Default TCC takes me from OD to 3rd

Hi guys

recent LS2 swap in my wagon. Using a summit 4l60e and Holley x max. Weird issues regarding my tcc engagement. When it locks and I am in OD, it down shifts to 3rd on its own. Ecm shows tcc and 4th commanded, but the Tcc isn’t even locked in 3rd either.

Looked at the tune and that is good. Not sure if valve body harness or Holley harness related. I verified that the power is good and clean on the Holley. I am going to send tune and data log to Holley but wanted to see if anyone had this. Not sure if line pressure drops in od and tcc. Heavy roadmaster wagon, 3.23 gears, 245/45/20.

Fluid Level may be actually Low...

Most ATF Dipsticks are actually inaccurately Marked.

Try adding an extra Quart, but you should really take pressure readings first.

Probably why you did not get any responses...

Are you sure the TX is wired properly for a 4l60e and not a 4l80e?

hi. According to the holley pin out yes, also verified continuity for all pin outs. I did notice that disabled tcc actually locks at 55 mph and my brake unlocks it. Again it’s disabled in the tune.

One other possibiliy are you sure you have full voltage to PIN E low voltage or poor PCM ground could drop low enough with TCC PWM and A solenoid on to lose one or all Just a thought . Realizing this is a 60 not 80 but I had a guy I helped once who when his 80 would shift to 4th and tcc came on it would imediatly shift to second, Voltage was low on pin e like 9.3 or something , Was a cold solider joint. Actually checked normal in 1-2-3 only went down in 4th with lockup on. Found it by driving with multimeter on pin e wire.

good inputs! Will give a quad check in that. I feel like the power is a good source but cannot confirm volts. Will get that data.

Been thinking its valve body. Almost like a backwards plunger or missing spring in a circuit allowing 3 to energize. But power I read can do similar. Will get answers in a few days!
