Need to have it checked by a tranny shop as you may need to have the tranny apart for the repair

Install a scan tool. Turn ignition on, engine off. Before clearing the DTCs, use the scan tool to record the freeze frame and failure records for reference. Using the CLEAR INFO function will erase the stored freeze frame and failure records from the PCM. Record the freeze frame and failure records. Clear the DTCs. Start the engine. With the scan tool, observe TCC release pressure. Does the scan tool indicate YES for TCC release pressure? If so, go to step 5. If not, go to next step.

The TCC control valve.
The TCC regulator apply valve.
The TCC PWM solenoid valve.
The pressure regulator valve.

The cooling system for plugging.
The cooling lines may be pinched.

The TCC PWM solenoid valve and "O" ring seal for leaks.
The TCC PWM solenoid valve filter for plugging.
