Symptoms

  • Check Engine Light
  • No torque converter lock-up
  • Reduced fuel economy on highway
  • Transmission overheating
  • Slight RPM flare at cruise

Common Causes

  • Faulty torque converter clutch solenoid
  • Wiring fault in solenoid circuit
  • Connector corrosion
  • Low transmission fluid level
  • EGS driver circuit failure

Diagnostic Steps

  1. Test TCC solenoid resistance
  2. Inspect wiring to solenoid
  3. Check transmission fluid level and condition
  4. Monitor TCC commanded vs actual engagement
  5. Check connector at transmission

Repair Notes

Replace the torque converter lock-up solenoid or repair the wiring fault.
