Toyota Camry: Shift solenoid code #0773

I suspect it allows the vehicle from shifting from 3rd to 4th (overdrive)
gear. On my 2002 Camry, the shift solonoid was replaced to the tune of $1000
(under warranty thankfully).

Car Guy, what were the symptoms that the defective solenoid caused? Did the
dealer replace anything else?

help, 

I was driving my car and I felt a shudder from third to 4th gear and the
check engine light came on and I was not able to shift into 4th (overdrive).

They replaced the shift solonoid, the gasket, changed the transmission
fluid, and other associated parts. I had about 7,000 km (4,400 miles) when
this happened.

P0773 is more specifically an electrical fault with your lock-up
solenoid. What you were feeling is 4th gear with the lock up
converter disabled. This causes higher RPMS and the sensation that
you are in 3rd gear. I've seen that solenoid fail a few times in that
year range on the v6 trans (A541E). Its an easy fix and won't cause
any long term repercussions with the rest of the transaxle.

Thanks for your reply. I have not noticed any change in performance at all.
RPM's seem ok, the tach says it is shifting ok into 4th. What can I expect
to pay to replace this part? Could it be the wiring to the solenoid that
fails? Why is there no change in performance? Where is this part located?

Try resetting the computer by disconnecting the negative lead of the battery for about 15 minutes, if the code return then have the solenoid connection checked or replace the solenoid.

I allready erased the codes once with the obd2 reader. The codes came back.
The car is working perfectly though.

SENATOR ZELL MILLER DEMOCRAT OF GEORGIA, the nation's most prominent
conservative Democrat, said today he will endorse President Bush for
re-election in 2004 and campaign for him if Bush wishes him to. Miller
said Bush is "the right man at the right time" to govern the country.

The next five years "will determine the kind of world my children and
grandchildren will live in," Miller said in an interview. And he
wouldn't "trust" any of the nine Democratic presidential candidates with
governing during "that crucial period," he said. "This Democrat will
vote for President Bush in 2004."
