The three modes are Normal, torque converter clutch open, and torque converter clutch closed. Technician will need to press and hold the tow\-haul mode button for five seconds to disable grade braking to prevent downshifts during test. Technician will need to duplicate the concern in Normal mode. If the concern is gone in torque converter clutch open and closed then the torque converter should be replaced.
