DTC P0741 - Torque Converter Clutch Does Not Lock Up - Missing Seal Ring
Remove and destroy Bulletin S307-03, dated 11/99.
Replace with this Bulletin.
Revisions are shown with asterisks.
Issue:
Some 2000 - *02* MY S-TYPE vehicles may experience a MIL illumination with diagnostic trouble code (DTC) P0741 stored in the PCM. This
condition is most likely to result from the omission of an oil seal on the transmission stator shaft during assembly of the unit. The function of the oil seal
is to complete a hydraulic circuit intended to allow transmission fluid under pressure to actuate the lock-up clutch under certain conditions. Omission of
the seal allows fluid to by-pass the intended circuit. This fluid then recirculates in the torque converter without actuating the lock-up clutch. The
condition will be confirmed by the presence of DTC P0741.
The concern may be overcome by installing a seal at the correct location.
Action:
On a 2000 - *02* MY S-TYPE vehicle, with the MIL illuminated and DTC P0741 stored, proceed as follows:
1.
Remove the automatic transmission (see Global Technical Reference GTR Workshop Manual, section: 307-01, SRO 44.20.01).
2.
Remove the torque converter.
