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.

SOURCE: 2005 Toyota Corolla CE P0741 error code.

This fix comes from the service manager of a Toyota dealer, he is a online expert named Toyota Ed.

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: Code P0741 for the diagnostic for Toyota Corolla

This is a torque converter clutch solenoid code internal to the transmission. the computer has detected a fault in the operation of the solenoid. It will need to be diagnosed by a trained technician and may very likely require internal trans repairs.

Hi there. My check engine light just started coming on (of course the week I decide to sell my car) and the code that came up in the diagnostic was P0741 torque converter clutch solenoid performance. I...

code p0741 refers to the torque converter clutch(TCC) solenoid--performance or stuck off===causes --Wiring-- TCC solenoid. The engine light is telling you that the cpu has found sensors that are out side of set parameters logged in the cpu program. The problem will be in the TCC solenoid either failed or the wiring connectors are dirty or have water in the connection. The fault refers to the unit and not the internals of the gear box which would have showed up with other fault codes.

P0741 Torque Converter Clutch Circuit Performance or Stuck Off, take a cheap OBD2 code scanner to erase the code, if the light come again, you need to take it to repair.

Check the transmission cooling lines that go to the radiator. It seems like one may have come loose or split/ruptured, spraying ATF through the engine compartment, and when the fluid got low in the transmission triggered the P0741 code (torque converter clutch circuit).
