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.
