Torque Converter Operation Test

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Mercury Montego, 2006 Ford Freestyle, and 2006 Ford Five Hundred. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: The torque converter clutch will not engage if the transmission fluid temperature is below 0°C (32°F).
  1. Using the special tool, make sure that the transmission fluid temperature is within specification 43-47°C (109-117°F).
  2. Accelerate the vehicle to 35-60 km/h (22-37 mph) and maintain a consistent speed.
  3. Release the accelerator pedal to close the throttle and press the accelerator to partially open the throttle while monitoring the special tool engine speed and TCC PID 194D. The TCC PID on the special will read 0 when the TCC clutch is released, and 1 when the TCC is applied. The engine speed will increase when the TCC is released and decrease when the TCC is applied.
  4. If these actions do not occur, refer to DIAGNOSIS BY SYMPTOM .
