Yes, it has a solenoid to control tc lockup. Just like the GM's, when it fails in the ON position, it acts like a manual-shift tranny when one tries to stop w/o depressing the clutch--it stalls in forward or reverse. HTH, s

It closes or comes on in higher gears when the pcm wants lockup. You might check brake light switch for pcm first. If the solenoid is acting up replace it. A good repair manual or.
