Yes hello I just replaced my tcc lockup solenoid cause I was getting a code po740 but now I’m getting a code p1753 and sometimes the d light will flash. It says the code is problem in torque converter clutch solenoid valve circuit Other code is po700.

Please help me

The P0700 is just a placeholder code to tell the scan tool that there is a code(s) stored for the transmission. The D will flash when a fault is set concerning the transmission. The P0740 code would set the P0700, then if that is repaired but you now have the P1753 which is actually a code referencing the same solenoid, and pretty much the same problem. I've attached the testing process. Follow that and see what you find. When you tested earlier, what was the transmission line pressure? Low pressure could also be related to this code.

Would not bolting down the ground bracket back onto the transmission cause this code p1753 because I replaced the torque converter lock up solenoid, which was the P0740 and it’s the same part but for some reason, the bracket on the harness will not go back onto the Transmission or fit in place properly. I’m not sure why this is being that. It’s the same part. Maybe you could have any input onto how this bracket fits or which way it goes back onto the Transmission.

Is there another solenoid that is similar to the lockup solenoid or is it a shift solenoid because I replaced what was from my knowledge on top of transmission the lockup solenoid is located or am I wrong because I believe it sits under the distributor

Where is lockup solenoid A on the lockup solenoid which one is it and what color wire

Both solenoids are part of the same assembly. The part grounds through the assembly and should have 2 wires on it. The Yellow is solenoid A and the Green is B If you measure between each wire and ground you should see 14-25 ohms. The wires feed directly to the PCM so you could also test there as well. Say you have 18 ohms at the solenoid but you test at the PCM and see infinity, the wire is broken. Or you see 50 ohms, there is a bad or corroded connector.

Ok well if it is a broken wire then how do I find it and or fix that issue? Also would dirty worn fluid cause the p1753? The lock up solenoid is brand new so everything looks good there at the part and all the connectors so I’m not sure where or how to figure out what the cause of this code is. I need more information to kind of pinpoint this so I can fix it. Reply.

The first step is to measure the resistance of the coils in the new solenoid, just because it's a new part doesn't mean it cannot be bad, see that a lot these days. If both coils read the same or very close in resistance, then you move to the PCM, which is behind the right kick panel in the interior of the car. There you follow the testing process in the earlier post. You are looking there to see if the resistance is the same at the PCM connection as it was at the solenoids. If it isn't then you know that there is a problem in the wiring. The test process would show you if the wire is broken, shorted to ground or shorted to power. The code is a circuit code, so it is electrical and not related to the fluid or anything else in the transmission. To do the tests you need a multimeter. https://www.2carpros.com/articles/how-to-use-a-voltmeter/
Then just follow the test procedure. If it shows a broken wire, follow the wiring harness from the solenoid looking for damage. If you find it, repair it and clear the code. This is a continuous code so if it returns, you still have an issue.
