Chart C8A - Torque Converter Clutch: Notes

The TCC will engage when the engine is warmed up, vehicle speed is greater than 28 MPH, throttle position sensor output is not changing (indicating a steady road speed) and the brake switch is closed.

NOTE: Test numbers refer to test numbers on diagnostic charts.
  1. This test checks the continuity of the TCC circuit from the fuse to the ALDL connector.
  2. When the brake pedal is released and the diagnostic terminal is grounded, the light should come back on and then go off. This tests circuit No. 422 and the TCC driver in the ECM.
  3. TCC electrical circuits have checked out properly. Fault may be an internal hydraulic problem.
