Symptoms:

  • Code 39, 740, 1870
  • Falls out of lockup when hot
  • Overheated converter
  • Shudder
  • Low cooler flow

Cause:

Wear of the TCC apply valve bore allows leakage of TCC signal oil to exhaust and the apply valve to move into the TCC release position.

Correction:

Recondition the bore and install Sonnax oversized TCC apply valve kit to restore hydraulic integrity.

Warning:

Required tool kit 84754-TL5 is no longer in productions. Check with your distributor for availability.

In GM 4T60 and 4T60-E units, the TCC apply valve acts as the switch valve for converter apply and release. The TCC regulator valve controls TCC apply pressure. Both the apply valve and the regulator valve can cause slip codes. When the apply valve is worn, it often returns to the un-apply position even though the TCC apply solenoid remains energized. Generally the apply valve causes larger changes in slip RPM as the converter cycles from apply to full release. The regulator valve causes a more gradual load and heat-sensitive slip. Reconditioning the bore and installing Sonnax oversized TCC apply valve kit 84754-16K restores hydraulic integrity.
