My 2007 Hyundai Elantra engine light came on.. diagnostic said I need to replace my Torque converter clutch solenoid circuit electrical... thanks for your help
First I recomend you perform a transmission fluid flush before check any sensor. Most of the times is the filter dirty. It happened to my Chevy truck. It was just the filter plugged. That is why was the code p0741 and the truck at 45 to 55 was loosing and gaining power...
I recently got a transmission fluid change done by the dealership on my 06 Acura TL and never had any issues beforehand. Only a few weeks later did the check engine light come on and is now throwing that code. They’re suggesting I replace the transmission but that doesn’t seem right. Do you think there might be some correlation? I’m under the assumption they never did the flush properly or did not inform me on the next steps. Should I get another flush done?
Appreciate your video. Thank you. I realize this is along shot. Hoping you might help us please. Do you have any idea why our 1990 Honda Accord Auto Transmission does not shift into reverse sometimes and makes the funny clicking sound? Other times we start it and it shifts into reverse perfectly. We've flushed the AT and put the Honda fluid, checked the lock up and shift solenoids and cleaned the small screens. Does the Honda Lock up solenoid lock up the torque convertor clutch to make it go into reverse? Here is a video of the sound.. Thank you very much. @H9y4
Hello, I have a question. I have a 2009 Scion Tc with 300k miles. The last time I changed the transmission oil was at 180k if I remember. However, I just recently got the code P0741. And I wanted to ask if I change the transmission oil would it slip.
I have a 1993 Pontiac Grand Prix with a 4T60E and I am having what feels to be an TCC issue. My questions is how can I disconnect the TCC so I can drive the car? I tried disconnecting B7 the TCC solenoid control wire from the ECM, and the brake switch wire going to pin A of the trasmission connector. By doing so seemed to create other symptoms Please help. Thanks
My 06 acura tl has that code i'm change the torque converter solenoid tmrw.If that doesn't fix it then it's the torque converter itself ?or transmission..
I had my 2012 kia sportage I change the transmission 3 times and still same problem Check engine light on Transmission Difficult to go from down gear to top gear and I scanned my car I got same code So what I should do ?
I bought a 04 matrix last year had check engine light, just got a diagnosis thing to check it , this is one of the codes , I put 50 k miles on it so far no problem , I’m at 256 k miles is it worth fixing or just keep trucking
Thank you so much for the information, I have a 2009 Hyundai Sonata with the same issue, does that apply to my car as well and if so what needs to be done
My Toyota Corolla 2005 usually display the P0741 code whenever I scan it and I have already changed my Torque Converter and yet it keep showing, please what could be the pending issue? I am frustrated already
Saludos, tengo el mismo problema en un elantra año 98 me aparece el código cada vez que desconecto la batería, creo que es un convertidor reparado que le instalé. Conseguiste la solución a tu problema? No era el sensor tcc?
Where can I buy the clutch? I have a P0740, I put new tcc, pwm, 3-2 downshift solenoids, ignition switch and MIL light comes on when am coming to a stop only when going 45mph or above
Actually 741 is the PCM measuring "SLIPPAGE" beyond the programmed limits. Which is usually a SEAL problem. While the accompanying code 1860, will be the "SOLENOID". But often is an "Intermittent" solenoid problem, which only gives the 741 code. Since as said,.. Is a measure of the given slippage. (approx 4%+) NIETHER OF WHICH,.. Is a Torque Converter issue. Though is part of the Direct Lockup drive system. At or above 41mph per programming specifications. Least that's what I know from my Caddy experiences. Currently a 2002 STS which I fixed with Lucas Trans Fix : ) 2700 miles without this (intermittent the last 2 yrs) code popping up. (just an experiment, after dropping a half dozen engines and transaxles) I'm sure it will be back... And a trouble code that is Far To Common. Though everything is common for Caddies 😂 😢 Best I can tell ya 🤞 EXCEPT. I would check your Grounds. And add an EXTRA Decent Gauge Ground from your Engine, to a good spot on your chassis. Preferably a spot you make yourself. Clean and well sealed. I have found TONS of issues solved by this simple addition. As these Cads seem to have Shitty Continuity and corrosion problems you will never find. But this works Great. As most sensors obviously are on your engine,.. Etc. Jus FYI ☺
Hello. I have a 2005 Minicooper R53, automatic transmission. When I turn on the air conditioning, the automatic transmission goes crazy and then turns off the engine (in motion). I turn off the engine, wait a while and continue normally with the air conditioning off. Have you ever heard of a similar case? Any idea what it could be? Note: with the air conditioning off, the automatic transmission works normally. Thanks.
