Circuit Description

The transmission control module (TCM) provides voltage to the torque converter clutch pulse width modulated (TCC PWM) solenoid valve through high side driver 2 (HSD2). The TCM controls the ON and OFF time of the solenoid by providing a ground through the output driver module (ODM) . The TCM uses a PWM 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.

When the TCM detects a short to voltage in the TCC PWM solenoid valve circuit, then DTC P2763 sets. DTC P2763 is a type B DTC.

DTC Descriptor

This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:

DTC P2763 Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) Pressure Control (PC) Solenoid Control Circuit High Voltage

Conditions for Running the DTC
    • The engine run time is greater than 5 seconds.
    • HSD2 is commanded ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

DTC P2763 sets when the TCM detects an short to voltage in the TCC PWM solenoid valve circuit when the PWM duty cycle is 45 percent or greater for 4.3 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
    • The TCM requests the ECM to illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) during the second consecutive drive trip in which the Conditions for Setting the DTC are met.
    • The TCM inhibits fifth gear if the transmission is in Hot Mode.
    • The TCM inhibits the TCC.
    • The TCM freezes transmission adaptive functions.
    • The ECM records the operating conditions when the Conditions for Setting the DTC are met. The ECM stores this information as Freeze Frame and Failure Records.
    • The TCM records the operating conditions when the Conditions for Setting the DTC are met. The TCM stores this information as Failure Records.
    • The TCM stores DTC P2763 in TCM history.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
    • The ECM turns OFF the MIL after the third consecutive drive trip in which the TCM does not send a 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 default actions when the ignition is OFF long enough in order to power down the TCM.

Test Description

The number below refers to the step number on the diagnostic table.

  1. Listen for a soft rattling sound when the solenoid energizes. Use a stethoscope if necessary.

  1. Install a scan tool.
  2. Turn ON the ignition with the engine OFF.

    3. Important: 

       • Before clearing the DTC, use the scan tool in order to record the ECM Freeze Frame and the TCM Failure Records. Using the Clear Info function erases the Freeze Frame and Failure Records from the ECM and the TCM.
       • Using the Clear Info function erases stored DTCs in both the ECM and TCM.

  3. Record the DTC Freeze Frame and Failure Records.
  4. Clear the DTC.
  5. Use the scan tool in order to command the TCC PWM solenoid ON.

  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Disconnect the AT 20-way inline harness connector.
  3. Install the J 45681 jumper harness to the TCM side of the 20-way connector.
  4. Turn ON the ignition with the engine OFF.
  5. With the test lamp connected to ground, probe the solenoid supply voltage circuit of the J 45681 .

Does the test lamp illuminate?

  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Install the J 45681 to the transmission side of the 20-way connector.
  3. Using the DMM, measure the resistance between the solenoid supply voltage circuit and the TCC PWM solenoid valve control circuit of the J 45681 . Refer to Component Resistance .

Is the resistance within the specified range?

10.0-13.6 ohms
