Should I worry about code P0741 still if the check engine light hasn't came back on?

Question edited for clarity. You don't need 'So' as the beginning of a sentence, dive straight in :>D
Please always include full 'year make model' in all questions as the first 3 words.

Sometimes codes can be transient, they are just at the point of flagging the code because many codes are based on time. For example, my car threw a code for the thermostat the Lexus dealership said I needed a new thermostat fitted.. I said to my Tire Guy / mechanic who is more honest than most, I have no problems, no over heating etc. He read the code and it was something like 'the coolant temperature does not rise to 92' F within 90 seconds. I got him to change it all all was fine.

So ignore the code unless it comes back. If your mystery vehicle has a transmission dipstick, check the fluid level

One reason for requesting 'year make model' is that some faults are common to a particular vehicles, a 'known issue'. Google

year make model P0741

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.
