Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Description of Business	1. Description of Business Tenneco Inc. ("Tenneco" or "the Company") was formed under the laws of Delaware in 1996. Tenneco designs, manufactures, and sells products and services for light vehicle, commercial truck, off-highway, industrial, and aftermarket customers. The Company is one of the world's leading manufacturers of clean air, powertrain, and ride performance products and systems, and serves both original equipment manufacturers ("OEM") and replacement markets worldwide. On January 10, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of a 90.5% ownership interest in Öhlins Intressenter AB (“Öhlins”, the "Öhlins Acquisition"), a Swedish technology company that develops premium suspension systems and components for the automotive and motorsport industries. On October 1, 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of a 100% ownership interest in Federal-Mogul LLC ("Federal-Mogul Acquisition," and together with the Öhlins Acquisition, the "Acquisitions"), a global supplier of technology and innovation in vehicle and industrial products for fuel economy, emissions reductions, and safety systems.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Accounting Policies	2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation — Interim Financial Statements Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) management believes are necessary to fairly state the results of operations, comprehensive income, financial position, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows. The Company's management believes the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading when read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 , which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 18, 2019. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019 . The Company expects to separate its businesses to form two new, independent publicly traded companies, an Aftermarket and Ride Performance company ("DRiV") and a new Powertrain Technology company ("New Tenneco"). The Company has revised its timing target for the separation of the business and now expects the DRiV spinoff to occur mid-2020. In preparation for the spinoff, the Company began to manage and report its DRiV businesses through two new operating segments, in the first quarter of 2019, as compared to the three operating segments it had previously reported. The DRiV operating segments consist of Motorparts and Ride Performance. The new Motorparts operating segment consists of the previously reported Aftermarket operating segment as well as the aftermarket portion of the previously reported Motorparts operating segment. The Ride Performance operating segment consists of the previously reported Ride Performance operating segment as well as the OE Braking business that was included in the previously reported Motorparts operating segment. As such, prior period operating segment results and related disclosures have been conformed to reflect the Company's current operating segments. The future New Tenneco consists of two existing operating segments, Powertrain and Clean Air. See Note 17, Segment Information . Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests — The Company has noncontrolling interests with redemption features. These redemption features could require the Company to make an offer to purchase the noncontrolling interests at fair value in the event of a change in control of Tenneco Inc. or certain of its subsidiaries. The redemption of these redeemable noncontrolling interests is not solely within the Company's control. Accordingly, these noncontrolling interests are presented in the temporary equity section of the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company does not believe it is probable the redemption features related to these noncontrolling interest securities will be triggered, as a change in control event is generally not probable until it occurs, except as discussed in Note 3, Acquisitions and Divestitures for the redeemable noncontrolling interests from the Acquisitions. The following is a rollforward of activities in the Company's redeemable noncontrolling interests for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 : Three months ended March 31, 2019 2018 Balance at beginning of period $ 138 $ 42 Net income (loss) attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests 5 7 Other comprehensive income (loss) 2 1 Acquisition and other 16 — Purchase accounting measurement period adjustment (8 ) — Balance at end of period $ 153 $ 50 The Company recorded a decrease to the redeemable noncontrolling interests of $8 million from the Federal-Mogul Acquisition, as a result of adjustments made in the measurement period to the preliminary purchase price allocation. The purchase price allocations for the Acquisitions are preliminary and subject to finalization. The Company's current estimates and assumptions may change as a result. See Note 3, Acquisitions and Divestitures for additional information. Earnings (loss) per share: Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the weighted average effect of all potentially dilutive securities from the date of issuance. Actual weighted average shares outstanding used in calculating earnings (loss) per share were: Three months ended March 31, 2019 2018 Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding 80,874,637 51,211,643 Effect of dilutive securities: Restricted stock, PSUs and RSUs — 216,351 Stock options — 73,649 Dilutive shares outstanding 80,874,637 51,501,643 For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share excluded 1,714,950 and 174 of share-based awards. The effect of including these securities in the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share would have been anti-dilutive. Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements The Company identified an error in the accounting for certain costs capitalized into inventory that did not constitute inventoriable costs in its historical financial statements. The Company also revised for other immaterial errors related to various line items. As a result, certain amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements have been revised for the three months ended March 31, 2018 . These revisions were not material to the previously issued financial statements and are presented in the tables below. Reclassifications: Certain amounts in the prior years have been aggregated or disaggregated to conform to current year presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported earnings before income taxes and noncontrolling interests or net income, other comprehensive income (loss), current or total assets, current or total liabilities, and the cash provided (used) by operating, investing or financing activities within the condensed consolidated financial statements. The following tables present the effect of these reclassifications and revisions for the condensed consolidated financial statement line items adjusted in the affected periods included within this quarterly report: Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 As Reported Reclasses As Reclassified Revisions As Revised Condensed consolidated statement of income (loss) Revenues Net sales and operating revenues $ 2,574 $ — $ 2,574 $ 7 $ 2,581 Costs and expenses Cost of sales 2,198 (9 ) 2,189 4 2,193 Selling, general, and administrative 153 (2 ) 151 — 151 Depreciation and amortization 59 — 59 1 60 Engineering, research, and development 41 (1 ) 40 — 40 Restructuring charges and asset impairments — 12 12 — 12 2,451 — 2,451 5 2,456 Other expense (income) Loss on sale of receivables 3 (3 ) — — — Non-service pension and other postretirement benefit costs (credits) — 3 3 — 3 Other expense (income), net 3 (3 ) — — — 6 (3 ) 3 — 3 Earnings (loss) before interest expense, income taxes, and noncontrolling interests 117 3 120 2 122 Interest expense 20 3 23 — 23 Earnings (loss) before income taxes and noncontrolling interests 97 — 97 2 99 Income tax expense (benefit) 25 25 — 25 Net income (loss) 72 — 72 2 74 Less: Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests 14 14 — 14 Net income (loss) attributable to Tenneco Inc. $ 58 $ — $ 58 $ 2 $ 60 Earnings (loss) per share Basic earnings (loss) per share of common stock $ 1.13 $ — $ 1.13 $ 0.04 $ 1.17 Diluted earnings (loss) per share of common stock $ 1.13 $ — $ 1.13 $ 0.04 $ 1.17 Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 As Reported Reclasses As Reclassified Revisions As Revised Condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss) Net income (loss) $ 72 $ — $ 72 $ 2 $ 74 Other comprehensive income (loss)—net of tax Foreign currency translation adjustment 27 — 27 — 27 Defined benefit plans 3 — 3 — 3 30 — 30 — 30 Comprehensive income (loss) 102 — 102 2 104 Less: Comprehensive income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests 22 — 22 — 22 Comprehensive income (loss) attributable to common shareholders $ 80 $ — $ 80 $ 2 $ 82 Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 As Reported Reclasses As Reclassified Revisions As Revised Condensed consolidated statements of cash flow Operating Activities Net income (loss) $ 72 $ — $ 72 $ 2 $ 74 Net cash provided by (used by) operating activities — — — — — Investing Activities Net cash used by investing activities (53 ) — (53 ) — (53 ) Financing Activities Proceeds from term loans and notes — — — 6 6 Repayments of term loans and notes — (6 ) (6 ) (7 ) (13 ) Retirement of long-term debt (6 ) 6 — — — Borrowings on revolving lines of credit — — — 1,267 1,267 Payments on revolving lines of credit — — — (1,189 ) (1,189 ) Net increase (decrease) in revolver borrowings 77 — 77 (77 ) — Issuance (repurchase) of common shares (2 ) — (2 ) — (2 ) Cash dividends (13 ) — (13 ) — (13 ) Net increase (decrease) in bank overdrafts (4 ) — (4 ) — (4 ) Net increase (decrease) in short-term borrowings secured by accounts receivable (30 ) 30 — — — Other — (30 ) (30 ) — (30 ) Net cash provided by (used by) financing activities 22 — 22 — 22 Effect of foreign exchange rate changes on cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash 3 — 3 — 3 Increase (decrease) in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash (28 ) — (28 ) — (28 ) Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, beginning of period 318 — 318 — 318 Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, end of period $ 290 $ — $ 290 $ — $ 290 Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 As Reported Revisions As Revised Condensed consolidated statements of changes in shareholders' equity Accumulated Deficit Balance January 1 $ (946 ) $ (63 ) $ (1,009 ) Net income (loss) attributable to Tenneco Inc. 58 2 60 Cash dividends declared (13 ) — (13 ) Adjustments to adopt new accounting standards (1 ) — (1 ) Balance March 31 $ (902 ) $ (61 ) $ (963 ) Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (loss) Balance January 1 $ (541 ) $ 3 $ (538 ) Other comprehensive income (loss)—net of tax: Foreign currency translation adjustment 19 — 19 Defined benefit plans 3 — 3 Balance March 31 $ (519 ) $ 3 $ (516 ) Total Tenneco Inc.

