P0773 Shift Solenoid E Electrical

P0773 points to an electrical fault in shift solenoid E. The controller sees an abnormal electrical response in the solenoid E circuit.

Code details

Generic OBD-II · P0

System: Transmission
Code type: Generic (SAE / ISO controlled)
Standard: SAE J2012 / ISO 15031-6

Diagnostic boundary

A diagnostic trouble code reports that a monitored test failed. It does not prove one specific part is bad, and manufacturer logic can add vehicle-specific conditions.

Do not diagnose hydraulic failure first when the code names an electrical solenoid circuit.

Symptoms of P0773

Harsh, delayed, or slipping shifts, or being stuck in one gear.
Check-engine light, sometimes with limp-home mode.
Flaring RPM or a shudder under load.

Common causes of P0773

Low or degraded transmission fluid.
A failing speed sensor, shift solenoid, or pressure-control circuit.
Wiring, connector, or internal hydraulic/mechanical faults.

Useful checks before replacing parts

Check solenoid E power, control circuit, internal harness, case connector, terminal fit, and fluid intrusion.
Use service-information current or resistance tests to separate solenoid, wiring, and controller faults.
Inspect shared feeds and grounds when multiple solenoid electrical codes are stored together.
