P2769
P2769-TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH CIRCUIT LOW
For a complete wiring diagram, refer to the Wiring Information.
Theory of Operation
The Transmission Control Module monitors two signals from the TCC Solenoid during normal operation. One is the feedback electric current of the TCC Solenoid and the other is the voltage between ground and the TCM termination for the TCC Solenoid.
- When Monitored:
Ignition on, engine running with the transmission in a valid forward gear.
Vehicle speed greater than 10 Km/h (6 mph).
Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) greater than 12.5%.
Engine rpm greater than 450 rpm with TCC lock-up enabled.
TCC Lock up command is ON (True).
No DTCs active from the following:
- Step motor
- Line Pressure Solenoid,
- Secondary Solenoid
- Input and Output Speed Sensor
- Primary or Secondary Pressure Sensor
- CAN Bus
- Set Condition:
If the actual voltage is 70% of the target voltage for the period of 1.0 second. It takes two consecutive problem identification trips for the DTC to mature and illuminate the MIL.
Always perform the CVT Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview.
1. CHECK TO SEE IF THE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) IS ACTIVE
1. Using the scan tool, read Transmission DTCs.
Is the status Active or is the Starts Since Set counter 2 or less for this DTC?
Yes
- Go To 2
No
- Go To 5
2. CHECK THE (T59) TCC SOLENOID CONTROL CIRCUIT
1. Turn the ignition off to the lock position.
2. Disconnect the Transmission Solenoid/Pressure Switch Assembly harness connector.
3. Ignition on, engine not running.
4. Using the scan tool, actuate the TCC Solenoid.
5. Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, check the (T59) TCC Solenoid Control circuit.
NOTE: The test light must illuminate brightly. Compare the brightness to that of a direct connection to the battery.
Does the test light illuminate brightly?
Yes
- Go To 3
No
- Go To 4
3. CHECK THE TCC SOLENOID
1. Turn the ignition off to the lock position.
2. Reconnect the Transmission Solenoid/Pressure Switch Assembly harness connector.
3. Disconnect the TCM C1 harness connector.
4. Measure the resistance between ground and the (T59) TCC Solenoid Control circuit in the TCM C1 harness connector.
Is the resistance between 3.0 and 9.0 Ohms?
Yes
- Using the schematics as a guide, check the Transmission Control Module (TCM) terminals for corrosion, damage, or terminal push out. Pay particular attention to all power and ground circuits. Check for any Service Bulletins for possible causes that may apply. If no problems are found, replace the TCM.
- Perform the CVT TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. CVT Transmission Verification Test.
No
- Replace the TCC Solenoid (Valve Body).
- Perform the CVT TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. CVT Transmission Verification Test.
4. CHECK THE (T59) TCC SOLENOID CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
1. Turn the ignition off to the lock position.
2. Disconnect the TCM C1 harness connector.
3. Measure the resistance between ground and the (T59) TCC Solenoid Control circuit.
Is the resistance below 5.0 Ohms?
Yes
- Repair the (T59) TCC Solenoid Control circuit for a short to ground.
- Perform the CVT TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. CVT Transmission Verification Test.
No
- Using the schematics as a guide, check the Transmission Control Module (TCM) terminals for corrosion, damage, or terminal push out. Pay particular attention to all power and ground circuits. Check for any Service Bulletins for possible causes that may apply. If no problems are found, replace the TCM.
- Perform the CVT TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. CVT Transmission Verification Test.
5. CHECK THE WIRING AND CONNECTORS
1. The conditions necessary to set this DTC are not present at this time.
2. Using the schematics as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors specific to this circuit.
3. Wiggle the wires while checking for shorted and open circuits.
Were there any problems found?
Yes
- Repair as necessary.
- Perform the CVT TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. CVT Transmission Verification Test.
No
- Test Complete.