The amendments in this update allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to accumulated deficit for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("TCJA"). The Company has elected not to adopt the optional reclassification. Leases — In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This update supersedes the lease requirements in Topic 840, Leases. The objective of Topic 842 is to establish the principles that lessees and lessors shall apply to report useful information to users of financial statements about the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flow arising from a lease. For public business entities, the standard is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company adopted this update on January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective method without the recasting of comparative periods’ financial information, as permitted by the transition guidance. The Company adopted the package of practical expedients that allows companies to not reassess and will carry forward historical conclusions related to contracts that contain leases, existing lease classification, and initial direct costs. It elected the land easements practical expedient allowing the Company not to reassess whether existing or expired land easements not accounted for as leases under previous guidance are or contain leases under the new guidance. It also did not adopt the hindsight practical expedient and has also made an accounting policy election to exempt leases with an initial term of twelve months or less from balance sheet recognition. Instead, short-term leases will be expensed over the lease term. As a part of the implementation efforts, the Company reviewed its internal control structure and modified and augmented, as necessary. Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of additional lease assets and lease liabilities of $387 million and $383 million , and a reduction of favorable lease intangibles of $4 million as of January 1, 2019. The standard did not materially affect the Company's condensed consolidated financial position or results of operations and had no effect on cash flows. See Note 14, Leases . Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted Intangibles — In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract. The amendments in this update align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). The accounting for the service element of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract is not affected by the amendments in this update.

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Acquisitions and Divestitures	ring the three months ended March 31, 2019 , the Company made measurement period adjustments based on further evaluation of available information to facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. The following table summarizes the preliminary fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date and the measurement period adjustments made during the three months ended March 31, 2019 : Initial Allocation Adjustments Revised Allocation Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash $ 277 $ — $ 277 Customer notes and accounts receivable 1,258 — 1,258 Other receivables 62 — 62 Inventories 1,551 — 1,551 Prepayments and other current assets 198 — 198 Property, plant and equipment 1,711 (28 ) 1,683 Long-term receivables 48 — 48 Goodwill 825 (46 ) 779 Intangibles 1,530 71 1,601 Investments in nonconsolidated affiliates 528 (15 ) 513 Deferred income taxes 166 — 166 Other assets 55 — 55 Total assets acquired 8,209 (18 ) 8,191 Short-term debt, including current maturities of long-term debt 130 — 130 Accounts payable 957 — 957 Accrued compensation and employee benefits 231 — 231 Accrued income taxes 49 — 49 Accrued expenses and other current liabilities 522 — 522 Long-term debt 1,315 — 1,315 Deferred income taxes 56 — 56 Pension and postretirement benefits 879 — 879 Deferred credits and other liabilities 124 (9 ) 115 Total liabilities assumed 4,263 (9 ) 4,254 Redeemable noncontrolling interests 96 (8 ) 88 Noncontrolling interests 143 (1 ) 142 Net assets and noncontrolling interests acquired $ 3,707 $ — $ 3,707 The primary areas of the preliminary purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized relate to the fair value of property, plant and equipment; intangible assets; unconsolidated affiliates; deferred income tax assets and liabilities; redeemable noncontrolling interests; and noncontrolling interests. Goodwill of $409 million was allocated to the Powertrain segment, $315 million was allocated to the Motorparts segment, and $55 million was allocated to the Ride Performance segment. The goodwill consists of the Company's expected future economic benefits that will arise from expected future product sales and synergies from combining Federal-Mogul with its existing portfolio of products. None of the goodwill is deductible for tax purposes. Other intangible assets acquired include the following: Estimated Fair Value Weighted-Average Useful Lives Definite-lived intangible assets: Customer platforms and relationships $ 978 10 years Technology rights 68 10 years Packaged kits know-how 54 10 years Catalogs 40 10 years Licensing agreements 64 4.5 years Land use rights 30 42.8 years Total definite-lived intangible assets 1,234 10.5 years Indefinite-lived intangible assets: Trade names and trademarks 367 Total $ 1,601 The Company recorded a $152 million step-up of inventory to its fair value as of the acquisition date based on the preliminary valuation and recognized $41 million as a non-cash charge to cost of goods sold during the three months ended March 31, 2019 related to the amortization of this step-up, as the acquired inventory was sold. The Company recognized $105 million as a non-cash charge to cost of goods sold during the year ended December 31, 2018 and expects to recognize the remaining amortization of the inventory step-up during 2019. In addition, the Company acquired $83 million in redeemable noncontrolling interests related to a subsidiary from the Federal-Mogul Acquisition. The Company initiated the process to make a tender offer for the shares it does not own due to the change in control in accordance with local regulations triggered by the acquisition. It is probable these shares will become redeemable during 2019 under the tender offer at a price that is representative of fair value and as a result, the noncontrolling interest is presented in the temporary equity section of the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The carrying amount for this redeemable noncontrolling interest represents its current redemption value at March 31, 2019 . The Company's condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2019 included net sales and operating revenues of $1,906 million and net loss of $39 million associated with the operating results of Federal-Mogul. Pro Forma Results The following table summarizes, on a pro forma basis, the combined results of operations of the Company and the Federal-Mogul Acquisition, and the related financing, if the transaction had occurred as of January 1, 2017. The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of either the actual consolidated results had the Federal-Mogul Acquisition occurred on January 1, 2017 or of future consolidated operating results. For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 2018 Net sales and operating revenues $ 4,484 $ 4,680 Earnings (loss) before income taxes and noncontrolling interests $ 30 $ 226 Net income (loss) attributable to Tenneco Inc. $ (70 ) $ 93 Basic earnings (loss) per share of common stock $ (0.87 ) $ 1.16 Diluted earnings (loss) per share of common stock $ (0.87 ) $ 1.16 These pro forma amounts have been calculated after applying the Company's accounting policies and the results presented above primarily reflect: (i) depreciation adjustments relating to fair value adjustments to property, plant, and equipment; (ii) amortization adjustments relating to fair value estimates of intangible assets; (iii) incremental interest expense, net on assumed indebtedness, the new credit facility, debt issuance costs, and fair value adjustments to debt; and (iv) cost of goods sold adjustments relating to fair value adjustments to inventory. Pro forma adjustments described above have been tax affected using the Company's effective rate during the respective periods. Assets Held for Sale On March 1, 2019, the Company sold its wipers business in the Motorparts segment for a sale price of $29 million , subject to adjustment based on terms of the sale agreement. Proceeds from the sale were $22 million , subject to customary working capital adjustments. Certain assets and liabilities of the business are still classified as held for sale within the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2019 and are expected to transfer in the second half of 2019. The related assets and liabilities were classified as held for sale as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 : March 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 Assets Inventories $ 3 $ 33 Other current assets — 5 Long-lived assets 1 23 Total assets held for sale $ 4 $ 61 Liabilities Accounts payable $ 2 $ 21 Accrued liabilities — 7 Other liabilities 1 11 Total liabilities held for sale $ 3 $ 39

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]
