DTC P0743

Torque converter clutch (TCC) solenoid valve circuit malfunction (open/short)

DETECTION CONDITION

• Open or short in TCC solenoid signal system (while TCM monitors solenoid output voltage, the voltage that differs from the ON/OFF signal output by CPU in TCM is detected).
Diagnostic support note:
• This is continuous monitor (CCM).
• MIL illuminates if TCM detects the above malfunction condition during first drive cycle.
• PENDING CODE is not available.
• FREEZE FRAME DATA is available.
• AT warning light does not indication.
• DTC is stored in TCM memory.

POSSIBLE CAUSE

• Open circuit between TCC solenoid valve terminal A and TCM terminal 2S
• Short to ground between TCC solenoid valve terminal A and TCM terminal 2S
• Short to power between TCC solenoid valve terminal A and TCM terminal 2S
• TCC solenoid valve malfunction
• Damage connector between TCC solenoid valve and TCM
• TCM malfunction

Diagnostic procedure

STEP

INSPECTION

ACTION

1
VERIFY FREEZE FRAME DATA HAS BEEN RECORDED
• Has FREEZE FRAME PID DATA been recorded?
Yes
Go to next step.
No
Record FREEZE FRAME PID DATA on repair order, then go to next step.
2
VERIFY RELATED REPAIR INFORMATION AVAILABILITY
• Check for related Service Bulletins and/or on-line repair information availability.
• Is any related repair information available?
Yes
Perform repair or diagnosis according to available repair information.
• If vehicle is not repaired, go to next step.
No
Go to next step.
3
INSPECT TERMINAL COMPONENT NO.1 (12-PIN) FOR POOR CONNECTION
• Turn ignition key to OFF.
• Disconnect terminal componentNo.1 (12-pin).
• Check for poor connection (damaged, pulled-out, terminals, corrosion, etc.).
• Are terminals okay?
Yes
Go to next step.
No
Repair or replace terminals, then go to Step 13.
4
INSPECT RESISTANCE
• Check resistance between terminal component No.1 (12-pin) terminal H (transaxle case side) and body ground.
• Is resistance within 12-13.2 ohms?
Yes
Go to Step 9.
No
Go to next step.
5
INSPECT COUPLER COMPONENT (10-PIN) FOR POOR CONNECTION
• Disconnect coupler component (10-pin) connector.
• Check for poor connection (damaged, pulled-out, terminals, corrosion, etc.).
• Is terminal okay?
Yes
Go to next step.
No
Repair or replace terminal, then go to Step 13.
6
INSPECT RESISTANCE
• Check resistance between coupler component (10-pin) terminal C (part side) and body ground.
• Is resistance within 12-13.2 ohms?
Yes
Repair or replace terminal component No.1 (12-pin), then go to Step 13.
No
Go to next step.
7
INSPECT TCC SOLENOID VALVE CONNECTOR FOR POOR CONNECTION
• Disconnect TCC solenoid valve connector.
• Check for poor connection (damaged, pulled-out, terminals, corrosion, etc.).
• Is terminal okay?
Yes
Go to next step.
No
Repair or replace terminal, then go to Step 13.
8
INSPECT RESISTANCE
• Check resistance between TCC solenoid valve connector (part side) terminal A and body ground.
• Is resistance within 12-13.2 ohms?
Yes
Repair or replace coupler component (10-pin), then go to Step 13.
No
Verify TCC solenoid valve installation.
• If TCC solenoid valve is installed correctly, replace TCC solenoid valve, then go to Step 13.
9
INSPECT TCM CONNECTOR FOR POOR CONNECTION
• Disconnect TCM connector.
• Check for poor connection (damaged, pulled-out, terminals, corrosion, etc.).
• Are terminals okay?
Yes
Go to next step.
No
Repair terminals, then go to Step 13.
10
INSPECT TERMINAL COMPONENT NO.1 (12-PIN) CIRCUIT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT
• Check continuity between TCM terminal 2S (harness-side) and terminal component No.1 (12-pin) terminal H (harness-side).
• Is there continuity between terminals?
Yes
Go to next step.
No
Repair or replace harness, then go to Step 13.
11
INSPECT TERMINAL COMPONENT NO.1 (12-PIN) CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO POWER
• Turn ignition key to ON (engine OFF).
• Check voltage at terminal component No.1 (12-pin) terminal H (harness-side).
• Is voltage 0 V?
Yes
Go to next step.
No
Repair or replace harness, then go to Step 13.
12
INSPECT TCM CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO GROUND
• Turn ignition key to OFF.
• Check continuity between TCM terminal 2S (harness-side) and body ground.
• Is there any continuity?
Yes
Repair or replace harness, then go to next step.
No
Go to next step.
13
VERIFY TROUBLESHOOTING OF DTC P0743 COMPLETED
• Make sure to reconnect all disconnected connectors.
• Clear DTC from memory using WDS or equivalent.
• Drive vehicle in D range and make sure that gears shift smoothly from 1GR to 5GR.
• Is same DTC present?
Yes
Replace TCM, then go to next step.
No
Go to next step.
14
VERIFY AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE
• Perform "After Repair Procedure".
• Is there any DTC present?
Yes
Go to applicable DTC inspection.
No
Troubleshooting completed.