It sounds like an electrical problem in the vehicle. With the ac on you may be intervening with the electrical system for the trans. Possible to much draw on electrical system with ac on. Make sure you have a good battery with good connections. Check all grounds. Have a code scan done. Pay attention to any unusual noises especially when the problem happens. Check Mini Cooper forums.
I have an 07 Suburban with a 4l60e. Getting p0741. Cluster panel had a warning that said transmission fluid hot idle engine. Trans temp was at 255. Was also getting slipping at times when accelerating. Fluid looks and smells normal. Is it possible fluid and filter change could fix this or does this sound like rebuild/replacement?
I have this same issue with one of my cars but it only goes in reverse any other gear it will make this rattling sound. I hope I won’t have to replace the whole transmission
Hey john. I have a 2002 s10. ..In a 1 miles radius left driveway and come back .. Leaving my driveway when i took off it slip some and some clanking ..then few minutes later it would stall at a stop and also after restart pull in gear would slam and stall engine .. After few slams and stall starts seem to went back to normal pulling. Not drove yet tho .. Any suggestions ???
Sounds like torque convertor clutch sticking on. If it is slipping and clanking has well you most likely have internal transmission and/or torque convertor clutch failure
Good info, I having the same code p0741 on my 04 4Runner it dies when I tried putting in gears. It idles fine in park and neutral and it die only when I tried putting in gears. It make a clacking sound when I turn off the engine. Does that mean my transmission is broken?
Hello John.. I have Ford Explorer 2010 4x4 with P0741 code since 2018 and I drove 100k miles. The A/T is still shifting fine. But (one time out of ten times) when I park the car uphill even for one hour then I start it again and put it in D, the car doesn’t move. It is like in N. It takes 5 to 10 seconds to start moving very slowly then runs fine. Can you help me? thanks!
Sounds like possible trans overhaul or replacement. Maybe try a fluid and filter change, you may get a little more life out it. We recommend dex vi fluid when doing the fluid and filter change.
@@johnandeddie Thanks for your reply During the mileage of 100k with wrench on, I have changed oil and filter twice and the wrench still on. The next few days I will change for the 3rd time.. so I am looking for solution. Thank you again
Can code p0741 can be solve with change transmision fluid for several times? After i done already change new filter olso check wiring and solonoid valve seems look ok.
Hi.i just bought a 2002 Seville that has a torque converter code..car runs n drives but lacks in power ..n tacks up then changes gears? Worth fix? Has 114k.rough cost? Thanks.Pietro
What would cause a P0741 code on a 2007 Toyota Corolla? Because my car is running fine ... I have been driving it rough revving at high speeds pushing it before the code came on.
I have a 2006 Toyota Corolla and I had the same problem P0741. The local mechanic wanted $2500 to fix it. Way too much money. I look online and I got directed to a RU-vid video . There’s a video of a nice Asian guy who has the same code and the same car. He shows how to disconnect the wires to the transmission. He has step by step instructions on how to clean the connections with electronic spray cleaner. I went to Home Depot and bought some WD40 Electrical cleaner spray. I watched the video again to make sure on the process. I cleaned the connections and it worked. My check engine light is not on anymore. I saved the money the mechanic wanted to fix it. It’s not hard to do at all. I have had the light on for over a year. I have been driving the car all week and still no check engine light. I hope this helps.
I've had this code come on my car (2006 Kia Sportage) two days ago, but the transmission shop says that all the mechanical components, solenoids, valve body, etc. are fine. They cleared the code and now they're not able to replicate the issue. Any ideas? You think it's a bad TCM or a wiring issue?
Took my 2002 Oldsmobile Alero to the dealership with the same code and it would start slipping when it was shifting into 3rd gear. They said the only option was to replace the transmission ($1800). I left as the car is 17 years old and not worth $1800. Is replacing the transmission the only option to fix this issue?
