Review the 'Possible Causes' mentioned above and visually examine the corresponding wiring harness and connectors. Ensure to check for any damaged components and inspect the connector pins for signs of being broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded.
To diagnose the P0740 GMC code, it typically requires 1.0 hour of labor. The specific diagnosis time and labor rates at auto repair shops can differ based on factors such as the location, make and model of the vehicle, and even the engine type. It is common for most auto repair shops to charge between $75 and $150 per hour.
The Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) pressure control solenoid is part of the control solenoid valve assembly which has no serviceable parts. The TCC pressure control solenoid is a normally low-pressure control solenoid. The TCC pressure control solenoid regulates the transmission fluid to the TCC regulator valve in the lower valve body and the TCC control valve in the pump cover. When vehicle operating conditions are appropriate to apply the converter clutch, the Transmission Control Module (TCM) will increase TCC pressure control current flow (duty cycle) to the TCC solenoid. The TCC pressure control solenoid directs fluid pressure to move the TCC control valve to the apply position and moves the TCC regulator apply valve to the regulating position. The TCC regulator valve regulates TCC apply fluid pressure proportional to TCC solenoid pressure. When the TCC is fully applied, the engine is coupled directly to the transmission. TCC release is accomplished by the Transmission Control Module decreasing current flow to the TCC pressure control solenoid. This results in decreasing the applied pressure which allows the TCC control valve to move to the release position. The Transmission Control Module calculates torque converter slip speed based on engine speed and transmission input shaft speed.
