6.2 DEFINITIONS
OBDII (EURO STAGE III OBD) Trip - A vehicle
start and drive cycle such that all once per trip
diagnostic monitors have run.
Key Start - A vehicle start and run cycle of at least
20 seconds.
Warm-up Cycle - A vehicle start and run cycle
such that the engine coolant must rise to at least
71C (160ÉF) and must rise by at least 4.4C (40ÉF)
from initial start up. To count as a warm-up cycle,
no DTC may occur during the cycle.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Symptom:
P0740-TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH CONTROL CIRCUIT
When Monitored and Set Condition:
P0740-TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH CONTROL CIRCUIT
When Monitored: During Electronically Modulated Converter Clutch (EMCC) Operation.
Set Condition: A) Transmission must be in EMCC, with input speed > than 1750 RPM.
TCC/L-R sol achieves the maximum duty cycle & can't pull engine RPM within 60 RPM of
input speed. B) Transmissions is in FEMCC & engine slips TCC > than 100 RPM for 10
seconds.
POSSIBLE CAUSES

INTERMITTENT OPERATION
INCORRECT FLUID LEVEL
INTERNAL TRANSMISSION PROBLEM - TCC OUT OF RANGE
TEST ACTION APPLICABILITY
1NOTE: Low fluid level can be the cause of many Transmission problems. If
the fluid level is low locate and repair the leak then check and adjust the
fluid level per the Service Information.
NOTE: Always perform diagnostics with a fully charged battery to avoid
false symptoms.
With the DRBIIIt, read the engine DTC's. Check and repair all engine DTC's prior
to performing Transmission Symptom Diagnostics.
With the DRBIIIt, read Transmission DTC's. Record all DTC's and 1 Trip Failures.
NOTE: Diagnose 1 Trip Failures as a fully matured DTC.
Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors.
Repair as necessary.
Perform the Shift Lever Position Test. If the test does not pass, refer to Symptom test
for P0705 Check Shifter Signal.
For Gear Ratio DTC's, check and record all CVI's.
Most DTC's set on start up but some must be set by driving the vehicle such that all
diagnostic monitors have run.
NOTE: Verify flash level of Transmission Control Module. Some problems
are corrected by software upgrades to the Transmission Control Module.
NOTE: Check for applicable TSB's related to the symptom.
Perform this procedure prior to Symptom diagnosis.All

P0740-TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH CONTROL CIRCUIT ÐContinued
Symptom:
P1793-TRD LINK COMMUNICATION ERROR
When Monitored and Set Condition:
P1793-TRD LINK COMMUNICATION ERROR
When Monitored: The transmission controller pulses the 12 volt TRD signal from the
PCM to ground, during torque managed shifts with the throttle angle above 54 degrees.
The TRD system is also tested whenever the vehicle is stopped and the engine speed is at
idle.
Set Condition: This code is set when the Transmission Control Module (TCM) sends two
subsequent torque reduction messages to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) via the
TRD link circuit and does not receive a confirmation from the PCM over the communica-
tion bus.