$1800 is before $1000labor. I replaced mine and already having problems code: P0741 torque converter stuck after 500 miles: and again today after 1500 since swapping in a Reman 4t65E. Also, it lost 3 quarts of ATF somehow!?
I'm told if the p0741 code is the sensor. Which is about 40 $ it's the labor that's costly. Because of what needs to be done. To get to it. I have that code on my 2002 caddie deville. V8. Apparently this is a common problem with these cars.
@Transmissions America (John and Evan) I drive 250 miles weekly and use cruise control and the pedal interchangeably. I'll have it checked. How much is the cost/labor if it's tha t? Thanks alot! It's not the tcc solenoid?
hi could you leave me your email address I would have a problem with bmw 120d with error p0741 where it says converter exclusion clutch incorrectly disengaged. this problem is similar to yours but I find it only when I am at a constant speed ... I hear a noise like stac and then if I leave the accelerator the revs go down if I try to accelerate it becomes the same as the old American gearboxes .. could it be the converter? ?
We see a lot of torque convertor failure on this make and model. Could also be solenoids and/or valve body concern. Most common is torque convertor. Hope this helps.
@@johnandeddie I just bought this car a week ago for 3k the guy seemed skeptical about the transmission he has a shop should I take it to him and have him fix it for free or is that not possible at all is it (my problem now) what do you recommend me do I have pending Code p0741 torque converter clutch circuit performance/ stuck off should I start off with cleaning all the solenoids and testing them or is it something else since the problem started after running over a puddle of water 3rd and 4th gear slips please anything helps
@@musty.diesel It never hurts to ask. You can start with cleaning and clicking solenoids along with a drain and fill. It sounds more like a trans overhaul or replacement.
@@johnandeddie I cleaned the tcc solenoid the one w 6 bolts and the lock up solenoid I believe the one w 4 bolts is the a and c the one on top by the air filter hose?? It has 2 connectors and 2 bolts looks hard to get out couldn’t get my wrench in there properly, anyway the only pending code I had was p0741 it disappeared after removing the battery did solenoids and still no codes, I cleaned those two solenoids and the shifts is way harsher and the rpm’s still jump the at stopping it just jerks, my plan now is to do the tranny fluid change and add lucas, the problem started when I went over a puddle of water could it be a connector that is bad? Any recommendations will help I hope my tranny isn’t gone smh
Actually 741 is the PCM measuring "SLIPPAGE" beyond the programmed limits. Which is usually a SEAL problem. While the accompanying code 1860, will be the "SOLENOID". But often is an "Intermittent" solenoid problem, which only gives the 741 code. Since as said,.. Is a measure of the given slippage. (approx 4%+) NIETHER OF WHICH,.. Is a Torque Converter issue.

(just an experiment, after dropping a half dozen engines and transaxles) I'm sure it will be back... And a trouble code that is Far To Common. Though everything is common for Caddies 😂 😢 Best I can tell ya 🤞
@@alexcastillo1997 This isn't a PERFECT INDICATOR. But if around 41mph at regular acceleration,.. It should feel like it Hits another gear. Which is the TCC Solenoid locking in. Remember. This IS a 4speed trans with OD. The reason why these cars can go upwards of 160 😂 And unless you are in a state as mine, (Washington),.. Which requires Emissions testing. Or this is Really Effecting DRIVABILITY. It's really nothing to worry about. GOOD LUCK 👍
Whoa Johnny, you're speaking quantum physics in Swahili! I got a kia, I'm not proud, sedona. Po741 It gets crap mpg for what the car is rated (18/24 = 11/15) even though I'm seeing 5th gear ⚙️ and doing 60-65mph cruise control set. Not worth "fixing" Can I add some crap to the transmission to help it out? Transmission honey? Aside from that, I'm shopping out a replacement vehicle.
What car do you have? You can learn a lot by searching for the common problems of the car. I am having a p0741 code in my gf honda civic 2007 and I found that it's likely the tcc solenoid that applies the clutch pressure. I havent changed it yet but I'm expecting that to fix it
@@thenman23 no. I think what happened was it was overfilled with oil when I bought it. After I changed the oil to the right level it hasent thrown that code. It might still be the torque converter solenoid going bad but it's only a 2600 dollar car so as long as it drives into to worried about it.
