What the Lock-Up Solenoid Does

The lock-up solenoid controls:

• Torque converter lock-up

• Shift timing and engagement

When it fails, symptoms may include:

• Harsh shifting
• Delayed gear engagement
• Transmission slipping
• Check engine or transmission codes
• Poor fuel economy

Basically, your transmission starts making questionable decisions.
