HELP me diagnose a 4L60 issue please
After the install he drove it to work and back home no problem and then washed the car when he got home. Now as soon as he puts it in gear the car stalls.
If he jacks the rear end up and puts it in gear and lets the car idle it is fine but as soon as he hits the brakes the car will stall.
he is getting a P0740 tcc circuit malfunction code.....car has a stock stall converter BTW.
thanks in advance!!!!

Might end up needing to ohm out the tcc wire from the trans connector to the computer. and check all the wiring in the trans pan for shorts to ground.
P0740 is an electrical code for the TCC circuit. P0742 would be a mechanical problem.
It could be anything in the circuit from the tcc solenoid coil to the PCM, and all the wiring in between.
The easiest test I can think of is to cut the tcc ground wire in the big plug, I guarantee it'll either unlock or the wire has a rub through to ground inside the pan. This will tell you if the wire has a ground fault on the harness side, or in the pan.
And even if that works it'll still throw the 740 code because of the break in the tcc solenoid wire.

The TCC wire on the big plug is light tan with a black stripe.
It goes to pin 42 on the red pcm connector.

As far as I know the solenoid is powered with 12 volts and operates by the pcm grounding it.

The tcc solenoid is the bottom pic in my post above, heres another view of it.
The pwm solenoid needs to be removed to get the tcc solenoid out. The pwm solenoid is held in with a clip that sticks out of the slot in the valvebody.
