When Monitored:
- No other DTCs set.
- TCC is commanded on.
Set Condition:
- Engine speed minus Input speed is greater than or equal to 200 rpm for five seconds for two consecutive ignition cycles.
| Possible Causes |
|---|
| TORQUE CONVERTER |
| INTERNAL TRANSMISSION HARNESS |
| STICKING OR LEAKING LINEAR SOLENOID 3 |
| VALVE BODY |
| TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (TCM) |
Always perform the AS68RC Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. Refer to Standard Procedure .
- CHECK IF DTC IS CURRENT
- Using the scan tool, read TCM DTCs.
- Record the Environmental Data and any DTCs.
- Clear DTCs.

- Read TCM DTCs.NOTE:
If there are any other Engine and/or Transmission DTCs, diagnosis those first.
Did the DTC reset?
Yes
- Go To 2.
No
- Go To 4.
- CHECK THE TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH (TCC) OPERATION
- Clear Transmission DTCs.
- Road test the vehicle in a condition that will enable TCC lock up.
- Using the scan tool, record the Engine speed and the Transmission Input speed during TCC lock up.
- Using the set condition listed above, calculate the TCC slip rpm.
Is the TCC slip rpm greater than or equal to 200 rpm?
Yes
- Go To 3.
No
- Using the schematics as a guide, check the Transmission Control Module (TCM) pins, terminals, and connectors for shorts, corrosion, damage, or terminal push out. Pay particular attention to all power and ground circuits. If no problems are found, replace and program the TCM in accordance with the Service Information.
- CHECK INTERNAL TRANSMISSION
- Turn the ignition off to the lock position.
- Remove the transmission oil pan.
- Check the internal transmission harness, pins, terminals, and connectors for shorts, corrosion, damage, or terminal push out.
