The P0773 code in your 2021 Nissan Rogue indicates an electrical fault in the shift solenoid E circuit within the Xtronic CVT. This code specifically identifies wiring or driver circuit problems rather than mechanical solenoid failure.
Rogue CVT Electrical System
Nissan's CVT uses multiple solenoids for hydraulic control functions. While labeled as 'shift solenoid E,' this component in the CVT controls specific pressure or ratio functions. P0773 indicates an electrical fault in this circuit.
Common Electrical Fault Sources
- Open circuit in solenoid E wiring
- Short to ground in circuit
- Short to battery voltage
- Connector pin corrosion
- TCM output driver failure
- Internal transmission harness damage
Symptoms of P0773
- Check engine light on
- CVT warning light
- Abnormal CVT behavior
- Hesitation or surge
- Possible limp mode
- Reduced performance
Nissan CVT Diagnostic Requirements
Full CVT diagnosis requires Nissan Consult diagnostic equipment. While generic scanners read P0773, detailed circuit testing and solenoid control requires factory-level tools.
