P0740 TORQUE CONVERTER
P0740 TORQUE CONVERTER
DescriptionINFOID:0000000003771890
 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 accelera tor pedal position sensor (throttle position sensor).
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.

On Board Diagnosis LogicINFOID:0000000003771892
 This is an OBD-II self-diagnostic item.
 Diagnostic trouble code “P0740” with CONSULT-III 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 CauseINFOID:0000000003771893
 Torque converter clutch solenoid valve
 Harness or connectors (The solenoid circuit is open or shorted.)
DTC Confirmation ProcedureINFOID:0000000003771894
CAUTION:
