TRANSMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (4L30±E)7A1±51
DTC P0724 Brake Switch Circuit High (Stuck Off)
D07R200007
Circuit Description:
The brake switch indicates brake pedal status to the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The brake switch is a
normally±closed switch that supplies battery voltage on
circuit BRN/RED to the PCM. Applying the brake pedal
opens the switch, interrupting voltage to the PCM. When
the brake pedal is released, the PCM receives a constant
voltage signal. If the PCM receives a zero voltage signal
at the brake switch input, and the Torque Converter
Clutch (TCC) is engaged, the PCM de±energizes the
Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid Valve (TCC Sol.
Valve). The PCM disregards the brake switch input for
TCC scheduling if there is a brake switch circuit fault
(Refer to
Diagnostic Aids).
When the PCM detects a closed brake switch circuit (12
volts, high input) during decelerations, then DTC P0724
sets. DTC P0724 is a type D DTC.
Conditions For Setting The DTC
No OSS Assy. DTCs P0722 or P0723.
The PCM detects a closed brake switch circuit (12
volts) without changing and the following events
occur seven consecutive times.
The vehicle speed is greater than 32 km/h (20 mph)
for 4 seconds.
then the vehicle speed is between 8±32 km/h (5±20
mph) for 4 seconds.
then the vehicle speed is less than 8 km/h (5 mph).
Action Taken When The DTC Sets
The PCM does not illuminate the Malfunction
Indicator Lamp (MIL).
DTC P0724 stores in PCM history.
Conditions For Clearing The DTC
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.
The PCM cancels the DTC default actions when the
fault no longer exists and the ignition is OFF long
enough in order to power down the PCM.
Diagnostic Aids
Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connection at the
PCM. Look for possible bent, backed out, deformed
or damaged terminals. Check for weak terminal
tension as well. Also check for a chafed wire that
could short to bare metal or other wiring. Inspect for a
broken wire inside the insulation.
When diagnosing for a possible intermittent short or
open condition, move the wiring harness while
observing test equipment for a change.
Check customer driving habits and/or unusual traffic
conditions (i.e. stop and go, expressway).
Check brake switch for proper mounting and
adjustment.

DTC P0730 Gear Error Without Input Speed
D07RY00055
Circuit Description
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) calculates the
slippage of the converter and transmission based
upon the engine speed, the output speed, and the
current gear ratio.
The slippage of the converter at a high enough engine
speed is low. The transmission should not slip more
than a given value when there is no shift.
This DTC detects a slip at each gear. This is a type
ªCº DTC.
Conditions For Setting The DTC

TRANSMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (4L30±E)
DTC P0742 Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) System Stuck On
D07R200008
Circuit Description
The PCM energizes the TCC solenoid by creating an
ignition voltage on circuit BRN/BLU. When ignition
voltage is energized by the PCM, the TCC solenoid stops
converter signal oil from exhausting. This causes
converter signal oil pressure to increase and move the
TCC valve. The TCC solenoid will deenergize when the
PCM no longer provides ignition voltage. When the TCC
solenoid is deenergized, it will exhaust fluid and release
the TCC.
This DTC detects low torque converter slip when the TCC
is commanded ªoffº. This is a type ªBº DTC.
Conditions For Setting The DTC
The following conditions occur once per TCC cycle, three
consecutive times:
No TPS DTCs P0122 or P0123.
No OSS DTCs P0722 or P0723.
No TCC solenoid DTC P1860.
TP angle is greater than 20%.
Engine speed is greater than 500 rpm and less than
3,000 rpm.
Engine vacuum is between 0 and 70 kPa.
Commanded gear is not 1st.
Gear range is D4.
TCC is commanded ªoffº.
No TCC Stuck off DTC P1870.TCC slip speed is between ±20 and 40 rpm for 2
seconds.
Vehicle speed is greater than 25 km/h (15 mph) and
less than 120 km/h (75 mph).
Speed ratio is greater than 0.9 and less than 2.0.
Action Taken When The DTC Sets
For lamp illuminate refer to DTC type definition (type
B).
Inhibit TCC engagement.
Conditions For Clearing The MIL/DTC
The PCM will turn off the MIL and CHECK TRANS
Lamp after three consecutive ignition cycles without a
failure reported.
The DTC can be cleared from the PCM history by
using a scan tool.
The DTC will be cleared from history when the vehicle
has achieved 40 warmup cycles without a failure
reported.
The PCM will cancel the DTC default actions when
the fault no longer exists and the ignition is cycled ªoffº
long enough to power down the PCM.

Diagnostic Aids
If the TCC is mechanically stuck ªonº with the parking
brake applied and any gear range selected, the TCC
fluid will mechanically apply the TCC, possibly
causing an engine stall.
