- Today we'll be dealing with a Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid Valve. You will see how to locate, remove and test this solenoid valve.
The torque converter on an automatic transmission transmits engine torque and power to the transmission. To prevent slippage a lockup clutch is located inside the converter. Simplistically, the clutch solenoid valve controls fluid pressure that is applied and released to the lockup clutch.
Symptoms of a bad or worn Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid Valve:
- Engine stall
- Vehicle enters fail or limp mode
- Decrease in MPG
P0741 - Torque converter clutch circuit performance or stuck off
P2769 - Torque converter clutch solenoid valve circuit short
P2770 - Torque converter clutch solenoid valve circuit open

Torque converter clutch solenoid valve trouble? Transmission torque converter clutch solenoid failure? TCC solenoid not working? Engine stalling, limp mode or decrease in MPG.
#torqueconverter
I'm pretty sure the front solenoid u took out with the brown connector is the shift solenoid and the one behind it with a black connector is the torque converter clutch solenoid
I have been trying to figure out this. I have a diagram that points this one (the one in video) as the B Shift Solenoid, but when I watch this I got confused. I also think this is shift solenoid b.
The black connector, which is the rear solenoid (farther from the front of the vehicle) is definitely the B solenoid. Just replaced one on my cousin's 2007 accord v6 due to a P0741 trouble code. Fixed it immediately. No more odd shifting behavior.
@@jakemiller4089 no, the one behind is TCC, the one he took out is SSB, he should check the one behind - TCC
I have a '06 Acura TL & the TCC is the one with the Black Connector. The Brown Connector is definitely the Shift Solenoid Valve B. Hmmmm, but awesome video. Thank you.
Bravo. Easy to understand, great editing, no background music. Thank you!
Thanks for such an excellent video that you make , it is one of the best mechanic videos I have ever seeing and very clearly explained.thank you and God bless.
Good, simple, and straight to the point!
How come no one on these videos ever tell you what vehicle they are working on?
Its ACUTA TL incase c
Somones wondering
Isn’t that the truth. I got here looking for truck trans.
Hey I forgot to plug this in after doing a cylinder head gasket.
Thanks for helping me locate the problem.
my homies PRES AND JORDAN love Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid Valve Testing & Replacement! I'll send this over to them IMMIDETLY!
What are the symptoms if that solenoid is bad?
Please tell us what the make and model of the vehicle that you are working on each time . Thanks for all of the help and tips that you always provide to us .
I have a 2012 Chevy Express passenger van it's a 5.3 1LT AWD it has 250000 mostly Highway miles. The trans works great, the engine Burns zero oil and consumes no coolant.
I'm getting the code PO700 and p0741. Shortly after these codes appeared the van began to accelerate strangely. It did this when I first accelerated and right around 45mpr. it would lose power but then gained it again, it would do this several times before going back to its normal performance. I noticed that my RPMs would go down and then quickly up and down again while it was happening. I know this is all a Telltale sign that it's the torque converter. However there is something else happening that is strange. First when this was happening I turned on my tow/ haul button and all symptoms would go away. The fault codes would go away but then always come back as my vans computer system would run its Diagnostics . For the last two weeks I've been driving my van with the tow/haul button off and the van is performing normally, however the fault codes continue to turn off and on. I have had the torque converter checked by a professional transmission shop and they found that the slippage is minor, in fact they said and I have verified that my type of clutch converter is designed to slip a little bit. They recommend a whole new transmission but I know that it could be other things like a solenoid or the computer. The van is currently running perfectly it has no symptoms.
What a delightful video - great audio, great video, great lighting, easy to understand and loaded with details.
Thank you. I appreciate the feedback!
I have a 2004 TL, and went online to Rock-auto looking for a solenoid, apparently there are two types (one with a brown connector like yours and one with a black connector). Don’t know if there is any difference other than the color of the connector housing. Thanks for the thoroughly well done video. Feedback on valve location: from the front of the car, it is just to the right of the transmission fill plug.
The black one is the clutch solenoid, the brown one is shift solenoid B
Clearly explained and not verbose thanks
Thank u. U explained everything to make my life much easier. Highly appreciated 🙏
Hey buddy what about p0748 says pressure solenoid A
Where is that sty
Muchas Gracias !! Simple, Facil y Directo. Excelente la calidad del sonido y la iluminacion de la imagen.
Do you know where torque converted solenoid for my 2006 corrolla is I Had a p0741 code
It’s under the hood
Inside the Transmission near the pan.
Me too, I’m trying to pass a smog test but does this help?
hi, I'm a bit miffed and need some help. I've seen a few diagrams that show the torque converter solenoid valve is the one (black connector) that's behind the Brown connector solenoid that you took off. Any insights appreciated.
you are right i see diagrams and the TCC is the one behind the one he took off
What is the part number for the torque converter clutch solenoid? Because I can't find it anywhere
Is this the torque control valve or is that the one behind this one?
