Ts 2.6 torque converter actuation
G'day guys, in the last couple of days my ts2.6 auto has been misbehaving.
At 100kmh the torque converter has been unlocking when under light load for no reason. Goes between locking and unlocking 6 or so times then back to normal.
Goes 5-15mins before happening again.
What I'd like to know, is how the torque converter actuated? Is it by a computer or by vacuum?
Cheers
it's computer controlled. I would bet that the caps in your trans ECU are leaking.
Bugger. Where is the module located? Might have have to pull out and check the contacts. If no good then will see if I can get one at the wreckers
Under the center console from memory - can get to it from the driver and/or passenger footwell.
torque converter lock solenoid
the TR does have tranny fault codes using LED light flashes
you sure it isnt the over drive clutches ? or end clutch seals
yes the TCU is under the radio screwed to the floor three plugs type
you can reach the plugs from the side to try another TCU before ripping the console out

if you dont have the money to service it, you can cut that wire to the lock-up clutch... or disconnect the yellow/red wire on your temp sender (sits on the intake manifold). the TCU does not engage the lock-up clutch when the engine is cold - so not sending it a signal means it thinks the motor is cold all the time... the shift patterns change a little
bit though
the red wire going into the gearbox
goes to the solenoid torque converter lock

Interesting. On the weekend I gave it a full service including fuel filter and new water pump. I also changed the valve stem seals and fitted new lifters.
I may have disturbed the wires from the coolant sensor.
Will investigate further later this week.
there are two senders
just check
used to be one under the inlet manifold on the dissy side
and the visible one on top

It's a TS. Would they both be located under the dizzy?
