Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) Solenoid
- With key on, check 12-volt supply to solenoid, through brake switch, by backprobing terminal "A" (Purple wire) at transmission solenoid. See circuit diagram in DIAGNOSTIC CHARTS, CHART C-8A. If voltage is not present, check circuit through brake switch from ignition circuit fuse No. F-13 (20 amps).
- Disconnect TCC harness connector and connect a DVOM to terminals "A" and "D" of the transmission connector. Raise vehicle drive wheels. Operate engine, in Drive, to 30 MPH (48 km/h) to allow 3rd gear pressure switch to close.
- While switch is closed, measure resistance of solenoid using DVOM. If resistance is less than 20 ohms, replace solenoid. For further testing see DIAGNOSTIC CHARTS, CHART C-8A.
