RE: &\\\\\\;rsquo\\\\\\;99 CAMRY 2.2 L4 with AUTO TRANNY - OBD CODE P0740 PROBLEM?

I always change my fluids. The tranny fluid is red and beautiful, I check it now and then and when it gets too dark (brown) it will be changed. I have no differential, as the Camry is FWD. Never had to change brake or power steering fluid in my life, but I do flush the radioator and change the coolant, once every 80K.

The trans does have a diff, check under the car for a drain plug, The PS uses trans fluid which is subject to oxidation, etc. The trans fluid if dark has obsorber water which can cause corrosion. Changing both is cheap insurance.

Today it came on again, and this time I checked it and the OBD computer says code P0740.

I know its a tranny problem, I really hope its something simple, as I have the car for only a year now, and I bought it to keep it forever, or at least until it turns 300K ... now it has only 150K, which should be nothing for a Camry ...

Anybody had similar problem?

Is it something cheap to fix, or needs the tranny replaced?

Is is a common problem for this car?

Thanks for all the help!

i suggest you to get a code reader to clear the fault codes,
maybe autosnap cr800 is your looking for.
