What does TCC stuck off mean?
The words “Stuck Off” in a definition of this code refers to the fact that the torque converter clutch control solenoid is stuck in the “OFF” position, and can therefore not engage the torque converter clutch or lock-up mechanism.
How to tell if a torque converter clutch solenoid is working?
If you have a stored trouble code P0741 for your TCC solenoid or the torque converter clutch solenoid I will show you how to activate the solenoid and tell if the transmission solenoid is working. If you don’t have a scan tool you can find one here: https://amzn.to/2r0RbKD
What happens when a torque converter goes bad?
A transmission that slips while in lockup because the system is overloaded will generate tremendous heat. These situations normally end with complete transmission failure. A faulty torque converter clutch solenoid normally sets a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC), which causes the Check Engine Light to come on.
Is the torque converter lock up solenoid on a 2007 corolla?
The corolla is a 2007 (12/06) w 90k on it. I checked the code – (p0741) was present. I drove car on a highway road test (9.4 miles) to check TCC lock up solenoid operation. All worked perfectly. Checked vin if ECU was a recall candidate; No, it’s not. Checked fluid; on a white rag it left grayish color.
What happens when a transmission solenoid goes bad?
A failed transmission solenoid will normally set a diagnostic trouble code (DTC), which will cause the check engine light to illuminate. In these instances, an OBD-II scan of your vehicle’s computer will provide information pointing to the faulty solenoid.

When to use the p0741 clutch solenoid code?
Applying the TCC improves fuel economy, reduces engine speed, and lowers the temperature of the transmission fluid. The control module may store a P0741 code when it detects the TCC is slipping, operating erratically, or not engaging.

What happens when the torque converter does not disengage?
If you think of it in a non-technical way, the torque converter clutch does the same thing inside an automatic transmission that your standard clutch does on a manual transmission. If the TCC fails to disengage when the vehicle comes to a stop, the engine will stall .
