Torque Converter Clutch Pressure Control Solenoid Control Circuit High
- Severity
- Medium
- Driving
- Drivable — book it in
The torque converter clutch pressure solenoid circuit is reading high - typically shorted to voltage or a lost earth. The module cannot control the converter clutch, so it will not lock up and fuel consumption will suffer.
Possible causes
- CommonFailed torque converter clutch pressure control solenoid
- CommonLow or degraded transmission fluid
- CommonDebris in the fluid jamming the solenoid or a valve
- CommonCorroded case connector, or fluid wicking into it
- CommonWorn torque converter clutch lining
- PossibleInternal transmission harness failure
What you might notice
- Shudder or vibration at a light steady throttle
- Higher engine speed at a steady cruise than usual
- Worse fuel consumption
- Transmission running hot
- Stalling when coming to a stop
- Check engine light on
What to check, in order
- Disconnect at the case connector and check whether the high reading persists at the harness side.
- Pull the transmission case connector and look for fluid inside it. Fluid wicking up the harness corrodes the pins and can reach and destroy the control module itself.
- Check the fluid level and condition first. It is the cheapest check and it explains more transmission complaints than every electrical fault combined.
