PO773 is a shift solonoid code. If the tranny is shifing OK leave it alone. At 78K I suggest you servcie the transmission and add some Slick 50 additive. The solonoids are not serviced but replaced. Give the change a try.

Hi. At 58K miles i replaced the tranny fluid (with mobil-1 full synthetic). when a check engine light comes on, is there a set time for it to go off? or does it quict when it doesn't sense the problem anymore. thats why i asked if i should leave it. i love my camry, so if i notice anything different about the shifting, then i will get it replaced. i still feel fortunate, compared to all the problems that my brother has had with his chevy. thanks for your time guys!

Suggested Repair

If the transmission still shifts normally, the P0773 shift-solenoid code can be monitored. Service the transmission fluid and consider an additive; replace the solenoid if shifting problems return, since solenoids are replaced rather than serviced.

Conversation Summary

A Toyota Camry owner with 78,000 miles reported code P0773, but the check-engine light went out and the car drove normally. The expert identified it as a shift-solenoid code and said it could be left alone if shifting remained normal, while recommending a transmission service and additive. The owner had already changed the fluid at 58,000 miles and planned to replace the solenoid only if shifting changed.
