Torque converter clutch performance or stuck off

P0741
Reference meaning

What does this code mean?

The lock-up clutch does not achieve the expected operating result. The wording may mention a circuit, but the failure is not necessarily electrical: hydraulic pressure loss or mechanical damage can cause the observed performance. Honda documents a cracked lock-up piston on a specifically identified Accord application.

A code identifies a detected condition, not a part that must automatically be replaced.

A listed vehicle is a research lead. Confirm the engine, production range and software in the manufacturer's information.

Before replacing a part

Confirm transmission type and capture lock-up command, slip data and related codes using the vehicle's procedure. For the Honda example, check VIN eligibility and current coverage with Honda; the 2023 bulletin does not establish that a vehicle is still under warranty today.

Can I keep driving?

A code alone cannot establish whether driving is safe. A flashing malfunction light, severe shaking, overheating, oil-pressure warning or loss of braking or steering needs prompt attention. Stop in a safe place and seek assistance when control or engine safety is affected. Follow the vehicle handbook.
