Circuit Description

The Transmission Control Module (TCM) provides voltage to the Torque Converter Clutch Pulse Width Modulated (TCCPWM) solenoid valve through the 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 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 continuous short to voltage in the TCC PWM solenoid valve circuit, then DTC P2763 sets, which is a type 'B' DTC.

Conditions for Running the DTC
    • Ignition voltage is between 8.0 and 18.0 volts.
    • Engine is running between 450 and 6,800 RPM at least 5 seconds.
    • HSD2 is commanded ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

DTC P02763 sets when the TCM detects a short to voltage in the TCC PWM solenoid valve circuit when the PWM duty cycle is 45% or more.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
    • The TCM requests the Powertrain Interface Module (PIM) to illuminate the Check Powertrain Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) in the instrument cluster during the second consecutive drive trip in which the 'Conditions for Setting the DTC' are met.
    • At the time of the first failure, the TCM records the operating conditions when the 'Conditions for Setting the DTC' are met. The TCM stores this information as a failure record.
    • At the time of the second failure, the ECM records the operating conditions when the 'Conditions for Setting the DTC' are met. The ECM stores this information as a freeze frame.
    • The TCM freezes the transmission adaptive learning function.
    • The TCM stores DTC P2763 into TCM history.
    • The TCM commands the TCC OFF and disables the TCC solenoid.
    • The TCM inhibits fifth gear if the transmission is in Hot Mode.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
    • The PIM turns off the Check Powertrain MIL after the sixth consecutive drive trip in which the TCM does not send a Check Powertrain MIL illumination request.
    • Tech 2 can clear the DTC.
    • The TCM clears the DTC from its memory (history DTC) if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without a non-emission related DTC occurring.
    • The TCM cancels the DTC default actions when the ignition is off long enough to power down the TCM.
