System Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Toyota Camry. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The ECM uses signals from the throttle position sensor, air-flow meter, turbine (input) speed sensor, intermediate (counter gear) speed sensor and crankshaft position sensor to help determine the engagement timing of the lock-up clutch. The ECM monitors the engagement of the clutch using the turbine (input) speed sensor, intermediate (counter gear) speed sensor and crankshaft position sensor.

Then the ECM compares the engagement condition of the lock-up clutch with the lock-up schedule in the ECM memory to detect shift solenoid valve SL, valve body and torque converter mechanical problems.

DTC No. DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
P0741 Lock-up does not occur when requested. (2-trip detection logic):
  • Shift solenoid valve SL remains closed
  • Valve body is blocked
  • Torque converter assembly
  • Automatic transaxle (clutch, brake or gear etc.)
  • Line pressure is too low