Holy crap good camera angle
How much would they charge at the dealer to replace ?
Thank you for service to community.
Good video 👍.....but,that Lipo pack is looking a little puffed up(typical Traxxas Lipos..lol)
I have a 2000 E350 with a 5.4 motor and we can't find Torque converter clutch solenoid internal on a 5.4 maybe?
Thank you !!! I needed to see this video!
Linda what wrong with your car?
Great Video! Hopefully other youtubers will watch yours for ideas on making their repair videos.
Okay need to know about knock Sensor 2 Circuit
You are great at transferring knowledge.!👍
Can you suggest what to check next if the same code comes up again? Mine came up once before about 1 year\3,000 miles. It's not driven much and has 220k miles.
Where did you get the spec of 15-25ohms?
What were the symptoms? If bad
Thanks for the video. This helped me alot. Appreciated 💯
Toyota allion 260- recently get an issue once i start the car after 8,9 hours. (When engine is cold)
I can start the car normally without any issue and at the N,P gears when i push the accelerator RPM goes up and no any issue can identify.
But when i change the gear to D and when i push the accelerator RPM does not go more than 2000 and car can not pickup a hill. But after few min it comes back to normal and car runs perfectly. no jerks no gear engagement issues or vibrations can be identified.
To check above problem on a flat road, i stopped the car on a flat road and kept two wood pieces to wheels and redo the above steps to check what happen. same issue was there. Car can accelerate on P & N Gears, when i change the gear to D and when i push the accelerator RPM does not go more than 2000 and car can not move forwatd by climbing up the wood piece But after few min car come back to normal and can pass that wood piece.
Mileage 85000KM & 80000KM service done with toyota.
Spark Plugs not changed/Air Filter changed/CVT changed at toyota
Any suggestions?
Your Catyllytic Convertor might be diffragmented in there🤦🏽♂️. Sucker made me change a whole transmission
Having trouble locating my torque converter I have a Nissan Sentra sv 2013.
Any help?
Does it matter if I forgot to put the tiny safety clip back on the solenoid?
How did you use a ratchet socket on the selenoid when there was no bolt or nut 😮
Awesome video big dawg. Just what i need to know
Awesome diagnostic video good job.
I hope you got rid of that RC battery looks like it's ready to explode.
Is the TCC valve the same part # as shift solenoid C? I see the diagram lists both as part #11.
Have this code on a 2009 Chrysler 300c do i need to replace the solenoid the eco mode shut off is this common
Where would this valve be on a 2011 Nissan Murano 3.5 awd
Does any know the part number for the TCC on 06 Honda Accord
P2769 code came up on my subaru, i am still waiting on the clutch solenoid to reach my country, is it safe to still drive around until then?
Could this code cause the VTM-4 light to come on? Acura MDX 05
Hello, I came across your video. I have the same code p0741. TCC SOLENOID on a 2006 Scion tC. I cannot find any material or part to replace. Can you please lead me in the right direction
The Solenoid is in the Transmission. Got to drop the pan.
Great video , I really enjoyed it. Thank u

Thank you, very helpful
My 97 Jeep has an error code " P0743 Torque Converter Solenoid Circuit Electrical DTC " Had it looked at a shop but they couldn't diagnose anything.
The tcc on my 2001 Ford escape gets very hot. It's that normal?
Wait so you just cleaned the sensor didn’t replace it ?
Where can i find solenoid D for 2008 acura tl?
My toyota wish zge20 have a problem with P2763. I don't know what it's all about.. Can u give some solution.
good video:
The doubt I have is: with what name can I search for it?
Ai have engene light code po741 i think thas the problem that part what you think thanks for the video
I have the code p0741 for a 2016 Ford Explorer 2.3 where is it located?
Any chance you could post a link for the alligator clips?
Great video! I'm getting the P0741 code, but my car drives and shifts perfectly, however at times my RPM's run high (4-5K) at times, causing me to pull over and disconnect the battery. Once I reconnect the battery, everything is perfect for a day or 2, before I have to do it again. Do you think this sensor has any merit of this behavior?
I think the one I'm working on is doing the same thing...
After I clear the codes it drives and shifts perfectly but after maybe 20 minutes of driving it will get worse. Eventually it will shift 1-2 and then shift OUT of second gear. Then I have to limp it home at 25 mph or so. If you put it in park and try to go again sometimes the whole car won't move at all. But if I clear the codes it's immediately 100% fine again (for another 20 minutes).
If it really is just the lack of torque converter lockup causing the car to do this on purpose (or otherwise), what a bad design...
