AFAIK,there's NO electronics in a torque converter;it's all in the
planetary gear ****ft solenoids.
fluid torque converters are just single stage hydraulic turbines.
you need to get that coolant level you mentioned in another post brought
up
to proper levels and air bled out from the system;the coolant temp
sensor(CTS) needs to be fully immersed or it gives wrong temp readings to
the ECU.
