Severity of P0724 OBD II Trouble Code

This code should be treated as urgent because severe internal transmission damage could result if the TCC lockup is inoperable over a long period of time. Most models are designed so that the PCM will disable TCC lockup, and place the transmission control system in limp-in mode, if a code of this type is stored.
