Abstract
A hydraulic controller of an automatic transmission which releases the lockup clutch when it fails. An output port of a solenoid valve is connected to a port of a lockup control valve and a port of a garage shift valve. An output port of a solenoid valve is connected to a port of the lockup control valve and a port of the garage shift valve. At least one of the solenoid valves is freely duty-controlled. A pattern, which enables regular control of the automatic transmission in normal operation and does not allow the lockup clutch to change from its released state to its engaged state, is selected for use from among plural combinations of signal pressures of the solenoid valves.
