Thread: tcc engages at ~93*F. is this pcm controlled?

just noticed lately with my setup: 3.29 gearing, GM auxilary trans cooler, and 180* t-stat. th weather's been no higher than 40*F and i recently noticed my tcc wont engage until it reaches ~93*F according to my LS1M. i was told from a few others that their tcc engages at other temp ranges such as 70*F but i dont know if they were using a trans cooler or not and the trans fluid heated up quicker than mine. also on days where the ambient temps were above 40*F(which is rare since its still winter) i noticed my TCC wouldnt engage until roughly 110-115*F. anyone know why? trannyman? anyone? i havent paid attention to where my engine coolant temp(ect) was at when my trans temp reached 93*F or at 110-115*F. so is this PCM controlled or just how the fluid is being circulated based on the temp of the fluid or a little bit of both?

yea i was thinking the same. however since im running a trans cooler, the additional pathway might take longer for the fluid to reach 68-77*F along the way somewhere depending on where the pcm picks up the trans temp and the other area its already reading 93*F or warmer. thats one theory anyway.

my car's a 98 gtp. i do have a powertuner but it doesnt show any tables that involve when the tcc engages on a cold motor. i also looked into a program a few members on CGP put together called tiny tuner that has access to a few other tables the powertuner doesnt include but unfortunately doesnt show any tables regarding this particular issue.

bilemke, its not in my version of the tiny tuner. any chance u can email me the latest version and under what folder it is in? my email's ftcheou@gmail.com
thanks bilemke =)
