Pinpoint Test H : Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) Solenoid

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. Refer to Transmission Controls - 6F15 for schematic and connector information.

    Normal Operation and Fault Conditions 

    The PCM controls torque converter lock-up by varying the amount of current applied to the TCC solenoid. When no current is applied to the TCC solenoid, the TCC is fully released. When maximum current is applied, the TCC is fully applied.

    DTC Fault Trigger Conditions