Restructuring Charges and Asset Impairments, Net	structuring and Other Charges The Company's restructuring activities are undertaken as necessary to execute management's strategy and streamline operations, consolidate and take advantage of available capacity and resources, and ultimately achieve net cost reductions. Restructuring activities include efforts to integrate and rationalize the Company's businesses and to relocate operations to best cost locations. The Company's restructuring charges consist primarily of employee costs (principally severance and/or termination benefits), and facility closure and other costs. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 , restructuring charges, net and asset impairments by segment are as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 2018 Clean Air $ 5 $ 1 Powertrain 1 — Ride Performance 13 8 Motorparts 4 3 Corporate 1 — $ 24 $ 12 During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company incurred charges for the following items: • The Company incurred $5 million in restructuring and related costs related to the accelerated move of the Beijing Ride Performance plant. The Company anticipates the move to be completed by the second quarter of 2019. • In October 2018, the Company announced a plan to close its Ride Performance plants in Owen Sound, Ontario and Hartwell, Georgia as part of an initiative to realign its manufacturing footprint, to enhance operational efficiency, and respond to changing market conditions and capacity requirements. The Company expects to complete the closure of the two facilities in the second quarter of 2020. The Company recorded charges of $6 million during the first quarter of 2019. • The Company incurred $6 million in restructuring and related costs related to a restructuring plan designed to achieve a portion of the synergies the Company anticipates achieving in connection with the Federal-Mogul Acquisition. Pursuant to the plan, the Company will reduce its headcount globally across all segments. The Company began implementing headcount reductions in January 2019 and these actions will continue throughout 2019. The Federal-Mogul Acquisition is discussed further in Note 3, Acquisitions and Divestitures . • The Company incurred $3 million restructuring and related costs related to the closing of its Clean Air plant in Rennes, France. The Company anticipates the closure to be completed by the end of 2019. • The Company incurred an additional $4 million in restructuring and related costs for cost improvement initiatives at various other operations around the world. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company incurred charges for the following items: • The Company incurred $7 million in restructuring and related costs related to the accelerated move of the Beijing Ride Performance plant. • The Company incurred an additional $5 million in restructuring and related costs for cost improvement initiatives at various other operations around the world.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets—Net	6. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, goodwill consists of the following: Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 Clean Air Powertrain Ride Performance Motorparts Total Gross carrying amount at beginning of period $ 22 $ 388 $ 210 $ 611 $ 1,231 Measurement period adjustments — 21 — (67 ) (46 ) Acquisitions — — 28 — 28 Gross carrying amount at end of period 22 409 238 544 1,213 Accumulated impairment loss at beginning of period — — (143 ) (219 ) (362 ) Impairment — — (60 ) — (60 ) Accumulated impairment loss at end of period — — (203 ) (219 ) (422 ) Net carrying value at end of period $ 22 $ 409 $ 35 $ 325 $ 791 The Öhlins Acquisition resulted in $28 million of goodwill which was included in the Ride Performance segment. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 , the Company made adjustments in the measurement period to the preliminary purchase price allocation for the Federal-Mogul Acquisition which affected the amount of goodwill recognized and a net reduction of $46 million was recorded. The purchase price allocations for the Acquisitions are preliminary and subject to finalization. The Company's current estimates and assumptions may change as a result. See Note 3, Acquisitions and Divestitures for additional information. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 , the Company performed a review of potential triggering events, including, among other items, its market capitalization levels and the reorganization of its reporting structure, and concluded no events indicated (other than the reorganization of its reporting structure) it was more likely than not the fair values of its reporting units had declined to below their carrying values at March 31, 2019 . If the Company’s market capitalization remains depressed for a sustained period of time or declines further, and if such a decline becomes indicative the fair value of the Company’s reporting units have declined to below their carrying values, an interim goodwill impairment test may need to be performed in future periods and may result in a material non-cash goodwill impairment charge. As noted above, the Company reorganized the reporting structure of its Aftermarket, Ride Performance, and Motorparts segments and the underlying reporting units within those segments. The Company reassigned assets and liabilities (excluding goodwill) to the reporting units affected. Goodwill was then reassigned to the reporting units using a relative fair value approach based on the fair value of the elements transferred and the fair value of the elements remaining within the original reporting units. The Company tested goodwill for impairment on a pre-reorganization basis and determined there was no impairment for the affected reporting units. The Company also performed an impairment analysis on a post-reorganization basis and determined $60 million of goodwill was impaired for two reporting units within its Ride Performance segment, one of which was a full impairment of the goodwill. Reporting Units The Company has nine reporting units that have goodwill at March 31, 2019 . The following table categorizes the Company’s goodwill by reporting unit according to the level of excess between the reporting unit’s fair value and carrying value giving effect to the first quarter impairment charges: Fair value exceeds carrying value Goodwill Reporting units 1-6 < 15% $ 354 Reporting units 7-9 > 15% 437 $ 791 At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company's intangible assets consist of the following: March 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 Useful Lives Gross Carrying Value Accumulated Amortization Net Carrying Value Gross Carrying Value Accumulated Amortization Net Carrying Value Definite-lived intangible assets: Customer relationships and platforms 10 years $ 1,019 $ (50 ) $ 969 $ 964 $ (24 ) $ 940 Customer contract 10 years 8 (6 ) 2 8 (5 ) 3 Patents 10 to 17 years 1 (1 ) — 1 (1 ) — Technology rights 10 to 30 years 135 (28 ) 107 98 (27 ) 71 Packaged kits know-how 10 years 54 (3 ) 51 36 (1 ) 35 Catalogs 10 years 40 (2 ) 38 — — — Licensing agreements 3 to 5 years 63 (7 ) 56 66 (3 ) 63 Land use rights 28 to 46 years 45 (2 ) 43 44 (2 ) 42 1,365 (99 ) 1,266 1,217 (63 ) 1,154 Indefinite-lived intangible assets: Trade names and trademarks 421 — 421 365 — 365 Total $ 1,786 $ (99 ) $ 1,687 $ 1,582 $ (63 ) $ 1,519 The Company recorded definite-lived and indefinite-lived intangible assets of $135 million as a result of the Öhlins Acquisition. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 , the Company made adjustments in the measurement period to the preliminary purchase price allocation for the Federal-Mogul Acquisition which affected the amount of definite-lived and indefinite-lived intangible assets recognized and a net increase of $71 million was recorded. The purchase price allocations for the Acquisitions are preliminary and subject to finalization. The Company's current estimates and assumptions may change as a result. See Note 3, Acquisitions and Divestitures for additional information. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 , amortization expense was $35 million and less than $1 million which is included in "Depreciation and amortization" within the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss). The expected future amortization expense for the Company's definite-lived intangible assets is as follows: 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 and thereafter Total Expected amortization expense $ 106 $ 140 $ 139 $ 134 $ 131 $ 616 $ 1,266

Derivatives and Hedging Activit

Derivatives and Hedging Activities	3 Months Ended

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivatives and Hedging Activities	8. Derivatives and Hedging Activities The Company is exposed to market risk, such as fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity compensation liabilities, and changes in interest rates, which may result in cash flow risks. For exposures not offset within its operations, the Company enters into various derivative transactions pursuant to its risk management policies, which prohibit holding or issuing derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. Designation of derivative instruments is performed on a transaction basis to support hedge accounting. The changes in fair value of these hedging instruments are offset in part or in whole by corresponding changes in the fair value or cash flows of the underlying exposures being hedged. The Company assesses the initial and ongoing effectiveness of its hedging relationships in accordance with its documented policy. Market Risks Foreign Currency Risk — The Company manufactures and sells its products in North America, South America, Asia, Europe, and Africa. As a result, the Company's financial results could be significantly affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions in foreign markets in which the Company manufactures and sells its products. The Company generally tries to use natural hedges within its foreign currency activities, including the matching of revenues and costs, to minimize foreign currency risk. Where natural hedges are not in place, the Company considers managing certain aspects of its foreign currency activities and larger transactions through the use of foreign currency options or forward contracts. Principal currencies hedged have historically included the U.S. dollar, euro, British pound, Polish zloty, Mexican peso, and Canadian dollar. Concentrations of Credit Risk — Financial instruments including cash equivalents and derivative contracts expose the Company to counterparty credit risk for non-performance. The Company's counterparties for cash equivalents and derivative contracts are banks and financial institutions that meet the Company's requirement of high credit standing. The Company's counterparties for derivative contracts are substantial investment and commercial banks with significant experience using such derivatives. The Company manages its credit risk through policies requiring minimum credit standing and limiting credit exposure to any one counterparty and through monitoring counterparty credit risks. The Company's concentration of credit risk related to derivative contracts at March 31, 2019 and 2018 is not material. Other — The Company presents its derivative positions and any related material collateral under master netting agreements on a net basis. