The transmission oil pan must be removed and the TC solenoid tested, if it works you will need to remove the transmission replace the Torque Converter.

SOURCE: These codes comes out P0741

Your torque converter is not locking up.
The solution is to have the torque converter replaced and the transmission serviced.
Hopefully, you are still under warranty and can get it repaired it for free.
If not, it can get pretty expensive.

SOURCE: p0741 Torque Converter Clutch Circuit Preformance or Stuck Off

Toyota is aware of this situation. Production changes have ocurred to correct this condition.

Here is what you do: Take your vehicle to your Toyota dealer. Tell them that you have a P-0741 code, and you want them to apply "Toyota Technical Service bulletin TC008-04" to your vehicle. They will perform several tests, and if you vehicle is lower than 5 years old, and less than 60, 000 miles, they will fix it for free. This TSB is covered by the Powertrain Warranty. Additionally, Thay may replace the ECU with an updated unit, and that particular warranty is in effect for 96 months or 80,000 miles.

This will definatly cure your issue.

SOURCE: P0741 Torque Converter Clutch Circuit Performance

it's either the tcc solenoid inside the valve body not engaging or the converter itself is on it's way out probably due to bad seal.. change that also if you go the converter route..check also the ground to the solenoid and make sure it's getting enough voltage. make sure the fluid is up to date and flushed before all of the above. and remember after solenoid install car wont drive right for a few miles until computer picks up new solenoid or get new transmission installed

I have scanned my car which is the kia picanto2005

Code P0741 is a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) that indicates a problem with the torque converter clutch (TCC) circuit in a vehicle's automatic transmission system. The TCC is a hydraulic clutch that allows the engine to continue running while the vehicle is stopped, and it also helps to improve fuel efficiency when driving at highway speeds.
There are several potential causes for a P0741 code, including:
  • Failed torque converter clutch solenoid
  • Wiring issues, such as damaged or corroded wires
  • Failed torque converter clutch
  • Failed transmission control module (TCM)
To fix a P0741 code, it will be necessary to diagnose the specific cause of the problem and then perform the appropriate repair. This will typically require the expertise of a trained mechanic, as working on a vehicle's transmission system can be complex and requires specialized tools and knowledge.
If you are experiencing a P0741 code on your vehicle and are unsure how to proceed, it is recommended to take your vehicle to a mechanic or dealership for diagnosis and repair. They will be able to identify the specific cause of the problem and provide the necessary repairs to fix the issue.

My Ford Focus 2006 4 cyc has an engine code PO741 on my OB2. What does that mean?

P0741 Torque convertor clutch circuit failure,it is located in the transmission valvle body, it is attatch to the valve body you can remove it seperately as long as your going to own the Ford focus you might as well get use to replacing these all the time,very common transmission issue with todays car. By the way it is sensitive to worn transmission fluid,when you dont service often these are suspectable to failure.

The check engine light came on the the code is p0741, I can't seem to find out the problem. Can you help me?

This is a torque converter circuit performance code not a short or open circuit code.Let me explain what the difference is.The computer commands the clutch inside your torque coverter to apply.Then the system will look for an rpm drop within a specific time.If there is no rpm drop or too slow of a drop or not enough drop , then this code will set.I have seen many things cause this and is rarely the solenoid.Wear in the transmission, valve body and or torque converter is most common problem.Non factory tire size is not unusual.If you can be more specific about year make and model i cam probaly point you in the right direction.Thanks please vote.
