Pinpoint Test H : Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid

  1. H1 RETRIEVE AND RECORD ALL DTCS

    • Using the diagnostic scan tool, retrieve all DTCs.

    Are DTCs P0740, P0742, P0743, P0744 and/or P2760 present? 

    Yes  For DTCs P0740, P0743 and P2760, GO to  H2. For DTC P0742 and P0743, GO to  H4. For DTC P0743 and P0744, GO to  H6.
    No  GO to Symptom Chart .

  2. H2 CHECK THE TCC SOLENOID CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
