The torque converter clutch pressure control solenoid is very important to the operation of the transmission. It controls the amount of hydraulic pressure used to engage and disengage the torque converter clutch. If the TCC pressure control solenoid experiences an intermittent malfunction, a P2760 diagnostic trouble code will be stored.

How to Diagnose the Code?
When trying to diagnose a P2760 OBDII trouble code, the level and condition of the transmission fluid will need to be checked. The wiring and connectors on the transmission wiring harness also need to be inspected for signs of damage and corrosion. If no problems are found, then the torque converter clutch pressure control solenoid will have to be tested.
