Re: Emissions Test Failure

It could be expensive if it requires removing the transaxle side cover or rebuilding it. Do you have the specific code (DTC)? What it means is the torque converter clutch is possibly stuck to the on position and not turning off when commanded to do so. The TCC is supposed to cycle on and off depending on the driving conditions and what gear the car is in.