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, changes in the time value are excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. Unrealized gains and losses associated with ineffective hedges, determined using the hypothetical derivative method, are recognized in "Cost of sales" in the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss). Derivative gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) for effective hedges are reclassified into operations upon recognition of the hedged transaction. Derivative gains and losses associated with undesignated hedges are recognized in "Cost of sales" in the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss). Derivative Instruments Foreign Currency Forward Contracts — The Company enters into foreign currency forward purchase and sale contracts to mitigate its exposure to changes in exchange rates on certain intercompany and third-party trade receivables and payables. In managing its foreign currency exposures, the Company identifies and aggregates existing offsetting positions and then hedges residual exposures through third-party derivative contracts. The gains or losses on these contracts is recognized in "Cost of sales" in the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss). The fair value of foreign currency forward contracts are recorded in "Prepayments and other current assets" or "Accrued expenses and other current liabilities" in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the Company's foreign currency forward contracts was a net asset position of less than $1 million at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 . The following table summarizes by position the notional amounts for foreign currency forward contracts as of March 31, 2019 (all of which mature in 2019): Notional Amount Long positions $ (33 ) Short positions $ 33 Cash-Settled Share Swap Transactions — In 2017, the Company entered into an equity swap agreement. The Company selectively uses cash-settled share swaps to reduce market risk associated with its deferred compensation liabilities. These equity deferred compensation liabilities increase as the Company's stock price increases and decrease as the Company's stock price decreases. In contrast, the value of the swap agreement moves in the opposite direction of these liabilities, allowing the Company to fix a portion of the liabilities at a stated amount. As of March 31, 2019 , the Company had hedged its deferred compensation liability related to approximately 250,000 common share equivalents. The fair value of the equity swap agreement is recorded in "Prepayments and other current assets" in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the Company's equity swap agreement was a net asset position of $3 million at March 31, 2019 and $4 million at December 31, 2018 . Hedging Instruments Cash Flow Hedges — Commodity Price Risk — The Company’s production processes are dependent upon the supply of certain raw materials that are exposed to price fluctuations on the open market. The primary purpose of the Company’s commodity price forward contract activity is to manage the volatility associated with forecasted purchases for up to eighteen months in the future. The Company monitors its commodity price risk exposures regularly to maximize the overall effectiveness of its commodity forward contracts. Principal raw materials hedged include copper, tin, and zinc. In certain instances within this program, foreign currency forwards may be used in order to match critical terms for commodity exposure. The Company has designated these contracts as cash flow hedging instruments. The Company records unrecognized gains and losses in other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI or OCL”) and makes regular reclassifying adjustments into “Cost of sales” within the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) when the underlying hedged transaction is recognized in earnings. The Company had commodity derivatives outstanding with an equivalent notional amount of $26 million as of March 31, 2019 and $27 million as of December 31, 2018 . Substantially all of the commodity price hedge contracts mature within one year. Net Investment Hedge — Foreign Currency Borrowings — The Company has foreign currency denominated debt, €769 million of which was designated as a net investment hedge in certain foreign subsidiaries and affiliates of the Company. Changes to its carrying value are included in shareholders' equity in the foreign currency translation component of OCL and offset against the translation adjustment on the underlying net assets of those foreign subsidiaries and affiliates, which are also recorded in OCL. The Company’s debt instruments are discussed further in Note 10, Debt and Other Financing Arrangements . The following table is a summary of the carrying value of derivative and non-derivative instruments designated as hedges as of March 31, 2019 : Carrying Value Balance sheet classification March 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 Commodity price hedge contracts designated as cash flow hedges Prepayments and other current assets $ 2 $ — Commodity price hedge contracts designated as cash flow hedges Accrued expenses and other current liabilities $ — $ 2 Foreign currency borrowings designated as net investment hedges Long-term debt $ 862 $ 863 The following table represents the effects before reclassification into net income of derivative and non-derivative instruments designated as hedges in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as of March 31, 2019 : Amount of gain (loss) recognized in accumulated OCI or OCL (effective portion): Three months ended March 31, 2019 Commodity price hedge contracts designated as cash flow hedges $ 4 Foreign currency borrowings designated as net investment hedges $ (19 ) The Company estimates $4 million included in accumulated OCI or OCL as of March 31, 2019 will be reclassified into earnings within the following 12 months.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	three-level valuation hierarchy, based upon observable and unobservable inputs, is used for fair value measurements. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions based on the best evidence available. A financial instrument’s categorization within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy definition prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into the following levels: Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 — Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly. Level 3 — Unobservable inputs based on our own assumptions. Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis The following table presents assets and liabilities included in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 that are recognized at fair value on a recurring basis, and indicate the fair value hierarchy utilized to determine such fair value: March 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 Fair value Carrying Fair Carrying Fair Derivative instruments: Equity swap agreement Level 2 $ 3 $ 3 $ 4 $ 4 Commodity contracts Level 2 $ 2 $ 2 $ (2 ) $ (2 ) Cash-Settled Share Swap Transactions — The fair value of the equity swap agreement is recorded in "Prepayments and other current assets" in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Commodity Contracts — The Company calculates the fair value of its commodity contracts and foreign currency contracts using quoted commodity forward rates and quoted currency forward rates, to calculate forward values, and then discounts the forward values. The discount rates for all derivative contracts are based on quoted bank deposit rates. The fair value of the Company's foreign currency forward contracts was a net asset position of less than $1 million at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 . Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis In addition to items measured at fair value on a recurring basis, assets may be measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets include long-lived assets and intangible assets which may be written down to fair value as a result of impairment. The Company has determined the fair value measurements related to each of these rely primarily on Company-specific inputs and the Company's assumptions about the use of the assets, as observable inputs are not available (level 3). To determine the fair value of long-lived asset groups, the Company utilizes discounted cash flows expected to be generated by the long-lived asset group. The Company evaluates the carrying value of its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually in the fourth quarter of each year. These fair value measurements require the Company to make significant assumptions and estimates about the extent and timing of future cash flows, discount rates, and growth rates, which are subject to a high degree of uncertainty. The Company believes the assumptions and estimates used to determine the estimated fair value are reasonable, but different assumptions could materially affect the estimated fair value. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company reorganized its reporting structure of its Aftermarket, Ride Performance, and Motorparts segments and the underlying reporting units within those segments. The Company tested goodwill for impairment on a pre-reorganization basis and determined there was no impairment for the affected reporting units. The Company also performed an impairment analysis on a post-reorganization basis and determined $60 million of goodwill was impaired for two reporting units within its Ride Performance segment, one of which was a full impairment of the goodwill. See Note 6, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets . Financial Instruments Not Carried at Fair Value Estimated fair values of the Company's outstanding debt were: March 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 Fair value Carrying Fair Carrying Fair Long-term debt (including current maturities): Term loans and senior notes Level 2 $ 5,386 $ 5,285 $ 5,307 $ 5,218 The fair value of the Company's public senior notes and private borrowings under its senior credit facility is based on observable inputs, and its borrowings on the revolving credit facility approximate fair value. The Company also had $104 million and $106 million at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 in other debt whose carrying value approximates fair value, which consists primarily of foreign debt with maturities of one year or less. Assets and Liabilities Not Carried at Fair Value The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short and long-term receivables, accounts payable, and short-term debt approximates fair value.

