P2760 Torque Converter Clutch Pressure Control Solenoid Control Circuit Intermittent

P2760 records a converter clutch control circuit that drops out now and then and recovers by itself. Ford names it in its 2024 OBD summary as the circuit-intermittent result of the TCC solenoid, written as P0740 with failure byte 1F; its electrical check compares the driver feedback with the commanded state and reacts when they disagree for 1.5 seconds. Because the fault comes and goes, a static measurement in the workshop often finds nothing, and the freeze-frame data is the best clue. Loose terminals at the transmission case connector, a wire rubbing on a bracket or moisture that only causes trouble when hot are the classic causes. The driver may notice lockup cutting in and out, felt as a brief rpm flare at cruise.

Likely causes

Loose or spread terminal at the case connector
Wire chafing intermittently against a bracket
Moisture or heat-related contact fault

Symptoms

  • Lockup drops out briefly, felt as an rpm flare
  • Fault not reproducible in the workshop
  • Warning lamp may come and go
