Diagnostic Aids

A road test may be necessary to verify customer complaint. If the "SCAN" tester indicates TCC is turning "ON" and "OFF" erratically, check the state of the 4th gear switch to be sure it is not changing states under a steady throttle position. If the switch is changing, check connections and wire routing carefully. Also if 4th gear switch is always open, the TCC may engage as soon as sufficient oil pressure is reached.