Total unamortized debt issuance costs were $86 million and $90 million as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Total unamortized debt (premium) discount, net was $(45) million and $(49) million as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Term Loans On October 1, 2018, the Company entered into a new credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and other lenders (the "New Credit Facility") in connection with the Federal-Mogul Acquisition. The New Credit Facility provides $4.9 billion of total debt financing, consisting of a five -year $1.5 billion revolving credit facility, a five -year $1.7 billion term loan A facility ("Term Loan A") and a seven -year $1.7 billion term loan B facility ("Term Loan B"). The effective interest rate on the Term Loan A was 4.396% and 6.031% on Term Loan B. Senior Notes The Company has outstanding 5.375% senior unsecured notes due December 15, 2024 ("2024 Senior Notes") and 5.000% senior unsecured notes due July 15, 2026 ("2026 Senior Notes" and together with the 2024 Senior Notes, the "Senior Unsecured Notes"). The Company has outstanding 5.000% euro denominated fixed rate notes which are due July 15, 2024 (" 5.000% Euro Fixed Rate Notes"), 4.875% euro denominated fixed rate notes due April 15, 2022 (" 4.875% Euro Fixed Rate Notes"), and floating rate notes due April 15, 2024 ("Euro Floating Rate Notes", together with the 5.000% Euro Fixed Rate Notes and the 4.875% Euro Fixed Notes, the "Senior Secured Notes"). The Company had availability on its credit facilities as of March 31, 2019 as follows: Credit Facilities as of March 31, 2019 Term Available (b) (in billions) Tenneco Inc. revolving credit facility (a) 2023 $ 1.3 Tenneco Inc. Term Loan A 2023 — Tenneco Inc.

(b) Letters of credit reduce the available borrowings under the revolving credit facility, as of March 31, 2019 the revolving credit facility had $20 million in letters of credit outstanding. Interest expense associated with the amortization of the debt issuance costs and original issue discounts recognized in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) consist of the following: Three months ended March 31, 2019 2018 Amortization of debt issuance fees $ 5 $ 1 Included in the table above, is the amortization of debt issuance costs on the revolver, which are $21 million at March 31, 2019 and are recorded in "Prepayments and other current assets" in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. In addition, there was a $3 million reduction to interest expense during the three months ended March 31, 2019 related to the accretion of the debt premium on the Senior Secured Notes. New Credit Facility — Other Terms and Conditions — The New Credit Facility also contains two financial maintenance covenants for the revolving credit facility and the Term Loan A facility including a requirement to have a consolidated net leverage ratio (as defined in the New Credit Facility) as of the end of each fiscal quarter of not greater than 4.0 to 1 through September 30, 2019, 3.75 to 1 through September 30, 2020 and 3.5 to 1 thereafter; and a requirement to maintain a consolidated interest coverage ratio (as defined in the New Credit Facility) for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters of not less than 2.75 to 1. Senior Unsecured Notes and Senior Secured Notes — Other Terms and Conditions — The Senior Unsecured Notes and Senior Secured Notes contain covenants that will, among other things, limit the Company's ability to create liens and enter into sale and leaseback transactions. In addition, the Senior Secured Notes and 2024 Senior Unsecured Notes also require that, as a condition precedent to incurring certain types of indebtedness not otherwise permitted, the Company's consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio, as calculated on a pro forma basis, be greater than 2.00 , as well as containing restrictions on its operations, including limitations on: (i) incurring additional indebtedness; (ii) paying dividends; (iii) distributions and stock repurchases; (iv) investments; (v) asset sales and (vi) mergers and consolidations. Subject to limited exceptions, all of the Company's existing and future material domestic wholly owned subsidiaries fully and unconditionally guarantee its Senior Unsecured Notes and Senior Secured Notes on a joint and several basis. There are no significant restrictions on the ability of the subsidiaries that have guaranteed the Company's Senior Notes to make distributions to the Company. As of March 31, 2019 , the Company was in compliance with all of its financial covenants. Accounts Receivable Securitization and Factoring On-Balance Sheet Arrangements — The Company has securitization programs for some of its accounts receivable, with limited recourse provisions. Borrowings on these securitization programs, which are recorded in short-term debt, at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are as follows: March 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 Borrowings on securitization programs $ 3 $ 6 Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements — In the Company's European and U.S. accounts receivable factoring programs, accounts receivables are transferred in their entirety to the acquiring entities and are accounted for as a sale. The fair value of assets received as proceeds in exchange for the transfer of accounts receivable under these factoring programs approximates the fair value of such receivables. Certain programs in Europe have deferred purchase price arrangements with the banks. The Company is the servicer of the receivables under some of these arrangements and is responsible for performing all accounts receivable administration functions. Where the Company receives a fee to service and monitor these transferred accounts receivables, such fees are sufficient to offset the costs and as such, a servicing asset or liability is not recorded as a result of such activities. In the U.S and Canada, the Company participates in supply chain financing programs with certain of the Company's aftermarket customers through a drafting program. The amounts outstanding for these factoring and drafting arrangements as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are as follows: March 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 (in billions) Accounts receivable outstanding and derecognized $ 1.1 $ 1.0 The deferred purchase price receivable as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 is as follows: March 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 Deferred purchase price receivable $ 58 $ 154 Proceeds from the factoring of accounts receivable qualifying as sales are as follows: Three months ended March 31, 2019 2018 (in billions) Proceeds from factoring qualifying as sales $ 1.2 $ 0.8 Financing charges associated with the factoring of receivables are as follows: Three months ended March 31, 2019 2018 Financing charges on sale of receivables (a) $ 8 $ 3 (a) Amount is included in "Interest expense" in the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss). If the Company were not able to factor receivables or sell drafts under either of these programs, its borrowings under its revolving credit agreement might increase. These programs provide the Company with access to cash at costs that are generally favorable to alternative sources of financing and allow the Company to reduce borrowings under its revolving credit agreement.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	13. Commitments and Contingencies Environmental Matters The Company is subject to a variety of environmental and pollution control laws and regulations in all jurisdictions in which it operates. The Company has been notified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, other national environmental agencies, and various provincial and state agencies it may be a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) under such laws for the cost of remediating hazardous substances pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act ("CERCLA") and other national and state or provincial environmental laws. PRP designation typically requires the funding of site investigations and subsequent remedial activities. Many of the sites that are likely to be the costliest to remediate are often current or former commercial waste disposal facilities to which numerous companies sent wastes. Despite the potential joint and several liability which might be imposed on the Company under CERCLA and some of the other laws pertaining to these sites, its share of the total waste sent to these sites generally has been small. The Company believes its exposure for liability at these sites is not material. On a global basis, the Company has also identified certain other present and former properties at which it may be responsible for cleaning up or addressing environmental contamination, in some cases as a result of contractual commitments and/or federal or state environmental laws. The Company is seeking to resolve its responsibilities for those sites for which a claim has been received. The Company expenses or capitalizes, as appropriate, expenditures for ongoing compliance with environmental regulations. As of March 31, 2019 , the Company has an obligation to remediate or contribute towards the remediation of certain sites, including the sites discussed above at which it may be a PRP. The Company maintains the aggregated