My 06' Threw a P1744 Code? Need some help!
Hey guys. Im new to the forum so if this is posted in the wrong section im sorry. I have an 06' F150 fx4 with about 35k miles on it and today while driving, it threw a P1744 Torque Converter Clutch System Stuck in Off Position code. I did some looking on the web and couldn't find anything about this problem on a F150 so, I guess what im asking is any ideas on how to fix this or what exactly the problem is? Thanks for all the help!

Component: TCC
Condition: The PCM picked up an excessive amount of TCC slippage during normal vehicle operation.
Symptom: TCC slippage/erratic or no torque converter clutch operation.
Only readily available issues are probably the shift linkage and the electrical stuff (you'll need a manual to go through the self test and start trouble shooting)
You comfortable going in the tranny? If not you're probably going to need to go to a mechanic on this one.
If you are, get your hands on a service manual or subscribe to alldatadiy.com, and start going through the pinpoint test.

All I could find was pretty much exactly what GATORB8 said Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) Solenoid. If you can find a diagram of your transmission I've heard of people replacing these fairly cheap compared to bringing it to a shop but if you're not comfortable taking apart the tranny you might be better off taking it to a shop.

Hey thanks for the help guys. I talked to the local ford shop today and they said pretty much the same thing. That is was most likely the solenoid. Its a bummer that I gotta to do this cause I just saved enough pennys to get 4.56's put in. Guess they'll have to wait till I get the tranny fixed. Thanks again for the help and I'll let you all know what I figure out.

Digging up an old thread. I have an 05 and just got the same code. Did you replace the solenoid and did that fix the problem?

I got it from Advance Auto. Made by Wells. If I recall I think it was $45. I also watched a video and read a few articles about it prior to install. Yes, it was pretty straight forward after watching videos on how to do it.
