UNPLUG IT! I DID & HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS YET & THAT WAS A YEAR AGO!!
in my 2003 bonneville i got same code number and was told its a torque convertor clutch solenoid circut stuck on
Code 37 means An open or shorted condition detected in the torque convertor clutch solenoid circuit

This code relates to the torque convertor clutch control system, similar to the P1870 code found in other GM models. The usual problem here is slipping in the torque convertor's viscous clutch and possibly a solenoid problem. The most common repair would be to remove the transmission and replace the electronic pressure control solenoid (EPC), the torque convertor clutch solenoid (TCC), and replace the torque convertor to an aftermarket upgraded unit the eliminates the viscous clutch (available from several suppliers that install the upgraded "Sonnax" brand convertor parts). This would also be the time to replace the internal filter inside the side cover (only accessible when the transmission is removed from the car) and both scavenger filters in the lower pan. It is usually not necessary to dismantle the transmission past removing the side cover. Re-install the transmission, re-scan and clear codes. NOTE: This installation is not for a novice mechanic, the Cadillac is a very labour intensive "remove & replace" on the transmission and requires special tools and training.
The torque convertor uses transmission fluid and is filled by the transmission's internal pump. When you start out with a new convertor, it's a good idea to put a quart of fluid in before installing it on the transmission. When the transmission dipstick shows full, the convertor is also full. An empty torque convertor holds several quarts, depending on the size.
The torque converter solenoid is inside the transmission on the valve body.The torque converter solenoid is inside the transmission on the valve body.
No, there is not.
it is a transmission torque converter solenoid!!
there is a part on the transmission called the torque convertor solenoid ..intown driving your car is not moving very fast,out of town or freeway driving your creating alot of heat ,the torque convertor solenoid is going out ,soon it will stall intown also as it gets worse.you can have it replaced or you can unplug it and your car will run fine ..the purpose of the solenoid is to downshift your automatic transmission when coming to a stop ..you can try this to be sure it is this part..shift car to neutral as you come to stop if car does not stall then that's your problem.if it does then it is most likely something in your throttle body ,idle control solenoid etc.,
It is easier to do if you install the torque convertor to the transmission and then attempt to bolt it to the flywheel. You will have to turn the convertor or flywheel to line up the bolt holes.
The 1997 Ford Taurus torque converter solenoid can be found on the side of the transmission. The torque converter solenoid will be on the left hand side of the transmission.
