The torque converter clutch (TCC) pressure control solenoid (PCS) is a pressure proportional to current (PCC) solenoid used to control the TCC apply and release. The transmission control module (TCM) provides voltage to the main modulation (MAIN MOD), TCC and pressure control solenoid 1 (PCS1) through a separate solid-state device called high side driver 1 (HSD1). The TCM regulates the amount of current to the TCC PCS by switching the low side driver ON and OFF.
DTC P2764 is a type A DTC.
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC P2764 Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) Pressure Control Solenoid (PCS) Control Circuit Low
• | DTC P0716, P0717, P0721, and P0722 are not active. |
• | Components are powered and the ignition voltage is greater than 9 volts and less than 18 volts. |
• | Engine speed is greater than 200 RPM and less than 7,500 RPM for 5 seconds. |
• | The TCM initialization is in process. |
• | The TCC is commanded on. |
DTC P2764 sets when the TCM detects a short to ground condition on the TCC PCS return circuit for greater than 6 seconds.
• | The TCM illuminates the malfunction indicator light (MIL). |
• | If the failure occurs while in a forward range, a shift to 1st, 3rd or 5th range is made. |
• | While diagnostic response is active, if the shift selector is moved to NEUTRAL, the transmission will shift to NEUTRAL. If the shift selector is moved to REVERSE, the transmission shifts to REVERSE. If the shift selector is moved to forward range or REVERSE and the transmission is compromised by overspeeding or direction change, the transmission shifts to NEUTRAL. |
• | DTC P2764 is stored in TCM history. |
• | The TCM inhibits MAIN MOD. |
• | The TCM inhibits REVERSE operation. |
• | The TCM freezes shift adapts. |
• | The TCM inhibits TCC engagement. |
A scan tool can clear the code from TCM history. The TCM automatically clears the DTC from TCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without failure.
• | Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connections at the TCM. Inspect for the following conditions: |
- | A bent terminal |
- | A backed-out terminal |
- | A damaged terminal |
- | Poor terminal tension |
- | A chafed wire |
- | A broken wire inside the insulation |
• | When diagnosing for an intermittent short or open, massage the wiring harness while watching the test equipment for a change. |
• | You may have to drive the vehicle in order to experience a condition. |

Important: In most cases, the TCM is not at fault. Investigate thoroughly before replacing the TCM. Replace the TCM. Refer to Control Module References for replacement, setup, and programming. Did you complete the replacement? | -- | Go to Step 11 | -- |
11 | Perform the following procedure in order to verify the repair:
Has the test run and passed? | -- | Go to Step 12 | Go to Step 2 |
12 | With the scan tool, observe the stored information, capture info and DTC info. Does the scan tool display any DTCs that you have not diagnosed? | -- | System OK |
