What are the symptoms of the Shift Solenoid code p0773?

What are the symptoms of the Shift Solenoid code p0773?

What are the symptoms of the P0773 code? Common symptoms include an illuminated Check Engine or Service Engine Soon light, slippage while shifting gears, transmission overheating, harsh shifting, and compromised fuel economy. The vehicle may go into limp mode, and other shift solenoid codes may set.

What does the p0773 code mean on a Toyota?

The P0773 code is detected when the gear required by the ECM does not match the actual gear when vehicle is driven. Transmission will not shift gears.

What are the trouble codes for an e solenoid?

The trouble codes related to this, the “E” solenoid, are codes P0770, P0771, P0772, P0773 and P0774 based on the specific malfunction that alerts the PCM to set the code and illuminate the Check Engine Light. If you have an Overdrive or other transmission warning lamp, it may be illuminated also.

What causes shift solenoid valve E to turn off?

The transmission control module (TCM) turns shift solenoid valve E on or off depending upon the operating conditions of the vehicle. If there is a malfunction somewhere in the wiring or solenoid itself, it will cause abnormality in the gear ratio, causing P0773 to set.

Why does the Shift Solenoid not shift gears?

Transmission will not shift gears. Shift solenoid valve ‘E’ is turned ON or OFF by the Transmission Control Module (TCM) in response to signals sent from the park/neutral position (PNP) switch, vehicle speed and Engine Control Module ( ECM) (throttle opening). Gears will then be shifted to the optimum position.
