Symptom:
P-0740 TORQUE CONV CLUTCH, NO RPM DROP AT LOCKUP
When Monitored and Set Condition:
P-0740 TORQUE CONV CLUTCH, NO RPM DROP AT LOCKUP
When Monitored: Continuously when no matured or maturing Trouble Code and throttle
position >10% and constant for 4.4 seconds before TCC engagement requested: No TCC
solenoid circuit, any cam/crank-related code, VSS, any TPS-related code and Battery
voltage >11.0
Set Condition: Torque Converter malfunctions that are detected are the FTC not locking
up properly when desired, and the torque converter not unlocking properly when desired.
3 consecutive test failures over one trip will store the code. 2 bad trips will set the code.

Verification Tests
VERIFICATION TEST VER-1A APPLICABILITY
No Start Verification
Use this test to verify that a No Start condition has been repaired and that the vehicle can be
returned to the customer.
Note: If the Powertrain Control Module has been replaced and the correct VIN and
mileage have not been programmed, a DTC will be set in the ABS, Airbag and the
SKIM modules. In addition, if the vehicle is equipped with a Sentry Key Immobilizer
Module (SKIM), Secret Key data must be updated to enable starting. Refer to
GENERAL INFORMATION section for programming information for the PCM, SKIM
and the Transponder (ignition key).
1. Inspect the vehicle to ensure that all components related to the repair are connected
properly.
2. Inspect the engine oil for fuel contamination. Replace the oil and filter as necessary
3. Attempt to start the engine.
4. If the No Start condition is still present, refer to the symptom list and perform diagnostic
testing as necessary. Refer to any Technical Service Bulletins that may apply.
5. Run the engine for one warm-up cycle to verify proper operation. With the DRBIIIt, confirm
that no DTC's are present and that all components are functioning properly.
6. If DTC's are present, refer to the symptom list and perform diagnostic testing as necessary.ALL
VERIFICATION TEST VER-2A APPLICABILITY
Non-OBDII Verification
Use this test to verify that a non-OBDII symptom has been repaired and that the vehicle can
be returned to the customer. A non-OBDII symptom is a comprehensive component related
symptom that is not the result of a failed OBDII major monitor.
Note: If the Powertrain Control Module has been replaced and the correct VIN and
mileage have not been programmed, a DTC will be set in the ABS, Airbag and the
SKIM modules. In addition, if the vehicle is equipped with a Sentry Key Immobilizer
Module (SKIM), Secret Key data must be updated to enable starting. Refer to
GENERAL INFORMATION section for programming information for the PCM, SKIM
and the Transponder (ignition key).
1. Inspect the vehicle to ensure that all components related to the repair are connected
properly.
2. With the DRBIIIt, Clear DTC's and Reset Memory (all engine values).
3. Run the engine for one warm-up cycle to verify proper operation.
4. Road test the vehicle. Use all accessories that may be related to this repair.
With the DRBIIIt, confirm that no DTC's are present and that all components are functioning
properly.
6. If this test is being performed after a No Trouble Code test, verify that the symptom is no
longer present. If the symptom is still present, or any other symptom or DTC is present, refer
to the symptom list for further diagnostic testing procedures. Check for any Technical Service
Bulletins that may apply.
7. If there are no DTC's present and all components are functioning properly, repair is
