Some 2017-2018 Ford F-150/Raptor and 2018 Expedition or Mustang vehicles equipped with a 10R80 automatic transmission and built on or before Nov. 20, 2017, may exhibit an illuminated MIL with DTCs P0741 and P1744 in the PCM or TCM.

This may be due to a sticking torque converter clutch (TCC) in the main control valve body. Replace the main control valve body assembly.
