P0742

DTC P0742 TCC Stuck On:

Torque Converter Circuits:

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

The Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid Valve (TCC Sol. Valve) acts on the hydraulic fluid, controlling TCC apply and release. When the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) detects 3 occurrences of TCC slip between -20 and +20 RPM when the TCC is commanded OFF, then DTC P0742 sets. DTC P0742 is a type B DTC.


CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC

^ No Throttle Position (TP) DTCs P0122 or P0123

^ No Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) DTC P0502

^ No TCC Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) solenoid electrical DTC P1860

^ No TCC enable solenoid electrical DTC P1864

^ The engine has been running for 5 seconds.

^ Not in fuel shut off

^ The engine speed is more than 500 RPM.

^ The PCM has commanded the TCC OFF.

^ The commanded gear is not 1st.

^ The transmission gear indicates 2nd, 3rd or 4th.

^ The throttle angle is more than 14%.

^ The engine torque is 135-230 Nm (100-170 lb ft).

^ The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) is 0-105 kPa (0-15 psi).

^ The TCC slip speed is -20 to +20 RPM, 3 occurrences for 8 seconds.

ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS

The PCM illuminates the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) after two consecutive trips with a failure reported.


CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING THE MIL/DTC

^ The PCM turns OFF the MIL after three consecutive ignition cycles without a failure reported.

^ A scan tool can clear the DTC from the PCM history. The PCM clears the DTC from the PCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without a failure reported.


DIAGNOSTIC AIDS

^ Check for PRNDL DTC P0705. DTC P0705 affects transmission operation. This may set DTC P0742 falsely.

^ Inspect the transmission fluid for debris.


TEST DESCRIPTION

The step number below refers to the 3tep numbers on the diagnostic table.

2. A TCC slip speed of -20 to +20 RPM indicates that this DTC is not current. Refer to the Diagnostic Aids. Inspect for PRNDL DTC P0705.
