But it will give you access to check what might be screwing up.

Unplug and test is a great way to start. Search for some threads on tranny solenoid testing. I think a couple I looked at from Google suggested 13 ohms being average for a properly operating solenoid. Pressure switches are usually open or closed.

Although rare, I have seen a P0743 be caused by very dirty transmission fluid.

But most often, it is solenoid related as already mentioned.

Here is a thread you should read.
