DTC P2764 3.6L
Circuit Description
Ignition voltage is provided to the torque converter clutch pulse width modulation (TCC PWM) solenoid valve. The TCM controls the solenoid with a negative duty cycle in order to control application and release of the TCC. When the solenoid is commanded OFF, the TCM senses high voltage. When the solenoid is commanded ON, the TCM senses low voltage.
DTC P2764 sets if the TCM detects an open or short to ground in the TCC PWM solenoid valve circuit. DTC P2764 is a type B DTC .
Conditions for Running the DTC
The system voltage is 8-18 volts.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
DTC P2764 sets when one of the following conditions exists for at least 5 seconds:
| • | The TCM commands the solenoid to greater than 90% duty cycle and the voltage feedback remains high, B+. |
| • | The TCM commands the solenoid to less than 10% duty cycle and the voltage feedback remains low, 0 volts. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The TCM requests the ECM to illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) during the second consecutive trip in which the Conditions for Setting the DTC are met. |
| • | The TCM commands maximum line pressure. |
| • | The TCM forces TCC OFF. |
| • | The TCM inhibits 4th gear if the transmission is in Hot Mode. |
| • | The TCM freezes transmission adaptive functions. |
| • | The TCM records the operating conditions when the Conditions for Setting the DTC are met. The TCM stores this information as Freeze Frame and Failure Records. |
| • | The TCM stores DTC P2764 in TCM history during the second consecutive trip in which the Conditions for Setting the DTC are met. |
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
| • | The ECM turns OFF the MIL after the third consecutive trip in which the TCM does not send an MIL illumination request. |
| • | A scan tool can clear the MIL/DTC. |
| • | The TCM clears the DTC from TCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without an emission-related diagnostic fault occurring. |
| • | The TCM cancels the DTC default actions when the ignition switch is OFF long enough in order to power down the TCM. |
Diagnostic Aids
Ensure the wiring harness is not stretched too tightly or other components are pressing on the A/T inline 20-way connector body. Also inspect for proper clearance to any other components and wiring. Refer to Intermittent Conditions in Engine Controls - 3.6L.
Test Description
