DTC P0740 TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH SOLENOID VALVE
Revision: August 20072004 QX56
DTC P0740 TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH SOLENOID VALVEPFP:31940
DescriptionUCS002E7

The torque converter clutch solenoid valve is activated, with the gear in D4 , D5 by the TCM in response
to signals sent from the vehicle speed sensor and accelerator pedal position sensor (throttle position sen-
sor). Torque converter clutch piston operation will then be controlled.

Lock-up operation, however, is prohibited when A/T fluid temperature is too low.

When the accelerator pedal is depressed (less than 1/8) in lock-up condition, the engine speed should not
change abruptly. If there is a big jump in engine speed, there is no lock-up.
CONSULT-II Reference ValueUCS002E8
On Board Diagnosis LogicUCS002E9

This is an OBD-II self-diagnostic item.

Diagnostic trouble code “TCC SOLENOID/CIRC” with CONSULT-II or P0740 without CONSULT-II is
detected under the following conditions.
–When TCM detects an improper voltage drop when it tries to operate the solenoid valve.
–When TCM detects as irregular by comparing target value with monitor value.
Possible CauseUCS002EA

Torque converter clutch solenoid valve

Harness or connectors
(The solenoid circuit is open or shorted.)
DTC Confirmation ProcedureUCS002EB
CAUTION:
Always drive vehicle at a safe speed.
