Have a 99 ford escort with a2.0liter engine what does code 1744 mean
P1744 does not say the TC (Torque Converter) is stuck off, it means that the PCM (Powertrain Control Module) has
detected excessive slip in the TC.
Refer to the section in the WSM (Workshop Service Manual) that is applicable for your
transmission for diagnosis.
Usually it means that the TC hasn't been getting enough hydraulic
pressure in the TC apply circuit to lock it and it slips. When it
slips, the clutch surface in the TC is usually ruined.
You'll need to have the hydraulic concern repaired first, then
replace the TC.
Hope help with this (remember rated this post).
