It connects the engine and transmission to help transfer torque output and efficiency. This mechanism is monitored by your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/transmission-control-module\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"transmission control module\">transmission control module<\/a> (TCM). If your TCM detects any problems, it may trigger various OBD codes, such as code P0744.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&rsquo;t worry if you see a P0744 code when you scan your vehicle. Here&rsquo;s what you need to know:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Does the P0744 Code Mean?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0744 stands for &ldquo;Torque Converter Clutch Circuit Intermittent.&rdquo; It&rsquo;s one of the many codes that indicate issues with your torque converter. A P0744 code means that your TCM found a fault in your torque converter clutch or its operating circuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/torque-converter-of-a-car-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"torque converter of a car\" class=\"wp-image-46002\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/torque-converter-of-a-car-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/torque-converter-of-a-car-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/torque-converter-of-a-car-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/torque-converter-of-a-car-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/torque-converter-of-a-car.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption>A P0744 code means that your TCM found a fault in your torque converter clutch or its operating circuit.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Your torque converter may be controlled by your TCM or powertrain control module (PCM) through your torque converter clutch solenoids. These components work together to regulate the hydraulic fluid in your torque converter clutch, which helps activate its coupling mechanism. If your TCM detects torque converter failure or circuit problems, it may trigger a code P0744.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Torque Converter Solenoid<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Since about 1990, most vehicles engage their torque converter clutches in stages leading up to 100% lockup. That means the solenoid is designed as a &ldquo;variable force&rdquo; solenoid that provides varying amounts of pressure to the converter clutch as commanded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On a 2015 F-150, for example, a P0744 means &ldquo;Torque Converter Solenoid Circuit Intermittent.&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/torque-converter-solenoid-circuit-schematic-1024x714.png\" alt=\"torque converter solenoid circuit schematic\" class=\"wp-image-76158\" width=\"1024\" height=\"714\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/torque-converter-solenoid-circuit-schematic-1024x714.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/torque-converter-solenoid-circuit-schematic-300x209.png 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/torque-converter-solenoid-circuit-schematic-768x536.png 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/torque-converter-solenoid-circuit-schematic-150x105.png 150w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/torque-converter-solenoid-circuit-schematic.png 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption>Simplified torque converter solenoid circuit schematic | Image Source: Richard McCuistian<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It&rsquo;s a simple matter for the ECM\/TCM to measure the continuity of any solenoid on the controlled side of that coil. On a solenoid that is hardwired to power, the ECM\/TCM looks for 12 volts at the controlled side of the solenoid whenever the solenoid isn&rsquo;t energized (grounded). On a solenoid that is hard wired to ground, that same strategy works, except that the ECM\/TCM is looking for GROUND on the controlled side of the deenergized coil rather than power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Note:<\/strong> The definition of code P0744 may be different depending on the vehicle manufacturer.
