## DTC P0743 Non European or N. American Emissions

### DTC Descriptor

This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:

DTC P0743 TCC Circuit

### Conditions for Setting the DTC

• | The transmission control module (TCM) detects that the ON signal of the lockup solenoid monitor during 0.5 second when lockup solenoid driver outputs the OFF signal. The torque converter clutch (TCC) circuit is open or short to battery.

• | The TCM detects that the OFF signal of the lockup solenoid monitor during 0.3 second when lockup solenoid driver outputs the ON signal. The TCC circuit is short to battery.

• | The above detection 8 times at shifting continuously.

### Action Taken When the DTC Sets

• | The TCM will request the illumination of the hold lamp and store the DTC when the TCM detects failures on 2 consecutive ignition cycles.

• | No TCC lockup solenoid

• | First gear fixed under the 10 km/h (7 mph)

### Conditions for Clearing the DTC

• | The TCM turns off the hold lamp when no further failures are detected on the next ignition cycles.

• | The scan tool can clear the DTC from the TCM history.

• | The TCM clears the DTC from the TCM history memory after 40 consecutive ignition cycles without fault.

• | The TCM detects the ON signal of the lockup solenoid monitor during 160 ms when the lockup solenoid driver outputs the ON signal and the TCM detects the OFF signal of the lockup solenoid monitor during 160 ms when lockup solenoid driver outputs the OFF signal.

### Cause of Failure

• | The wiring harness or connector between the lockup solenoid and the TCM

• | The lockup solenoid

• | The TCM
