What is TCC in a transmission?

What is TCC in a transmission?

Purpose. The Transmission / Transaxle Converter Clutch (TCC) System uses a solenoid operated valve in the automatic transmission to couple the engine flywheel to the output shaft of the transmission/transaxle through the torque converter. This reduces the slippage losses in the converter, which increases fuel economy.

Where is the TCC solenoid located on a 4L60E?

In essence, the TCC solenoid is like a computer controlled on and off switch for your 4l60e’s torque converter lock up. Where Is The TCC Solenoid Located The 4l60e TCC Solenoid is located on the front passenger side of the transmission near the valve body. The image below shows the locations of various solenoids.

When does the TCC disengage in a manual transmission?

The TCC is very similar to the clutch in a manual transmission. When engaged, it makes a direct physical connection between the engine and transmission. Generally, the TCC will engage at about 50 mph and disengage at about 45 mph. The TCC solenoid is what actually causes the TCC to engage and disengage.

What does the TCC solenoid do on a toque converter?

What Does The TCC Solenoid Do? The main function of the toque converter clutch or TCC solenoid is to send pressurized fluid to the torque converter’s clutch allowing it to achieve lock up in 4th gear based on a signal from the engine control module (ECM).

How does the Transmission Control Module ( TCM ) work?

The TCM uses this signal to control the TCC. ECT: The engine coolant temperature sensor monitors engine coolant temperature. The TCM uses this input to delay the TCC application until the engine reaches operating temperature. MAF: The mass airflow sensor informs the PCM of engine load.
