Hey guys, quick question. When the PCM is in open loop, does it also ignore the transmission sensors, such as the solenoids?
My problem is the wonderful, awesome P0741 TCC Clutch Stuck Off code. I have a problem with the idle getting really jumpy at stops and sometimes the truck will just die. It seems I have intermittent lockup, as sometimes I can see the RPMS jump up and down, but other times I see nothing. The catch is, the truck runs absolutely great when it's cold, but as it warms up, it gets worse until the point where the idle is so jumpy the truck is barely driveable due to the risk of it dying. What I'm wondering is if my TCC solenoid has an issue, is the truck running fine when it's cold because the PCM is ignoring input from the solenoid, or could it be that one of the valve body gaskets is damaged, closing up when it gets cold, but expanding as it gets hot, just as a vacuum line would?
