The code is for the torque converter clutch solenoid or circuit problem. The solenoid and the wiring will need to be tested following the manufacture pinpoint test to see if the solenoid is bad or the wiring or computer is at fault. The most common problem is the solenoid is bad and would need replaced. I recommend having a professional technician, such as one from YourMechanic, inspect your acceleration problem for a proper diagnosis and repair.
