DTC P0744 A/T TCC S/V FUNCTION (LOCK-UP)
Description
This malfunction is detected when the A/T does not shift into 5th gear position or the torque converter clutch does not lock-up as instructed by the TCM. This is not only caused by electrical malfunction (circuits open or shorted) but also by mechanical malfunction such as control valve sticking, improper solenoid valve operation, etc.
CONSULT-II Reference Value
On Board Diagnosis Logic
This is an OBD-II self-diagnostic item.
Diagnostic trouble code "P0744 A/T TCC S/V FNCTN" with CONSULT-II is detected under the following conditions.
When A/T cannot perform lock-up even if electrical circuit is good.
When TCM detects as irregular by comparing difference value with slip rotation.
Possible Cause
Harness or connectors (The solenoid circuit is open or shorted.)
Torque converter clutch solenoid valve
Hydraulic control circuit
DTC Confirmation Procedure
CAUTION: Always drive vehicle at a safe speed.
NOTE: If "DTC Confirmation Procedure" has been previously performed, always turn ignition switch "OFF" and wait at least 10 seconds before performing the next test.
After the repair, perform the following procedure to confirm the malfunction is eliminated.
WITH CONSULT-II
Start engine and select "TCC SOL FNCTN CHECK" of "DTC WORK SUPPORT" mode for "A/T" with CONSULT-II and touch "START".
Accelerate vehicle to more than 80 km/h (50 MPH) and maintain the following condition continuously until "TESTING" has turned to "COMPLETE". (It will take approximately 30 seconds after "TESTING" shows.) ACCELE POSI: More than 1.0/8 (at all times during step 4)
TCC SOLENOID: 0.4 - 0.6 A
Selector lever: "D" position
[Reference speed: Constant speed of more than 80 km/h (50 MPH) ]
Make sure "GEAR" shows "5".
For shift schedule, refer to AT-62, "Vehicle Speed at Which Lock-up Occurs/Releases". See: Powertrain Management Transmission Control Systems Testing and Inspection Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview Vehicle Speed at Which Lock-Up Occurs/Releases
If "TESTING" does not appear on CONSULT-II for a long time, select "SELF-DIAG RESULTS". In case a 1st trip DTC other than P0744 is shown, refer to applicable "TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS FOR DTC".
Make sure that "OK" is displayed. (If "NG" is displayed, Refer to "Diagnostic Procedure" below.) Refer to AT-121, "Diagnostic Procedure".
Refer to shift schedule AT-62, "Vehicle Speed at Which Lock-up Occurs/Releases". See: Powertrain Management Transmission Control Systems Testing and Inspection Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview Vehicle Speed at Which Lock-Up Occurs/Releases
WITH GST
Follow the procedure "WITH CONSULT-II".
Diagnostic Procedure
1. CHECK INPUT SIGNAL
With CONSULT-II
Turn ignition switch ON.
Select "MAIN SIGNALS" in "DATA MONITOR" mode for "A/T" with CONSULT-II.

2. CHECK TCM POWER SUPPLY AND GROUND CIRCUIT
Check TCM power supply and ground circuit. Refer to AT-167, "MAIN POWER SUPPLY AND GROUND CIRCUIT". See: Powertrain Management Transmission Control Systems Testing and Inspection Component Tests and General Diagnostics Main Power Supply and Ground Circuit
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 3.
NG >> Repair or replace damaged parts.
3. DETECT MALFUNCTIONING ITEM Check the following.
The A/T assembly harness connector pin terminals for damage or loose connection with harness connector. OK or NG
