Diagnostic Fault Information






Circuit/System Description

The torque converter clutch (TCC) pressure control solenoid controls pressure which is proportional to the current. The transmission fluid pressure from the TCC pressure control solenoid is directed to another valve which regulates the transmission fluid flow and pressure through the torque converter clutch valve to control the rate of TCC apply and release.

The transmission control module (TCM) provides B+ to the TCC solenoid, pressure control solenoid 1 (PCS1), and the modulated main pressure control (PC) solenoid valve through a separate solid state device called high side driver 1 (HSD1). The TCM uses a low side driver to control the current flow to the TCC pressure control solenoid. The TCM controls the current to the solenoid by changing the amount of time that the low side driver is on.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

P2761, P2762, and P2763

* DTCs P2761, P2762, and P2763 are Type B DTCs.

* TCM inhibits TCC.

P2764

* DTC P2764 is a Type B DTC.

* TCM inhibits reverse.

DTCs P2761, P2762, P2763, and P2764 are Type B DTCs.

Diagnostic Aids

P2761

* You may have to drive the vehicle in order to experience a condition.

* If DTC P2761 is accompanied by DTC P0960 and/or DTC P2727 the open is most likely in the HSD1 circuit.

P2763 and P2764

You may have to drive the vehicle in order to experience a condition.

Circuit/System Verification

1. If DTC P0657, P0658, or P0659 was set, diagnose those DTCs first.

2. Ignition ON, engine OFF, command the TCC Control Solenoid ON and OFF with a scan tool. Observe the scan tool TCC PC Sol. Pressure Command parameter. The TCC PC Sol. Pressure Command parameter should change from 0 kPa (0 psi) to 1,600 kPa (232 psi).

If the parameter does not change between the specified values

Refer to Circuit/System Testing below.

If the parameter changes between the specified values

3. Clear the TCM DTCs.

4. Perform the Road Test Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview. Verify with a scan tool that DTC P2761, P2762, P2763, or P2764 did not set.

If DTC P2761, P2762, P2763, or P2764 set

Refer to Circuit/System Testing below.

If DTC P2761, P2762, P2763, or P2764 did not set

5. After performing the above steps, verify that the DTC does not reset by operating the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions you observe from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data. If the vehicle passes the Circuit/System Verification procedure, then STOP. Do not perform the Circuit/System Testing or Component Testing as this may result in an unnecessary part replacement. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections.

Circuit/System Testing

Note:
You must perform the Circuit/System Verification first.

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the 20-way X175 vehicle harness connector at the transmission.

2. Ignition ON, engine OFF.

3. Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the vehicle harness X175 transmission connector B+ circuit terminal L and ground.

If the test lamp does not illuminate

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the 80 way vehicle harness connector at the K71 transmission control module.

2. Test for infinite resistance between the X175 vehicle harness transmission connector B+ circuit terminal L and ground.

If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.

If infinite resistance

3. Test for less than 2 ohms between the X175 vehicle harness transmission connector B+ circuit terminal L and the vehicle harness transmission control module connector terminal 11.

If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.

If less than 2 ohms, replace the K71 transmission control module.

If the test lamp illuminates

4. Connect a test lamp between the X175 vehicle harness transmission connector torque converter clutch (TCC) pressure control (PC) solenoid valve control circuit terminal J and the B+ circuit terminal L.

5. Command the TCC Control Solenoid ON and OFF with a scan tool. Verify the TCC PC Sol. Pressure Command parameter changes from 0 kPa (0 psi) to 1,600 kPa (232 psi). The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
