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 a normally-closed switch. When the TCC is released, TCC release fluid pressure opens the TCC release switch, which opens the TCC release pressure circuit. When the voltage on the circuit is high (switch open), the PCM recognizes that the TCC is no longer engaged.
If the PCM detects that the TCC release switch is closed when the TCC is commanded off, then DTC P0742 sets. DTC P0742 is a type "A" DTC.
