The torque converter clutch pulse width modulation (TCC PWM) solenoid valve controls the fluid acting on the 
converter clutch valve. The converter clutch valve controls the TCC application and release. The solenoid 
attaches to the control valve body within the transmission. The solenoid receives ignition voltage through the 
Ignition 0 voltage circuit. The powertrain control module (PCM) controls the solenoid by providing a ground 
path on the TCC PWM solenoid valve control circuit. Current flows through the solenoid coil according to the 
duty cycle, percentage of ON and OFF time. The TCC PWM solenoid valve provides a smooth engagement of 
the TCC by operating during a duty cycle percent of ON time. 

When the PCM detects a continuous open, short to ground or short to power in the TCC PWM solenoid valve 
circuit, then DTC P2761 sets. DTC P2761 is a type B DTC. 

Conditions for Running the DTC 

z

The engine speed is greater than 450 RPM for 5 seconds.  

z

The engine is not in fuel cutoff.  

z

The PCM commands first gear.  

z

The TCC duty cycle is less than 10 percent or greater than 90 percent.  

Conditions for Setting the DTC 

DTC P2761 sets if one of the following conditions occurs for 5 seconds: 

Condition 1 

The PCM commands the solenoid ON, 90 percent, and the voltage feedback remains high, B+. 

Condition 2 

The PCM commands the solenoid OFF, 0 percent, and the voltage feedback remains low, 0 volt. 

Action Taken When the DTC Sets 

z

The PCM illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) during the second consecutive trip in which 
the Conditions for Setting the DTC are met.  

z

The PCM inhibits TCC engagement.  

z

The PCM inhibits 4th gear if the transmission is in hot mode.  

z

The PCM freezes transmission adapt functions.  

z

The PCM records the operating conditions when the Conditions for Setting the DTC are met. The PCM 
stores this information as Freeze Frame and Failure Records.  

z

The PCM stores DTC P2761 in PCM history during the second consecutive trip in which the Conditions 
for Setting the DTC are met.  

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC 

z

The PCM turns OFF the MIL during the third consecutive trip in which the diagnostic test runs and

passes.  

z

A scan tool can clear the MIL/DTC.  

z

The PCM clears the DTC from PCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without an 
emission-related diagnostic fault occurring.  

z

The PCM cancels the DTC default actions when the fault no longer exists and/or the ignition switch is 
OFF long enough in order to power down the PCM.  

Test Description 

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table. 

4: This step tests for voltage to the solenoid.  

5: This step tests the ability of the PCM and wiring to control the ground circuit.  

7: This step tests the resistance of the TCC PWM solenoid valve and the automatic transmission wiring 
harness assembly.

1. Install a scan tool.  

2. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. 

3. Record the DTC Freeze Frame and Failure 

Records.  

4. Clear the DTC.

1. Turn OFF the ignition.  

2. Disconnect the AT inline 20-way connector, 

additional DTCs may set.  

3. Install the J 44152 Jumper Harness (20 pins) on 

the engine side of the AT inline 20-way 
connector.  

4. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.  

5. Using the J 35616 GM Terminal Test Kit, 

connect a test lamp from terminal E of the J 
44152 to ground. 

Refer to Automatic Transmission Inline 20-
