When warmed up, in third or fourth gear, above about 45 mph, the Engine Computer turns on the solenoid to open a valve so transmission fluid under pressure goes into a special port in the torque converter to apply the lockup clutch.

Chrysler pioneered the lockup clutch, among a lot of other things, and first used it in 1977 with their big block engines, and in '78 with the small block and six-cylinder engines. Those were hydraulically controlled but functioned the same way.
