I have two transmission code on my 2015 gmc seirra, P0700 and P0741. I had an appointment at the dealership  2 weeks ago and a day before the codes went away. I bought it there anyways thinking tbe codes are stored, all they done was a fluid change, which I needed done anyways.  The codes came back yesterday. So basically what the  truck is doing is sometimes the rpms  run high before changing . It seems it happens when the truck warms up. I done some research and could be several things between dirty fluid, wiring,  and transmission control module ( tcm) , solinode value.  Just wondering if anyone came across this issue,  thanks  in advance.  Any help would be appreciated

My opinion is that it needs a torque converter.


Depending on mileage of the truck it probably should have the rest of the transmission gone through as well.

Forgot to mention, when the mechanic did the fluid change he said the torque converter looked good.  There was no shavings in the old transmission fluid

P0741 is Torque Converter Clutch Performance/Stuck Off.  

 

Trans has to come out of it.

 

When they changed the fluid, did they do a flush/exchange?  Or did they actually drop the pan?

 

Also, the tech couldn't have "looked" at the converter and said "yep its good".  Its a welded together item.  

 

At a minimum, and if you are lucky, you will need just a new converter.  The problem is, if the converter has been going over time and is just now setting codes, then there will be converter clutch debris in the trans and in the pan.  So expect a converter, new pump housings if they are scored, new valve body and TEHCM (the TCM and solenoid control assembly), possibly some other clutches like 4-5-6 clutches.  

 

No matter what repair gets done, do the transmission thermostat pill flip, the SureCool delete kit or the new lower temp thermostat from GM to drop your temps.

If you don't ask for it specifically I'm 99% sure they don't drop the pan for a normal transmission fluid service.  I asked a service writer at a local dealership.  I believe it was around $200 or so for a transmission fluid flush, but that didn't include anything involving pan removal.  So I did it myself, 2 gallons of the appropriate ACDelco fluid, filter, brake cleaner, and plenty of paper towels.  Exhaust didn't have to come out either, followed the tips here about making gentle clearance with a scissor jack.

With that being said I do remember what seemed like all of the 2016-2016 truck and SUV models having the issues with their torque converters.

He dropped the pan, I know that because he wanted permission to do so. He said everything looked good.The code that  stays is p0700, the p741 is pending and comes and go.

P0700 just points to a general fault and not a direct fault. That code just means there is a problem. If the other code is a P0741, that is the direct fault and likely the cause of your whole issue with the transmission.

 

Torque converter failures are one of the most common issues with the 6L80e.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
