Best Answer

the TCC,, torque converter clutch,,,, used on tree speed transmission in the 80's GM and on 4 speed automatics, the solenoid reads the speed of the transmission (car) and sends the signal to the computer which identifies that the car has reached proper crusing speed and is not under heavey load (full throttle) it then "locK" the torque converter to not allow any slippage like a standard automatic torque converter, basically making the torque converter act like a clutch,,, thus the name TCC torque converter clutch hope that helps,,

What is a torque converter solenoid?

The Torque Converter Clutch, (TCC) solenoid is what actually causes the TCC to engage and disengage. When the TCC solenoid receives a signal from the ECM, it opens a passage in the valve body and hydraulic fluid applies the TCC. When the ECM signal stops, the solenoid closes the valve and pressure is vented causing the TCC to disengage. If the TCC fails to disengage when the vehicle comes to a stop, the engine will stall. This is a common problem with older GM vehicles.

TCC is not a sensor. It is a function controlled by the PCM using a solenoid. There is no such thing as a TCC sensor. There is no such thing as a tcc solenoid.There are two solenoids, an on/off solenoid and a shift solenoid, that is located inside the transmission on the valve body assembly. It is necessary to access the valve body inside the transmission to replace the solenoids.
