Causes and Fixes P0741 Code: Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid Circuit Performance/Stuck Off

How to fix P0741 Code: Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid Circuit Performance/Stuck Off
A P0741 code is set when the computer is trying to apply the Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) and it is not working.
The Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) locks the engine to the transmission, which reduces slippage and increases efficiency.
Causes include a bad torque converter, a bad solenoid, a worn TCC valve, and internal transmission failure.
Possible Causes of a P0741 Code:
Low Transmission Fluid
Bad Solenoid (TCC or Shift Solenoid)
Bad Torque Converter Clutch
Bad Transmission

Today I changed the oil on my transverse mounted for cylinder engine and accidentally drained the transmission oil I drove about 11 miles before stopping and filling it back up and fixing everything but I still have this code . Any ideas what could be causing it still

[@moreno_163]

I got that code on my ‘19 Toyota Camry at 114,000 miles 😢. My car tends to jerk when I accelerate at times and the rpm goes high when the engine is somewhat cold.

Problem on 08 Silverado. Thanks for video. Hopefully a solenoid

This was quite helpful but I still have 2 error codes on a 2014 Toyota Corolla (P0841 and P2829). Please what could be the cause of these codes. I have also attempted to change the transmission fluid sensor but issue still persists. Kindly advice in this regard. Thank you.

It's difficult to give an exact answer since it needs to be troubleshooted, but I would start by testing the solenoids and make sure they have the correct voltage.

I’m having this same issue on a ‘16 Corolla S

[@v.gior7]

I'm having the same issue on my 2018 Corolla SE! I changed the transmission fluid and filter and no luck, tonight I'm changing the solenoids. Did you ever find out what went wrong in yours?

[@adetokunboshitu7649]

Try checking the solenoids.... @@v.gior7

My 2017 Pilot has 140,000 miles, the light has come off and on twice in the last 3 months, but the car is running fine. I took it to a transmission shop and the guy wanted to change the transmission for 7 grand. Any suggestions.

[@jawadaffan745]

How do you feel when you drive the car does it jerks or hard to shift gears? If not it will be fine and when you have the check engine lightn on take it to autozone or advance auto parts shop for a free check and you will get to know the exact problem

[@crystalwillcox3566]

So can I add some safely without draining it if it’s low?

[@Kneedeepinstock]

Hi. I have a p0744 code. tcc solenoid intermittent on my 09 Nissan Rogue. Can I simply access the solenoids from the bottom of the transmission after removing the plate? If so I can check that myself. Thanks

[@rudy2ndjr]

Hi im having this code on a 2016 crv with 35k miles, a glashing d light i have. Ive replaced speed sensor, oil pressure sensor. Still have thia cose and check engine light. Transmission is shifting fine.i see a litle leak every time i park. I think i overfilled i dont have dipstick.

Thank you

Very informative, thank you!

[@661_guer05]

im having this problem with my 2004 matrix with the same code but i dont have the tool to see what solenoid is faulty so what should i do?

[@HVAC_Mechanic]

With a P0741 code It's the Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid that has failed. Sometimes, you can find the location with Google images or in forums; otherwise, you will need a manual.

[@alexespinoza8257]

I have this code and p2757 what could that be also there’s oil in the coolant and radiator does that mean I have to swap the transmission

[@josemartines2549]

No You have a broken oil líne in the radiator,

I have code P0740 In my outlander 2011 I don’t have issue with the idling or else .Just not shifting and staying in the 1st gear only.I have Drive,Reverse,neutral,Park But if i put in manual shifting plus/minus it is showing in the dashboard it is working but in the the gear it is stay in 1st gear.🤔🤔🤔Anyone encounter my problem?it is CVT type

[@travisbby]

CVT’s don’t have gears, there is only 1 gear.

[@travisbby]

The plus/minus is only to simulate gears
