The effect of solitoninduced transparency (SOIT) that arises for a weak pulse that interacts with one of allowed transitions of inhomogeneously broadened threelevel atoms with the V configuration of the levels under the action of a selfinduced transparency so liton that simultaneously interacts with the adjacent transition is studied theoretically. The effect is explained by phasing of the ensemble of dipoles oscillating with different frequencies in the soliton field. The weak pulse is locked by the soliton, so that both pulses propagate with the same velocity independently of the ratio of the propagation constants. If the latter are equal, the weak pulse loses no energy; when they are different, the rate of energy loss is considerably slower than it follows from Beer's law.
