Theory of Operation
The Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) Solenoid is used to engage the TCC which improves fuel economy. The Over-
drive Solenoid is used to engage the gear change from third to Overdrive.
When Monitored:
Continuously with the ignition on and the engine running.
Set Condition:
This DTC will set if the expected engine RPM drop does not occur within 4 seconds of the gear change being
requested by the PCM three consecutive failed tests.
Possible Causes
