LOCK-UP AND SELECT CONTROL SYSTEM: System Description: Notes

2013 Nissan-Datsun Juke SL, 4WDSECTION Notes
  • The torque converter clutch piston in the torque converter is engaged to eliminate torque converter slip to increase power transmission efficiency.
  • The torque converter clutch control valve operation is controlled by the torque converter clutch solenoid valve, which is controlled by a signal from TCM. The torque converter clutch control valve engages or releases the torque converter clutch piston.
  • When shifting between "N" ("P") β†’"D" ("R"), torque converter clutch solenoid valve controls engagement power of forward clutch and reverse brake.
  • The lock-up applied gear range was expanded by locking up the torque converter at a lower vehicle speed than conventional A/T models.
  • If the CVT fluid temperature is low or the vehicle is in fail-safe mode due to malfunction, lock-up control is prohibited.
