Default P0973 code 2005 a4

Check engine light came on in my 2005 A4. Tran seems to be stuck in two gears, Reading a PO973 code. Any suggestions what this might be and solutions.

P0973 --- 1-2 Shift Solenoid (SS) Control Circuit Low Voltage TCM -
DTC P0973 in Automatic Transmission - 4L60-E/4L65-E
I don't recall seeing that one before. I looked around here and found nothing. Looked on the net and found nothing related to Corvettes but a lot of Diesel trucks and Hondas.

Looks like a dealer visit is in order for proper diagnostics. Did find one case that turned out to be a simple neutral safety switch, but that is highly unlikely in your case.

Best of luck and please let us know what happens. )

This information is from the DTC codes for the LS2.

Good luck and keep us posted.
