Hi greenchevymalibu, Welcome to 2carpros and TY for the donation

Could be a bad wiring or the torque converter lock-up relay -inspect and test if okay have the transmission control module tested if separately from PCM/SBEC

You probably need a DRB2 to clear the code.

Could be a problem with the SBEC not providing the ground circuit to the TCC solenoid or a wiring problem to the TCC solenoid
