Torque Converter Clutch Electrical Controls for Chevrolet Camaro 1996
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). |
