Default trannmission....lamda light, and flashing up arrow

I have a 1998 S70 base model. Lambda light is on (solid) and up arrow is flashing. Dealership tells me DTC At-3 41 lock up (lock up function slipping and not enguaging). They reccomended starting off with a tranny fluid change; if lambda/up arrow still persists, replace valve body (~$850)...if problem still persists, replace transmission (~#3700).

Is this the same as a P0741 code (Torque converter clutch stuck off)? Could anyone help with recommendations????? Thanks very much in advance....just joined today, this forum is a wealth of info!

The transmisson fluid has been changed; but the same indicator lights came on yesterday (on the highway, so I'm assuming its the TCC stuck off). Any other thoughts? Thanks

Good luck with level10 alot of people have had problems with them.

To the OP not sure maybe it is the valve body.
