P0773: Shift Solenoid E Electrical
What to do
Expect a fixed gear. If several solenoid codes appear at once, that pattern usually has a single cause.
What this code means
A measurable electrical fault in solenoid E's circuit — open winding, short, or out-of-range resistance. The shared-supply caution applies as it does to every solenoid electrical code in this block: multiple faults reported together point at one short pulling down a common supply rather than at multiple failed parts.

Information, not instruction
CarGeek is a reference, not a service manual. Its pages are written from public sources and from what other people have found, never from a manufacturer's own service information, so they can be wrong or incomplete for your particular vehicle. Some of what they describe carries real risk: high voltage, fuel under pressure, stored energy, hot and moving parts.
Have anything you intend to act on checked by a trained person against the manufacturer's own procedure for your vehicle. Nothing here replaces that procedure.

What makes one worth reading:
- The car — make, model, year and engine. The same fault behaves differently on each.
- What you measured, not only what you replaced.
- What actually fixed it — or that nothing did, which is worth knowing too.
