po743
 
Help? This is crazy the ck engine light came on and I got the code po743. I put some Lucas in and my tranny started to shift into od but not all the time just wondering if I should try changing the tranny fluid and filter hoping it will free something up

No.

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

Sheehan1973 Jan 29, 2012 01:25 PM

Ok thanks any idea what to look for

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.