@@fisqual Hi I am also facing the same issue. Were you able to resolve the issue?
@@akhileshkmr421 I was! I changed the little cartridge filter and blew out the oil cooler lines (disconnect from the radiator and transmission and blow out the hard lines with compressed air) because they were clogged with bits of the filter. ...Thankfully the year I was working on (2005) had a filter, (some years do and some don't and I don't remember which) but I got the "ATP Automotive B-266 Automatic Transmission Filter Kit" from amazon, installed it and the car has been good to go ever since! I would also recommend changing that gasket which you probably will have to source from the dealer. But $10.22 is a small price to pay for an attempt to fix it!
@@akhileshkmr421 the vehicle I fixed was a 2005 Acura TL btw. I realized the video was not specific which car they were working on... GOOD LUCK!!
@@fisqual how did you know the filter was bad? You cut it open? Or was the fluid dirty? My fluid remains clean but I'm having the exact same problem as you and I've changed all of the solenoids and switches on the transmission. Still getting a p0741 code for TCC. Supposedly I don't have a filter on my car so I'm curious if blowing out the lines would still help. Otherwise I'm thinking it's the TCM(trans control module) built into the PCM/ECU?
Great video. Thank so much
Does anyone know where the torque converter clutch solenoid for a 2005 ford mustang gt
Thanks man, great educational video.
Glad you liked it!
Is the torque converter clutch pressure solenoid mounted on the engine???
I believe it should be somewhere on the transmission
the video showed him removing it from the transmission. No clue what you're talking about
Hey i have a 2010 and i cannot find it at all can y9u help
Where is the torque converter clutch solenoid in a 2008 Acura TL? I need help finding information. Anyone? I am getting the P0741 code "Torque Converter Clutch Circuit Performance/Stuck off"
What code would add how up in a cavalier 2002 ?
I got a 2007 TL and the solenoid is not where you showed. By any chance do you know where it has it? I know the 07 changed from the 04-06
YOU are supposed to look it up. Go a illustrated parts breakdown page by selecting YOUR car make nd model. And freaking look for it. If you can't find it that way, go to autozone (or other store) and have them show you while trying to buy it.
would you happen to know where the tcc is located on 2013 ford escape sel
P0741 SUZUKI
I have suzuki wagonr 660cc 2014 model fx version, Aftershock in my car and gear light shown in meter so I Changed transmission oil CVTF green2, so aftershock problem had fix but gear ights comes back again and again after clear coeds, so please help me to fix this P0741 code problem
Such a good video and very specific!
How can you locate this on a Toyota Corolla 2010
Is it located somewhere else on 07-08s or something?
Will driving with the code damage anything else?
Do you know where this is located on a Ford F-150?
What about p0740?
I have a 2006 Toyota matrix. I got a po741 code . so I changed my tcc solenoid.new. plus new oil and filter.and I clear the code after I was done. I ran the car like 20 plus miles freeway as well. Got home and no check engine light. So i put my scanner on it just to see if any thing would show up. And I got the po741 but it on pending this time. And no check engine light on dash. Why is that ??
I think you need to run the car longer,like for a few days ,then everything will clear. It has to finish a cycle before the code is deleted.
Yes you are Wright. I did that and it's bin good.
great video.. I want to replace the same on my wife's 07 Pilot.. I need to maybe replace it, Do you have a part # all I find is for Accord ..
Great video!
I have a 01 CL, same engine, I believe same transmission.
How to tell if this is Shift B or Shift C solenoid?
When I make a hard u-turn, and hit the gas, the RPM’s increase but the car doesn’t go.
I have to wait until the RPM’s go down to 700 before the car starts moving.
I have no code.
Thanks!
I got a code p0741 is that the same fix?
So my mazda cx9 has been shuddering for little over a year while in automatic mode. Does it when rpms are low and you go to step on it. It is usually in 4th gear when it shudders. We have no issue when driving it manually. No shudder ever in manual. Would you know if this solenoid valve could fix the issue or would I need the whole torque converter?
I know it has been awhile and you might have figured it out. The TCC valve is only active during AUTOMATIC when it needs to sense the build up of pressure. If you are in manual, it does not need that feature.
I see another solenoid behind that one. What is the differnce?
The harness adapters are different and one is brown while the other is black the brown one is the one that goes bad the most
2006 chevy cobalt torque converter solenoid location?
Update: removed and bench tested both clutch solenoid valve (similar to this video) and dual linear solenoid - both seem to work (clicks and within acceptable Ω resistance range)
Found no faults in the valves - P0741 wins
2003 Honda Accord V6 has 2 of these (working on P0741)
Try changing the wire harness, worked for me after changing shift solenoid B
@@jaygee4624the shift solenoid was the brown connector infront of the black one in the video right? And if yes what is the website or store u got it from ?? Please my accord shifting is ass
It works for code P0741?