estimated share of environmental remediation costs for all these sites on a discounted basis in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as follows: March 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 Accrued expenses and other current liabilities $ 10 $ 12 Deferred credits and other liabilities 29 28 $ 39 $ 40 For those locations where the liability was discounted, the weighted average discount rate used was 1.7% and 2.9% at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The Company's expected payments of environmental remediation costs for non-indemnified locations are estimated to be approximately: 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 and thereafter Expected payments $ 8 $ 6 $ 3 $ 2 $ 2 $ 17 Based on information known to the Company from site investigations and the professional judgment of consultants, the Company has established reserves it believes are adequate for these costs. Although the Company believes these estimates of remediation costs are reasonable and are based on the latest available information, the costs are estimates, difficult to quantify based on the complexity of the issues, and are subject to revision as more information becomes available about the extent of remediation required. At some sites, the Company expects other parties will contribute to the remediation costs. In addition, certain environmental statutes provide the Company's liability could be joint and several, meaning the Company could be required to pay amounts in excess of its share of remediation costs. The financial strength of the other PRPs at these sites has been considered, where appropriate, in the determination of the estimated liability. The Company does not believe any potential costs associated with its current status as a PRP, or as a liable party at the other locations referenced herein, will be material to its annual consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. Asset Retirement Obligations The Company’s primary asset retirement obligations ("ARO") activities relate to the removal of hazardous building materials at its facilities. The Company records an ARO at fair value upon initial recognition when the amount is probable and can be reasonably estimated. ARO fair values are determined based on the Company’s determination of what a third party would charge to perform the remediation activities, generally using a present value technique. The Company maintains ARO liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as follows: March 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 Accrued expenses and other current liabilities $ 3 $ 3 Deferred credits and other liabilities 12 12 $ 15 $ 15 Antitrust Investigations and Litigation On March 25, 2014, representatives of the European Commission (EC) were at Tenneco GmbH's Edenkoben, Germany administrative facility to gather information in connection with an ongoing global antitrust investigation concerning multiple automotive suppliers. On the same date, the Company also received a related subpoena from the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”). On November 5, 2014, the DOJ granted conditional leniency to Tenneco, its subsidiaries and its 50% affiliates as of such date ("2014 Tenneco Entities") pursuant to an agreement the Company entered into under the Antitrust Division's Corporate Leniency Policy. This agreement provides important benefits to the 2014 Tenneco Entities in exchange for the Company's self-reporting of matters to the DOJ and its continuing full cooperation with the DOJ's resulting investigation. For example, the DOJ will not bring any criminal antitrust prosecution against the 2014 Tenneco Entities, nor seek any criminal fines or penalties, in connection with the matters the Company reported to the DOJ. Additionally, there are limits on the liability of the 2014 Tenneco Entities related to any follow-on civil antitrust litigation in the United States. The limits include single rather than treble damages, as well as relief from joint and several antitrust liability with other relevant civil antitrust action defendants. These limits are subject to the Company satisfying the DOJ and any court presiding over such follow-on civil litigation. On April 27, 2017, the Company received notification from the EC that it has administratively closed its global antitrust inquiry regarding the production, assembly, and supply of complete exhaust systems. No charges against the Company or any other competitor were initiated at any time and the EC inquiry is now closed. Certain other competition agencies are also investigating possible violations of antitrust laws relating to products supplied by the Company and its subsidiaries, including Federal-Mogul. The Company has cooperated and continues to cooperate fully with all of these antitrust investigations, and take other actions to minimize its potential exposure. The Company and certain of its competitors are also currently defendants in civil putative class action litigation, and are subject to similar claims filed by other plaintiffs, in the United States and Canada. More related lawsuits may be filed, including in other jurisdictions. Plaintiffs in these cases generally allege that defendants have engaged in anticompetitive conduct, in violation of federal and state laws, relating to the sale of automotive exhaust systems or components thereof. Plaintiffs seek to recover, on behalf of themselves and various purported classes of purchasers, injunctive relief, damages and attorneys’ fees. However, as explained above, because the DOJ granted conditional leniency to the 2014 Tenneco Entities, the Company's civil liability in U.S. follow-on actions with respect to these entities is limited to single damages and the Company will not be jointly and severally liable with the other defendants, provided that the Company has satisfied its obligations under the DOJ leniency agreement and approval is granted by the presiding court. Typically, exposure for follow-on actions in Canada is less than the exposure for U.S. follow-on actions. Following the EC’s decision to administratively close its antitrust inquiry into exhaust systems in 2017, receipt by the 2014 Tenneco Entities of conditional leniency from the DOJ and discussions during the third quarter of 2017 following the appointment of a special settlement master in the civil putative class action cases pending against the Company and/or certain of its competitors in the United States, the Company continues to vigorously defend itself and/or take actions to minimize its potential exposure to matters pertaining to the global antitrust investigation, including engaging in settlement discussions when it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. For example, in October 2017, the Company settled an administrative action brought by Brazil's competition authority for an amount that was not material. In December 2018, the Company settled a separate administrative action brought by Brazil’s competition authority against a Federal-Mogul subsidiary, also for an amount that was not material. Additionally, in February 2018, the Company settled civil putative class action litigation in the United States brought by classes of direct purchasers, end-payors and auto dealers. No other classes of plaintiffs have brought claims against the Company in the United States. Based upon those earlier developments, including settlement discussions, The Company established a reserve of $132 million in its second quarter 2017 financial results for settlement costs that were probable, reasonably estimable, and expected to be necessary to resolve its antitrust matters globally, which primarily involves the resolution of civil suits and related claims. Of the $132 million reserve that was established, $79 million was paid through March 31, 2019 resulting in a remaining reserve of $53 million as of March 31, 2019 , which is recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets. While the Company, including its Federal-Mogul subsidiaries, continues to cooperate with certain competition agencies investigating possible violations of antitrust laws relating to products supplied by the Company, and the Company may be subject to other civil lawsuits and/or related claims, no amount of this reserve is attributable to matters with the DOJ or the EC, and no such amount is expected based on current information. The Company's reserve for its antitrust matters is based upon all currently available information and an assessment of the probability of events for those matters where the Company can make a reasonable estimate of the costs to resolve such outstanding matters. The Company's estimate involves significant judgment, given the number, variety and potential outcomes of actual and potential claims, the uncertainty of future rulings and approvals by a court or other authority, the behavior or incentives of adverse parties or regulatory authorities, and other factors outside of its control. As a result, the Company's reserve may change from time to time, and actual costs may vary. Although the ultimate outcome of any legal matter cannot be predicted with certainty, based on current information, the Company does not expect that any such change in the reserve will have a material adverse effect on the Company's annual condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity. Other Legal Proceedings, Claims and Investigations For many