Question
hi, my car is a 1995 toyota avalon. my problem is the cel came out and the code is p0773 shift solenoid shift E circuit electrical.it has 115,000 miles.  the code came and disappeared and came back like a month ago. went to advance autoparts and had it reset and it has not come back. do you think i made a mistake of just resetting it w/out fixing it? the transmission shifts fine. the trans fluid is still color red. my rpm is @ 2500 running @ 70 miles per hr. is that normal or its high and my transmission is affected by this code? thank you and god bless!

Answer
The rpm figure seems normal at hat speed so it is going into overdrive, the 773 code can be caused by a small paricle that gets stuck in the shift solenoid, I would recommend having the transmission fluid flushed completely with a flush machine and then go from there.
