Diagnostic Test

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. CHECK IF THE DTC IS CURRENT 
    NOTE: If the TCM detects and stores a DTC, the TCM also stores the vehicles operating conditions under which the DTC originally set. This information is located in scan tool under Environmental Data. Before erasing any stored DTCs, record any available data to assist in duplicating the conditions in which the DTC originally set.
    1. Turn the ignition off to the lock position.
    2. With the scan tool, erase Transmission DTCs.
    3. Using the Environmental Data recorded earlier, try to duplicate the conditions in which the DTC originally set. It may be necessary to test drive the vehicle.
    4. With the scan tool, read Transmission DTCs.

      Did the DTC P0743 reset?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  2

      No 

      • Go to step  6
  2. CHECK THE (T75) TCC SOLENOID CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN

    1. Turn the ignition off to the lock position.
    2. Disconnect the TCM C2 harness connector.
    3. Disconnect the Transmission Electrohydraulic Control Unit Assembly harness connector.
    4. Measure the resistance of the (T75) TCC Solenoid Control circuit from the TCM C2 harness connector to the Transmission Electrohydraulic Control Unit Assembly harness connector.

      Is the resistance above 5.0 ohms?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go to step  3
  3. CHECK THE (T75) TCC SOLENOID CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND

    1. Measure the resistance between ground and the (T75) TCC Solenoid Control circuit.

      Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go to step  4
  4. CHECK THE (T75) TCC SOLENOID CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO ANOTHER CIRCUIT

    1. Measure the resistance between the (T75) TCC Solenoid Control circuit and all other circuits in the Transmission Electrohydraulic Control Unit Assembly harness connector.

      Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms between the (T75) TCC Solenoid Control circuit and any other circuit(s) in the Transmission Electrohydraulic Control Unit Assembly harness connector?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go to step  5
  5. CHECK THE TCC SOLENOID RESISTANCE 
    Fig 4: Checking Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid Resistance

    1. Disconnect the Transmission Electrohydraulic Control Unit Assembly harness connector.
    2. Measure the resistance of the TCC Solenoid between the (T75) TCC Solenoid Control circuit and the (T78) Solenoid Supply circuit in the TCM C2 harness connector.

      Is the resistance between 2.0 and 4.0 ohms?

      Yes 

      • Using the schematics as a guide, check the Transmission Control Module (TCM) pins, terminals, and connectors for corrosion, damage, or terminal push out. Pay particular attention to all power and ground circuits. If no problems are found, replace the TCM in accordance with the Service Information.
      • Perform NAG1 TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Transmission Control (TCM) - Standard Procedure 

      No 

  6. CHECK THE WIRING AND CONNECTORS 
    1. The conditions necessary to set this DTC are not present at this time.
    2. Using the schematics as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors specific to this circuit.
    3. Wiggle the wiring and connectors while checking for any possible open or shorted circuits.
    4. Check for any Service Information Tune-ups or Technical Service Bulletins that may apply.

      Were there any problems found?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Test Complete.
