This is a circuit code. It could be the Transmission control module(TCM), the solenoid, or the wires in between. I would start by checking the wires running between the transmission control module and the transmission. Look for any obvious signs of chaffing or breakage. If the harness is ok, replace the solenoid pack in the transmission. If this still doesn't fix, replace the TCM.

Why is my check engine bringing up code po740 and won't go away and stay away

PO740 = Torque Converter Circuit Malfunction

Check all of the torque converter's electric connections--especially on that solenoid (but not just that part). It could be the transmission speed sensor. Just check from the transmission to the fuse box to make sure that the electric circuits have solid connectivity. Don't let oil short it out.
