Code P0743 indicates fault with the Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid Circuit

This means there is a short or other damage in the torque converter clutch solenoid wiring harness. You need to have the wiring of the TCC solenoid circuit inspected by a reputable auto shop that specializes in auto electrical work .
