What are the symptoms of a failed TCC solenoid?
The main symptom of a TCC solenoid failure is the converter is not locking up. When the converter is not locking up you will notice the engine’s RPMs staying higher under load at highway speeds. Another symptom of a failed TCC solenoid is a fault code. Common codes associated with a TCC conditions include:
Where is the TCC solenoid located on a 4L60E?
In essence, the TCC solenoid is like a computer controlled on and off switch for your 4l60e’s torque converter lock up. Where Is The TCC Solenoid Located The 4l60e TCC Solenoid is located on the front passenger side of the transmission near the valve body. The image below shows the locations of various solenoids.
How do you plug in a TCC solenoid?
Unplug the wiring harness connector. Remove the solenoid from the transmission, using the appropriate socket. Install the new TCC solenoid and tighten the bolt firmly, but do not over-tighten the bolt or you could damage the sensor. Plug in the sensor, ensuring the connector snaps onto the sensor. Close the hood.
How does the torque converter clutch ( TCC ) work?
The Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) solenoid valve is activated, with the gear in D4, by the Transmission Control Module (TCM) in response to signals sent from the vehicle speed and the Engine Control Module ( ECM ). Lock-up piston operation will then be controlled.

What does the TCC solenoid do on a toque converter?
What Does The TCC Solenoid Do? The main function of the toque converter clutch or TCC solenoid is to send pressurized fluid to the torque converter’s clutch allowing it to achieve lock up in 4th gear based on a signal from the engine control module (ECM).

What can I use to unstick a TCC solenoid?
Purchase a can of SeaFoam TransTune and add a half a can to the transmission fluid. I’ve had good luck unsticking TCC solenoids using the SeaFoam.
