Question
How to diagnose transmission torque converter lockup failure in automatic transmissions?
Answer
Monitor torque converter clutch (TCC) pressure and check for CAN communication faults.
Explain
TCC lockup failure causes poor fuel economy. CHEPQ scanners monitor TCC pressure (20-50psi when locked) and check for CAN messages from the transmission control module—solenoid replacement or wiring repair resolves the issue.
