The torque converter locked up so I replaced it. I also replaced the solenoid on the valve body. Why am I getting code 37? How can I fix this?

Hi greenchevymalibu, Welcome to 2carpros and TY for the donation

Could be a bad wiring or the torque converter lock-up relay -inspect and test if okay have the transmission control module tested if separately from PCM/SBEC

I replaced torque converter lock-up relay. I just took off the pigtail to the torque converter lock up relay/splenoid and cleaned it. I will see what it does. I will post what happens. Thanks.

I cleaned the pigtail. And it drives fine now. It doesn't slip but I still have the engine codes why?

You probably need a DRB2 to clear the code.

Could be a problem with the SBEC not providing the ground circuit to the TCC solenoid or a wiring problem to the TCC solenoid