What about P0744 code ?
What kind of car is this?
From what I can see in my maxima it’s inside the transmission. It would be nice if it was outside like this .
D Fields what year maxima im having the same problem on my 2014 haven’t even been 75k miles
@@capncrunch1733 guys nissan uses a cvt. do they even solenoids or just actuators to change the speed ratios?
Cap'n Crunch mine is 2001 maxima it is not a CVT. It has almost 210k miles now. I did a 3 drain and fill to flush the transmission and uses Lucus and seafoam transtune (I don’t think those will work with CVTs).
If you have a Nissan and it’s a CVT it’s a JATCO CVT transmission one of the worse transmissions in the world.
JATCO manual transmissions are solid,. The non CVT autos are ehh ok. But CVTs are crap.
What I think is up with the 01 maxima is shift solenoids and TCC. Needs to be replaced , but it could also be the TCM or transmission temperature sensor .
I did a few vid logs on it
2nd drain and fill adding Lucus czcams.com/video/aRZva2DyLuA/video.html
Adding seafoam trans tune
czcams.com/video/t0_xgIJYu2s/video.html
Post 1k miles after adding trans tune
And 3rd and final drain and fill to complete flush
czcams.com/video/eLYJ9sYB4Vw/video.html
I emphasized that fluids I used will not work for CVTs. I used Nissan matic-D compatible fluid. (Valvoline maxlife full synthetic ATF)
Yah after the flush and fluids and all it’s night and day difference. And a lot better. But CEL still comes in with p0744 after a few days of use. Also it has some problems with going into overdrive. ( doesn’t seem to work)
It use to have problems shifting from 1-2 and starting from a complete stop. But the ATF flush(3drain and fills with few thousand miles between each) and seafoam trans tune and Lucus helped a lot.
B. Weezy my 2001 maxima does NOT use a CVT. That’s why it has 210k miles on it now.
Im getting 14 on both solenoids so is it bad since yours are much higher resistance
No as long as it test between 12-28 it's good
@@joyceanderson2423 what if my yr 2000 4cyl Honda accord solenoid that looks just the one in the video tests 40, does it mean its open and no good
Where is located in 98 maxima ? ANYONE PLEASE ☝️
hope you all are fine.
i hava a code (17 torque converter clutch fnctn) of transmission of my nissan wingroad i removed but again appear. my automic transmission os not shifting properly please help me how to solve this problem
By process of elimination, either pressure is not being sensed, or there is insufficient pressure in your torque converter. there you go, diagnosed.
Too bad you pulled the wrong solenoid lol. The rear one is the tcc, you pulled a shift solenoid.
My solenoid on my 06 acura tl reads 17 ohms and it does click when I test with 12 volt battery the valve,but when it clicks I don't really notice the valve moving so not sure if it should be replaced?
And I have a p0740 check engine code
That’s what im trying to figure out. Mines click, and i cleaned it out. But I’m having the same problem
Just because the resistance is readable, he said the range should be 25 to 28 ohms. Anything outside of that may not have enough inertia to overcome the pressure of the fluid building in the transmission. Think of the car battery, it can just a hair under 12 volts, but still NOT enough to start your car.
Hello I’m live in Thailand my car Honda d17a transmission auto lock up not working I am test solenoid is good
I think the only Honda with a worse automatic transmission than an Acura TL or V6 accord is a D17 civic. Suckers are made of glass...
Did you remove the solenoid and see it move? Sometimes they are electrically fine but they get stuck and won't actually do the job.
Trying to find location of the tccs on a 2006 matrix
Did you end up finding it? I need help with my matrix as well
What part number is that
everyone keep saying to just put a new transmission
Yea I know lol
Can this sensor make the d flashing ?
No. All the sensor does is its function. If it is malfunctioning, you should get a CODE. The D flashing should be in your instruction manual. It would be helpful if you included the year and model of your car if you wanted more help.
Hey, I am wondering if you can help me out with this while I was checking my sensors a little hose got unplugged it comes from the transmission but I dont know where it goes connect it any idea is a rubber hose, too bad that can post a picture
What kind of vehicle?
@@CarsNToys it's a honda pilot 2004, does transmission has a breather hose?
I use a double a battery
Thanks ...
What is the solenoid that is behind the one you are replacing? I had a p0741 code come up and I order 2 solenoids the one you are replacing and the solenoid behind it with a brown connector
I have a problem with my honda civic 2005. When i put it on de sometimes de car don’t rum just stay like in N a press the gas pedal but it doesn’t run
Same problem ..already solve this problem?
