[quote author=Kashif post=75386736]Your car engine speed and gear input speed are not equal when the computer commands lockup. It's one of the following:

the solenoid is bad (stuck),
the relay valve is stuck,
The torque converter clutch is bad.

A good scan tool can test the solenoid while still in the gear. Your solenoid should be an on/off type so should be heard clicking during test, with key on engine off. This test will eliminate the solenoid as the culprit.

If the solenoid clicks and does not kill the engine when activated with key on engine running, your tech should focus on the gear box and torque converter.

For most gears, reversing the relay valve will keep the TCC circuit applied, and will lurch the car forward at cranking. If this does not happen, then my money is on the TC.

Something else; to confirm what the computer is seeing, your tech needs to look at live data when driving, and compare the engine and input speed when lockup is commanded. It should be 1:1.

A bit more technical for you but, a good tech will understand. Good luck!


For now, i have only experience a little increased in fuel consumption. Am the type that monitor my fuel guage often thats why i could notice it, if not i might probably not even know. Car still drive normal.

[quote author=dapotemi post=75401382][/quote]Boss Kashif, Thank you very much for this. Though, like you said, its very technical for me.

How long can i drive the car before it will degenerate into bigger prob.

Do u have an idea how much it will take to fix it, assuming the culprit is number one, two or three.

My schedule for the next 3 month will be so tight, i can only give someone that can help me go and fix.

I will expect your reply and most importantly, can i bring the car to you to fix.

Thank u sir.

Car Talk › Re: What Is a "scam" in auto repair? by dapotemi: 12:36pm On Jan 16, 2019
Scam is highly relative; what u see as scam might just be *choice* to someone else.
But the truth is, whether you're a mech or biz man u want to make profit from your skills or your product or BOTH at the same TIME. That is not a scam, how much u make depend on so many factors.
I once had a biz (pls dont ask me which biz), and i charge you base on APPEARANCE; If u appear rich i charge u exorbitantly and most times client will pay with few or no complains, but some times i just charge little if u appear like the troublesome/broke ones, but not at a LOSS, i still MUST make my profit tho; so most times i use profit from client A to cover up deficit from client B.
For me, 99% of Nigerians (People i meet everyday) wants to charge or make 100% profit in whatever they are selling; even if its SKILLS.
Look at a scenerio, a mech was in his workshop from 8am till 5pm without no single customer, he's thinking about rent for the day, phcn/diesel, staff salary, hes not happy as expected; you showed up at 5:30pm and he wants to take everything he felt he has lost since morning from your pocket, immediately he jacked up his prices because he has bills to pay and you're the ONLY one for the day. Most Kazeems even do daily contribution(Akawo), so he wants to make his daily contribution from you alone. Is that a SCAM, I THINK ITS NOT; because you have a CHOICE! WALK AWAY! That is only if the car can still move tho. Lol
What we charge is strongly influenced by the nig system. It is easy to go out of biz.