years the Company has been and continues to be subject to lawsuits initiated by claimants alleging health problems as a result of exposure to asbestos. The Company's current docket of active and inactive cases is less than 500 cases in the United States and less than 50 in Europe. With respect to the claims filed in the United States, the substantial majority of the claims are related to alleged exposure to asbestos in the Company's line of Walker® exhaust automotive products although a significant number of those claims appear also to involve occupational exposures sustained in industries other than automotive. A small number of claims have been asserted against one of the Company's subsidiaries by railroad workers alleging exposure to asbestos products in railroad cars. The Company believes, based on scientific and other evidence, it is unlikely that U.S. claimants were exposed to asbestos by the Company's former products and that, in any event, they would not be at increased risk of asbestos-related disease based on their work with these products. Further, many of these cases involve numerous defendants, with the number in some cases exceeding 100 defendants from a variety of industries. Additionally, in many cases the plaintiffs either do not specify any, or specify the jurisdictional minimum, dollar amount for damages. With respect to the claims filed in Europe, the substantial majority relate to occupational exposure claims brought by current and former employees of Federal-Mogul facilities in France and amounts paid out were not material. A small number of occupational exposure claims have also been asserted against Federal-Mogul entities in Italy and Spain. As major asbestos manufacturers and/or users continue to go out of business or file for bankruptcy, the Company may experience an increased number of these claims. The Company vigorously defends itself against these claims as part of its ordinary course of business. In future periods, the Company could be subject to cash costs or charges to earnings if any of these matters are resolved unfavorably to the Company. To date, with respect to claims that have proceeded sufficiently through the judicial process, the Company has regularly achieved favorable resolutions. Accordingly, the Company presently believes that these asbestos-related claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity. The Company is also from time to time involved in other legal proceedings, claims or investigations. Some of these matters involve allegations of damages against the Company relating to environmental liabilities (including toxic tort, property damage and remediation), intellectual property matters (including patent, trademark and copyright infringement, and licensing disputes), personal injury claims (including injuries due to product failure, design or warning issues, and other product liability related matters), taxes, unclaimed property, employment matters, and commercial or contractual disputes, sometimes related to acquisitions or divestitures. Additionally, some of these matters involve allegations relating to legal compliance. While the Company vigorously defends itself against all of these legal proceedings, claims and investigations and take other actions to minimize its potential exposure, in future periods, the Company could be subject to cash costs or charges to earnings if any of these matters are resolved on unfavorable terms. Although the ultimate outcome of any legal matter cannot be predicted with certainty, based on current information, including the Company's assessment of the merits of the particular claim, except as described above under "Antitrust Investigations", the Company does expect the legal proceedings, claims or investigations currently pending against it will have any material adverse effect on its condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity. Warranty Matters The Company provides warranties on some of its products. The warranty terms vary but range from one year up to limited lifetime warranties on some of its premium aftermarket products. Provisions for estimated expenses related to product warranty are made at the time products are sold or when specific warranty issues are identified with the Company's products. These estimates are established using historical information about the nature, frequency, and average cost of warranty claims. The Company believes the warranty reserve is appropriate; however, actual claims incurred could differ from the original estimates, requiring adjustments to the reserve. The reserve is included in both current and long-term liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Below is a table that shows the activity in the warranty accrual accounts: Three months ended March 31, 2019 2018 Balance at beginning of period $ 45 $ 26 Accruals related to product warranties 5 6 Reductions for payments made (2 ) (3 ) Foreign currency — — Balance at end of period $ 48 $ 29

Income Taxes

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	12. Income Taxes For interim tax reporting, the Company estimates its annual effective tax rate and applies it to year-to-date ordinary income. Jurisdictions where no tax benefit can be recognized due to a valuation allowance are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate. The effect of including these jurisdictions on the quarterly effective rate calculation could result in a higher or lower effective tax rate during a particular quarter due to the mix and timing of actual earnings versus annual projections. The tax effects of certain items, including changes in judgment about valuation allowances and effects of changes in tax laws or rates, are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate calculation and recognized in the interim period in which they occur. The Company recognized no income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and $25 million in the three months ended March 31, 2018 . The tax expense recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2019 included a tax benefit of $2 million relating to changes in the toll tax as discussed below. On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("TCJA") was enacted into U.S. law, which, among other provisions, lowered the corporate income tax rate effective January 1, 2018 from 35% to 21%, and implemented significant changes with respect to U.S. tax treatment of earnings originating from outside the U.S. Many of the provisions of TCJA are subject to regulatory interpretation and U.S. state conforming enactments. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued final regulations, effective on February 5, 2019, which provided additional guidance to assist taxpayers in computing the toll tax. Based on the final regulations a $2 million discrete benefit was recorded in income tax expense the three months ended March 31, 2019 . The Company evaluates its deferred tax assets quarterly to determine if valuation allowances are required or should be adjusted. This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and amount of recent losses, the duration of statutory carryforward periods, and tax planning strategies. In making such judgments, significant weight is given to evidence that can be objectively verified. If recent operational improvements continue in our foreign subsidiaries or if certain restructuring steps are completed as part of the Federal-Mogul Acquisition and anticipated spin-off of DRiV, the Company believes it is reasonably possible sufficient positive evidence may be available to release all, or a portion, of its valuation allowance in the next twelve months in certain jurisdictions. This may result in a one-time tax benefit of up to $51 million , primarily related to Spain, China and Czech Republic. The Company believes it is reasonably possible up to $11 million in unrecognized tax benefits related to the expiration of foreign statute of limitations and the conclusion of income tax examinations may be recognized within the next twelve months .

Leases

Leases [Abstract]
Leases	14. Leases The Company has operating and finance leases for real estate and equipment. Generally, the leases have remaining terms of one month to ten years . Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less which do not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In addition, some leases include options to terminate the lease. The Company generally negotiates these termination clauses in anticipation of any changes in market conditions; however, because a termination option requires approval from management, the Company assumes the majority of its termination options will not be exercised when determining the lease term. The Company has elected the practical expedient to not separate non-lease components from the lease components to which they relate, and instead account for each separate lease and non-lease component associated with that lease component as a single lease component for all underlying asset classes. Accordingly, all costs associated with a lease contract are accounted for as lease cost. Lease expense is recorded in operating expenses in the results of operations. Some leasing arrangements require variable payments that are dependent on usage, output, or may vary for other reasons, such as insurance and tax payments. The variable portion of lease payments is not included in the computation of the right of use assets or lease liabilities.

