4. Operation
To activate the lock up in High speed Auto Mode; press the bottom down on the 3 way switch. This will illuminate
the Green Led light to show the Auto mode is active. When the vehicle is driven and the lock up speed is
achieved, 85km/h the torque converter will lock, The Amber led will come on to show locked converter. The
converter will remain locked until slowing to below the unlock speed, 80km/h.
When the switch is in the centre position and no lights are illuminated, the lock up controller is in-active, the torque
converter is controlled by the factory ECU signals only.
To activate the Low Speed Lock Up, press the top down on the 3 way switch. This will illuminate the Amber led to
show the Low Speed Setting is active. The Torque Converted will automatically lock at 35km/h and then unlock
below 30km/h. It is important that when driving in this Low Speed Setting you select the gears as if driving a
manual vehicle. This prevents any lugging on the motor by the transmission being in a too higher gear. The Green
Led light will come on when 85km/h is reached to show that high speed auto mode is active in the background.
NOTE: The first use of the electronic torque converter lock up kit may create a hot electrical smell inside the
vehicle. THIS IS NORMAL. The smell is coming from the resistor as it heats for the first time since new. This will
only last for approx. 5 minutes until operating temperature has been achieved. The smell should not re-occur after
this period or after first time use.
The controller is pre-configured out of the shop for automatic lock up at approx. 80km/h. We suggest this is the
ideal speed when driving in the 'D' Mode with a locked converter. When slowing from speeds above 75 where the
converter is locked, you do not have to disengage the converter as it is automatically un-locks the torque
converter at approx. 75km/h.
These settings have been chosen through many processes and testing and allows the best control and subtle
locking and unlocking actions. It also allows the vehicle to slow from highway speeds to 80km/h zones while
maintaining a locked converter for accelerating back to highway speeds, ie traveling through country town.
The Fitting of this kit is done so at your own risk. Richards Auto Electrical will not warrant any failures caused by
