Torque Converter Clutch Pressure Control Solenoid Control Circuit Performance/Stuck Off
What it means
P2757 means the torque converter clutch (TCC) pressure control solenoid isn't performing and appears stuck off, so the converter can't lock up. The car still drives, but engine RPM stays higher at cruising speed, fuel economy drops, and the transmission runs hotter. Typical causes are low or dirty fluid, a failed solenoid, or a wiring/valve-body issue.
Can I keep driving? Yes — the car drives, but the torque converter won't lock up, so expect higher engine RPM at highway speed and worse fuel economy; repair to avoid transmission heat buildup.
Real-world scan data
Figures reflect only diagnostic scans recorded through our own apps and tools. Cars are typically scanned because a symptom or warning light prompted it, so these counts describe our scan records — not the incidence of faults in any model, and not the quality, reliability, or safety of any vehicle.

Common symptoms
What you'll notice
- Higher-than-normal engine RPM at steady highway speed
- Reduced fuel economy
- No torque-converter lockup or a slipping feel under light load
- Transmission running hotter than usual
- Check-engine light on

How to diagnose & fix
Work through it in order
- Check transmission fluid level and condition first.
- Scan for companion codes and confirm the converter isn't locking.
- Inspect the solenoid connector and internal harness for damage or corrosion.
- Back-probe and measure the TCC solenoid resistance against spec.
- Service or replace the solenoid/valve body; consider the module only after checks pass.
