What is a torque converter clutch solenoid circuit stuck on?
If you have a P0742 diagnostic trouble code, it means the solenoid that controls the torque convertor clutch is stuck in the ‘on’ position, which could impact drivability. Need a replacement transmission? Get an estimate for replacement transmissions and local installation.
Can I drive on po741?
When the check engine light illuminates and I have the P0741 code on my car, can I drive it? If your code P0741 is red, you can still drive the vehicle, just keep in mind that it couldn’t pass a smog test. Drive-ability problems can occur when the torque converter clutch is malfunctioning.
Can you bypass a torque converter clutch solenoid?
To bypass the shift and TCC solenoids, you simply need to connect standard 194 light bulbs to these individual circuits coming from the PCM and then connect the other side of the bulbs to ignition B+. The light bulbs will then serve as a “load” which will simulate the solenoids.
What may occur when the torque converter clutch won’t release?
When the ECM signal stops, the solenoid closes the valve and pressure is vented causing the TCC to disengage. If the TCC fails to disengage when the vehicle comes to a stop, the engine will stall.
What would cause a torque converter to lock up?
Engine temperature too cold – most converters will not lockup until the coolant reaches about 120°F. 2. Overdrive unit locked out – when an automatic overdrive is “locked-out” the torque converter lockup feature will also be locked out.
