The definition of the code might indicate that the shift solenoid has triggered the code, but isn&rsquo;t always the culprit. Since transmissions are located under your vehicle, inspecting it and finding the cause isn&rsquo;t easy. If you want to properly diagnose the issue, then you should consult a trusted automotive professional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following video can give you a better idea of the diagnostic process:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Chevy Duramax w\/ Allison Automatic - Shifting Trouble P0773\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/S3mE2sORykY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Fix the P0773 Code<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since there&rsquo;s no magic bullet for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/search-obd2-codes-list\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"code issues\">code issues<\/a>, fixing the problem will depend on the faulty component.

Chilton repair manuals can also be useful. However, ALLDATA subscriptions are even better, as they provide detailed factory repair information for drivers who want to do repairs themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other Notes About the P0773 Code<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from a faulty shift solenoid, this code can also be triggered by a faulty transmission fluid filter, or by the other causes listed above. Before you replace your shift solenoid, test it to make sure that it&rsquo;s the faulty part that&rsquo;s triggering the code. If you don&rsquo;t follow the correct inspection procedure, then you might replace a perfectly functioning solenoid.
