automatic transmission fluid CHRYSLER VOYAGER 2000 Diagnostic Manual

Symptom:
P-0740 TORQUE CONV CLUTCH, NO RPM DROP AT LOCKUP
When Monitored and Set Condition:
P-0740 TORQUE CONV CLUTCH, NO RPM DROP AT LOCKUP
When Monitored: Continuously when no matured or maturing Trouble Code and throttle
position >10% and constant for 4.4 seconds before TCC engagement requested: No TCC
solenoid circuit, any cam/crank-related code, VSS, any TPS-related code and Battery
voltage >11.0
Set Condition: Torque Converter malfunctions that are detected are the FTC not locking
up properly when desired, and the torque converter not unlocking properly when desired.
3 consecutive test failures over one trip will store the code. 2 bad trips will set the code.
POSSIBLE CAUSES
FUSED IGNITION SWITCH OUTPUT CIRCUIT OPEN
DIFF, SHAFT, OR GEARS DEFECTIVE
TCC SOL DEFECTIVE
TORQUE CONVERTER ASSEMBLY DEF OR TCC SOL STUCK
TRANSMISSION FLUID DIRTY OR LEVEL LOW
VEHICLE CONFIGURATION NON-STANDARD

At the9Cooler In9port puta0to300PSIgauge using a9T9. Ensure line is long
enough to reach in driver's side of vehicle so gauge can be monitored while driving.
Road test vehicle. Gear select in drive. While monitoring DRB, achieve 50 MPH.
While doing this, notice the gauge will read around 15 PSI until lockup is achieved
in 3rd gear. If the TCC Solenoid is operating properly, the gauge pressure will
fluctuate when lockup is achieved.
Did gauge fluctuate?TRANSMISSION -
