P2762
Torque Converter Clutch Pressure Control Solenoid Control Circuit Range/Performance
Transmission (torque converter)
Generic OBD-II
Medium
What it means
P2762 means the torque converter clutch pressure control solenoid circuit isn't responding as the TCM expects. This solenoid controls how the converter clutch locks up, so a fault can cause shudder, lost or erratic lockup, and worse fuel economy — and on some vehicles stalling at stops. It's usually a solenoid, wiring, or fluid/valve-body issue; the car remains drivable while you diagnose it.
Medium
Can I keep driving? Drivable, but you may feel converter shudder, lose lockup, and see lower fuel economy — some cars stall at stops.

How to diagnose & fix
Work through it in order
- Check transmission fluid level and condition first.
- Read freeze-frame data and review torque-converter lockup data.
- Inspect the solenoid connector and wiring for faults.
- Test the solenoid electrically and command it with a scan tool.
- Inspect the valve body; replace the solenoid if faulty. Clear and re-test.
FAQ
Quick answers
Is it safe to drive with P2762?+
Usually short-term. Expect converter shudder or lost lockup and higher fuel use. If the car stalls at stops, have it diagnosed right away.
