Circuit Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Cadillac DTS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The transmission control module (TCM) controls the torque converter clutch (TCC) solenoid valve pulse width modulation (PWM). The solenoid controls the hydraulic fluid for TCC apply and release. When the vehicle is accelerating, the TCM commands the TCC to be disengaged.
If the TCM detects a low TCC slip from -20 to +400 RPM, when the TCC is commanded OFF, then DTC P0742 sets. DTC P0742 is a type B DTC.
