Re: 2004 vibe P0741

Wow what an adventure. Car is finally fixed. Computer was bad then they put a third set of solenoids in. This time went to gm to get them. Glad that it's over. It's been over two months chasing this around.

Re: 2004 vibe P0741

I actually like the car so I hate to sell it. Light came on again this morning. I will take it back once again!

Re: 2004 vibe P0741

So we finally figured out my problem with my car. Turns out my computer was bad. May have fried when the engine seized. I think I still need to take it back because it doesn't want to downshift right all the time. We will see what they say about that.

MU4 vs MU5 trans

Is there a difference between the mu4 and mu5 transmissions? I put a trans put of a matrix on my vibe and wondering if I need the matrix computer to make it run right. Dealers are saying you can't flash my original computer.

Re: 2004 vibe P0741

So salsa guy. What does the cv joints have to do with it? Been at aamco for a week now and all they have figured out is they are compatible.

Also one other question. Would a abs speed sensor be a possible issue?

Also read that the engine coolant temperature sensor could cause it.

Re: 2004 vibe P0741

Lesson learned on aamco. I might try a speed sensor. The one that is being used is the one out of the vibe trans. Maybe the teeth are wrong for the matrix trans.

Re: 2004 vibe P0741

Ok another update and question. Took it to the Toyota dealer. They say the computer isn't talking to the trans. Is the wiring different in a matrix than what the vibe is? It all fits the same. They say it can take up to 5 hours to find out if the wiring is different. May if I put a computer from a m...

Re: 2004 vibe P0741

Ok took the car to aamco. They said my torque converter was bad. So the took it out and opened up the transmission and said it was toast. So 2500 later and a fresh rebuild I got the car back and the code popped again. Took it in and they can't seem to figure it out. The trans came out of a 04 matrix...

Re: 2004 vibe P0741

Fluid is good. That's the first thing I checked. I don't know if this makes a difference but the trans came out of a matrix.

2004 vibe P0741

After getting it all changed there is a p0741 code. At 65mph it is running 2800 rpms roughly. What rpm should it be running at thi...
