Nissan Maxima Service and Repair Manual: P0740 torque converter

Nissan Maxima Service and Repair Manual / Transmission & driveline / Transaxle & transmission / DTC/circuit diagnosis / P0740 torque converter

Description

  •  The torque converter clutch solenoid valve is activated by the TCM in response to signals sent from the vehicle speed and accelerator pedal position sensors. Lock-up piston operation will then be controlled.
  •  Lock-up operation, however, is prohibited when CVT fluid temperature is too low.
  •  When the accelerator pedal is depressed (less than 2.0/8) in lock-up condition, the engine speed should not change abruptly. If there is a big jump in engine speed, there is no lock-up.
