[glenn_a]

hi there, is there anyone out there familiar with this obd code P0741? its saying the "torque converter clutch system stuck off"...

i dont know exactly what to do, im guessing i need to change my torque converter or is there any cheap way to fix this problem? any sensor need to be replace or ???

please help...!

symptoms: time to time the "D" flashes soon i go for a long drive, sometimes never comes on but when ever i get this "D" flashes the gear changes feels a lot longer...

Might be a solenoid

Might be a solenoid

thanks for the reply but may i ask which solenoid we talking about and where is this located at my friend?

TCC solenoid? All solenoids can be accessed easily by dropping the trans pan.

thanks illl check on that and see what happens, im pretty sure its kinda electrical thingy because the problem is on and off and if it was a mechanical it should be there always....

thanks ill see if i could just check the telminals or maybe just replace that solenoid...

got some info from the transmission shop and they think its gonna be either 'valve body' or the 'torque converter'.....

they were saying if its the solenoid it should say someting about circuit or electrical...

i need to go there and do the full test for torque converter and valve body to narrow down the problem...
