Circuit Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Buick Regal, 2002 Buick Century, 2001 Buick Regal, and 2001 Buick Century. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The TCC release switch is part of the Transmission Fluid Pressure (TFP) manual valve position switch. The TFP manual valve position switch is mounted to the transaxle valve body. The TCC release switch is normally closed.

The switch signals the PCM that the TCC is released. This is accomplished by torque converter release fluid pressure acting on the switch contact which opens the circuit. When the circuit voltage is high, the PCM recognizes that the TCC is no longer engaged.

If the PCM determines that the TCC release switch is open (indicating that the TCC is not applied) and the TCC slip speed indicates that the TCC is applied, then DTC P1887 sets. DTC P1887 is a type "B" DTC.