Leases	14. Leases The Company has operating and finance leases for real estate and equipment. Generally, the leases have remaining terms of one month to ten years . Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less which do not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In addition, some leases include options to terminate the lease. The Company generally negotiates these termination clauses in anticipation of any changes in market conditions; however, because a termination option requires approval from management, the Company assumes the majority of its termination options will not be exercised when determining the lease term. The Company has elected the practical expedient to not separate non-lease components from the lease components to which they relate, and instead account for each separate lease and non-lease component associated with that lease component as a single lease component for all underlying asset classes. Accordingly, all costs associated with a lease contract are accounted for as lease cost. Lease expense is recorded in operating expenses in the results of operations. Some leasing arrangements require variable payments that are dependent on usage, output, or may vary for other reasons, such as insurance and tax payments. The variable portion of lease payments is not included in the computation of the right of use assets or lease liabilities. Rather, variable payments, other than those dependent upon a market index or rate, are expensed when the obligation for those payments is incurred and are included in lease expense in the results of operations. The Company does not include significant restrictions or covenants in our lease agreements, and residual value guarantees are generally not included within our operating leases. The components of lease cost were as follows: Three months ended March 31, 2019 Operating lease cost $ 33 Short-term lease expense 1 Variable lease cost 8 Total lease cost $ 42 Other information related to leases was as follows: Three months ended March 31, 2019 Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities Operating cash flows from operating leases $ 41 Supplemental balance sheet information related to leases was as follows: March 31, 2019 Operating leases Operating lease right-of-use assets (a) $ 362 Other current liabilities (b) $ 101 Other long-term liabilities (c) 256 Total operating lease liabilities $ 357 Finance leases Property, plant and equipment, gross $ 2 Accumulated depreciation — Total finance lease right-of-use assets $ 2 Other current liabilities (b) $ 1 Other long-term liabilities (c) 1 Total finance lease liabilities $ 2 (a) Included in "Other assets" in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Information	17. Segment Information The Company expects to separate its businesses to form two new, independent publicly traded companies and now expects the DRiV spinoff to occur mid-2020.As such, the Company began to manage and report its DRiV businesses through two new operating segments, in the first quarter of 2019, as compared to the three operating segments it had previously reported. The DRiV operating segments consist of Motorparts and Ride Performance. The new Motorparts operating segment consists of the previously reported Aftermarket operating segment as well as the aftermarket portion of the previously reported Motorparts operating segment. The Ride Performance operating segment consists of the previously reported Ride Performance operating segment as well as the OE Braking business that was included in the previously reported Motorparts operating segment. As such, prior period operating segment results have been conformed to reflect the Company's current operating segments. The future New Tenneco consists of two existing operating segments, Powertrain and Clean Air. Costs related to other business activities, primarily corporate headquarter functions, are disclosed separately from the four operating segments as "Corporate." Management uses EBITDA including noncontrolling interests as the key performance measure of segment profitability and uses the measure in its financial and operational decision making processes, for internal reporting, and for planning and forecasting purposes to effectively allocate resources. EBITDA including noncontrolling interests is defined as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, noncontrolling interests, and depreciation and amortization. Segment assets are not presented as it is not a measure reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker in allocating resources and assessing performance. EBITDA including noncontrolling interests should not be considered a substitute for results prepared in accordance with US GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income, which is the most directly comparable financial measure to EBITDA including noncontrolling interests that is in accordance with US GAAP. EBITDA including noncontrolling interests, as determined and measured by the Company, should not be compared to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The following table summarizes certain of the Company's segment information: Reportable Segments Clean Air Powertrain Ride Performance Motorparts Total Corporate Reclass & Elims Total For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 Revenues from external customers $ 1,779 $ 1,175 $ 733 $ 797 $ 4,484 $ — $ — $ 4,484 Intersegment revenues $ — $ 46 $ 46 $ 11 $ 103 $ — $ (103 ) $ — EBITDA, including noncontrolling interests $ 131 $ 113 $ (45 ) $ 45 $ 244 $ (99 ) $ — $ 145 For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 Revenues from external customers $ 1,756 $ — $ 513 $ 312 $ 2,581 $ — $ — $ 2,581 Intersegment revenues $ — $ — $ 6 $ — $ 6 $ — $ (6 ) $ — EBITDA, including noncontrolling interests $ 157 $ — $ 24 $ 45 $ 226 $ (44 ) $ — $ 182 Segment EBITDA including noncontrolling interests and the reconciliation to earnings before interest expense, income taxes, and noncontrolling interests are as follow: Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 2018 EBITDA including noncontrolling interests by Segments: Clean Air $ 131 $ 157 Powertrain 113 — Ride Performance (45 ) 24 Motorparts 45 45 Corporate (99 ) (44 ) Total EBITDA including noncontrolling interests 145 182 Less: Depreciation and amortization (169 ) (60 ) Earnings (loss) before interest expense, income taxes, and noncontrolling interests (24 ) 122 Less: Interest expense (81 ) (23 ) Less: Income tax expense (benefit) — (25 ) Net income (loss) $ (105 ) $ 74 Revenue from contracts with customers is disaggregated by customer type and geography, as it depicts the nature and amount of the Company’s revenue that is aligned with the Company's key growth strategies.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation — Interim Financial Statements Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) management believes are necessary to fairly state the results of operations, comprehensive income, financial position, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows. The Company's management believes the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading when read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 , which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 18, 2019. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019 . The Company expects to separate its businesses to form two new, independent publicly traded companies, an Aftermarket and Ride Performance company ("DRiV") and a new Powertrain Technology company ("New Tenneco"). The Company has revised its timing target for the separation of the business and now expects the DRiV spinoff to occur mid-2020. In preparation for the spinoff, the Company began to manage and report its DRiV businesses through two new operating segments, in the first quarter of 2019, as compared to the three operating segments it had previously reported. The DRiV operating segments consist of Motorparts and Ride Performance. The new Motorparts operating segment consists of the previously reported Aftermarket operating segment as well as the aftermarket portion of the previously reported Motorparts operating segment. The Ride Performance operating segment consists of the previously reported Ride Performance operating segment as well as the OE Braking business that was included in the previously reported Motorparts operating segment. As such, prior period operating segment results and related disclosures have been conformed to reflect the Company's current operating segments. The future New Tenneco consists of two existing operating segments, Powertrain and Clean Air. See Note 17, Segment Information .
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests	Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests — The Company has noncontrolling interests with redemption features. These redemption features could require the Company to make an offer to purchase the noncontrolling interests at fair value in the event of a change in control of Tenneco Inc. or certain of its subsidiaries. The redemption of these redeemable noncontrolling interests is not solely within the Company's control. Accordingly, these noncontrolling interests are presented in the temporary equity section of the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company does not believe it is probable the redemption features related to these noncontrolling interest securities will be triggered, as a change in control event is generally not probable until it occurs, except as discussed in
Earnings (loss) per share	Earnings (loss) per share: Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the weighted average effect of all potentially dilutive securities from the date of issuance.
Reclassifications	Reclassifications: Certain amounts in the prior years have been aggregated or disaggregated to conform to current year presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported earnings before income taxes and noncontrolling interests or net income, other comprehensive income (loss), current or total assets, current or total liabilities, and the cash provided (used) by operating, investing or financing activities within the condensed consolidated financial statements.
New Accounting Pronouncements	New Accounting Pronouncements Adoption of New Accounting Standards Comprehensive income — In February 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2018-02, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220). The amendments in this update allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to accumulated deficit for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("TCJA"). The Company has elected not to adopt the optional reclassification. Leases — In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This update supersedes the lease requirements in Topic 840, Leases. The objective of Topic 842 is to establish the principles that lessees and lessors shall apply to report useful information to users of financial statements about the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flow arising from a lease. For public business entities, the standard is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company adopted this update on January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective method without the recasting of comparative periods’ financial information, as permitted by the transition guidance. The Company adopted the package of practical expedients that allows companies to not reassess and will carry forward historical conclusions related to contracts that contain leases, existing lease classification, and initial direct costs. It elected the land easements practical expedient allowing the Company not to reassess whether existing or expired land easements not accounted for as leases under previous guidance are or contain leases under the new guidance. It also did not adopt the hindsight practical expedient and has also made an accounting policy election to exempt leases with an initial term of twelve months or less from balance sheet recognition. Instead, short-term leases will be expensed over the lease term. As a part of the implementation efforts, the Company reviewed its internal control structure and modified and augmented, as necessary. Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of additional lease assets and lease liabilities of $387 million and $383 million , and a reduction of favorable lease intangibles of $4 million as of January 1, 2019. The standard did not materially affect the Company's condensed consolidated financial position or results of operations and had no effect on cash flows. See Note 14, Leases . Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted Intangibles — In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract. The amendments in this update align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). The accounting for the service element of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract is not affected by the amendments in this update. The amendments in this update are effective for interim and annual periods for the Company beginning on January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this update should be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect of this new guidance on its financial statements. Retirement benefits — In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation-Retirement Benefits-Defined Benefit Plans-General (Subtopic 715-20). The amendments in this update remove disclosures that no longer are considered cost beneficial, clarify the specific requirements of disclosures, and add disclosure requirements identified as relevant. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect of this new guidance on its financial statements. Fair value measurements — In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820). The new guidance modifies disclosure requirements related to fair value measurement. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Implementation on a prospective or retrospective basis varies by specific disclosure requirement. Early adoption is permitted. The standard also allows for early adoption of any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of this ASU while delaying adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect of this new guidance on its financial statements.
