P2764

Moderate

Torque Converter Clutch Pressure Control Solenoid Control Circuit Low

What Does P2764 Mean?

The TCM has detected an abnormally low voltage in the torque converter clutch pressure control solenoid circuit. This suggests a short to ground, excessive resistance, or solenoid internal failure preventing proper clutch engagement control.

Common Causes

35%

Short to ground in wiring harness between TCM and TCC solenoid

Transmission Wiring Harness
Grounded Wire

30%

Failed torque converter clutch pressure control solenoid (internal short to ground)

TCC Pressure Control Solenoid

20%

Damaged or corroded connector causing high resistance

Solenoid Connector
Corroded Pins

15%

TCM internal driver circuit failure

Transmission Control Module

Diagnostic Steps

1

Step 1: Visually inspect transmission wiring harness for chafing, damage, or contact with hot/sharp surfaces

2

Step 2: Disconnect TCC pressure control solenoid and measure resistance to ground from both solenoid terminals (should read open/infinite resistance)

3

Step 3: Check harness side connector for voltage with key on (should show battery voltage with solenoid commanded on)

4

Step 4: Perform insulation resistance test on wiring between TCM and solenoid to locate short to ground

5

Step 5: Monitor solenoid command vs actual current draw with scan tool to identify TCM driver issues

Estimated Repair Cost

$200 - $1,200

Frequently Asked Questions

What does P2764 mean?

The TCM has detected an abnormally low voltage in the torque converter clutch pressure control solenoid circuit. This suggests a short to ground, excessive resistance, or solenoid internal failure preventing proper clutch engagement control.

What causes P2764?

The most common cause of P2764 (Torque Converter Clutch Pressure Control Solenoid Control Circuit Low) is: Short to ground in wiring harness between TCM and TCC solenoid

How much does it cost to fix P2764?

Typical repair costs for P2764 range from $200 to $1,200, depending on the vehicle, location, and whether you do it yourself or go to a shop.

Is it safe to drive with P2764?

May cause delayed or no torque converter lockup, leading to reduced fuel economy and potential transmission overheating. Safe for limited driving but prolonged operation may damage transmission components.

How do I diagnose P2764?

Start by connecting an OBD2 scanner to read the code and any freeze frame data. Then follow the diagnostic steps specific to P2764 to identify the root cause.
