P2783: Torque Converter Temperature Too High

What does P2783 mean?

The TCM detects that torque converter temperature exceeds the calibrated upper limit. Continuous slipping or insufficient cooling causes overheating and risks transmission damage.

The code tells you which monitor failed, not which part is broken. Test before replacing parts.

Common causes

  • High Low transmission fluid level
  • Medium Blocked transmission cooler
  • Medium Excessive TCC slip
