve C pressure (58). A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve C pressure (58) is applied to the lock-up control valve and the lock-up timing valve, and the lock-up control valve and the lock-up timing valve moves to the left side. Torque converter pressure (94) from the left side of the torque converter releases at the lock-up control valve, and the lock-up timing valve uncovers the torque converter pressure port (91) leading to the right side of the torque converter. Torque converter back pressure is released fully, and the torque converter clutch is engaged fully.

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