Diagnostic Routine N
Diagnostic Overview
P0740, P0741, P0742, P0743, P0744, P2760
Refer to Wiring Diagram Set 30 for schematic and connector information Electrical Diagrams.
Normal Operation and Fault Conditions
The TCM (Transmission Control Module) controls the TCC (Torque Converter Clutch) lock-up by varying the amount of current applied to the TCC (Torque Converter Clutch) solenoid. When no current is applied to the TCC (Torque Converter Clutch) solenoid, the TCC (Torque Converter Clutch) is fully released. When maximum current is applied, the TCC (Torque Converter Clutch) is fully applied.
When the TCC (Torque Converter Clutch), TCC (Torque Converter Clutch) solenoid, or TCC (Torque Converter Clutch) solenoid circuits are faulted, the following symptoms may be present:
- Failure Mode Effect Management action opens the transmission solenoid power control, removing power from all solenoids (get PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL and 5th gear as the only forward gear with TCC (Torque Converter Clutch) open/un-applied).
- Harsh engagements.
- Poor launch performance (due to 5th gear drive away).
- No TCC (Torque Converter Clutch) apply.
- No shifts.
DTC Fault Trigger Conditions
Visual Inspection and Diagnostic Pre-checks
- Inspect for damaged wiring harness
- Inspect for loose or damaged connectors
Pinpoint Test
NOTE: If the scan tool is unable to communicate with the TCM (Transmission Control Module), REFER to Diagnostic Routine AB: The Transmission Control Module (TCM) Does Not Respond To The Scan Tool Diagnostic Routine AB.
1. REVIEW TCM (Transmission Control Module) DTCs (Diagnostic Trouble Codes)
1. Connect a scan tool.
2. Ignition ON.
3. Retrieve and record all TCM (Transmission Control Module) DTCs (Diagnostic Trouble Codes).
Is DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) P0741 retrieved?
2. INSPECT FOR CORROSION OR TERMINAL DAMAGE
1. Ignition OFF.
2. Disconnect 6F35 Transmission C1520A.
3. Disconnect the TCM (Transmission Control Module).
4. Use a mirror to inspect both ends of each connector for damage or pushed out pins, corrosion, loose wires and missing or damaged seals.
Are both connectors free of any damage, corrosion, pushed-out terminals, loose wires, or missing or damaged seals?
3. CHECK THE TCC (Torque Converter Clutch) SOLENOID CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
1. Measure:
Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
4. CHECK THE TCC (Torque Converter Clutch) SOLENOID CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
1. Measure:
2. If DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) P2760 was retrieved during step 1, repeat the measurement while wiggling the wiring harness and connectors.
Is the resistance greater than 10,000 ohms?
5. CHECK THE TCC (Torque Converter Clutch) SOLENOID CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
1. Ignition ON.
2. Measure:
Is any voltage present?
6. CHECK THE RESISTANCE OF THE TCC (Torque Converter Clutch) SOLENOID FIELD CIRCUIT
1. Ignition OFF.
2. Measure and record:
3. Compare the recorded resistance value to the chart below.
Temperature to Resistance - TCC (Torque Converter Clutch)
Is the resistance within specifications?
7. CHECK THE SOLENOID BODY LEADFRAME FOR AN OPEN
1. Remove the solenoid body leadframe. REFER to Solenoid Body Leadframe .
2. Measure:
Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
8. CHECK THE TCM (Transmission Control Module) FOR CORRECT OPERATION
1. Prior to reconnecting any previously disconnected connector:
- inspect connector(s) (including any inline connectors) for pushed-out, loose or spread terminals and loose or frayed wire connections at terminals.
- inspect wire harness for any damaged, pinched, cut or pierced wires.
2. Connect the 6F35 Transmission C1520A.
3. Connect the TCM (Transmission Control Module).
4. Ignition ON.
5. Using a scan tool, perform TCM (Transmission Control Module) self-test to retrieve DTCs (Diagnostic Trouble Codes).
Is the concern still present?
