P1773 variator error on Mitsubishi Outlander

Error P1773 on a Mitsubishi Outlander is a reason to stop operating and contact a service center for diagnostics. Otherwise, you may endanger yourself and other road users. But first you need to find out what this error indicates and whether you can fix it yourself.

What can code P1773 mean?

In practice, error P1773 on Mitsubishi Outlander vehicles indicates a malfunction of 2 components:

• anti-lock braking system (ABS) sensor;
• electronic control unit CVT-ECU.

In most cases, the Mitsubishi code P1773 is displayed on the dashboard due to a malfunction of one or more ABS sensors at the same time.

The exact cause of the problem can only be established within the framework of professional diagnostics at the service. Contact TsVT No. 1: Moscow 8 [phone], St. Petersburg 8 [phone]. We accept calls from all regions.

How serious is P1773

By itself, error P1773 on Mitsubishi is not dangerous. It only indicates a malfunction of the variator or ABS sensors. If the code appears not because of a system failure, as it sometimes happens, but because of a real failure, then this is an occasion to think about your own safety.

Driving a car with a faulty anti-lock braking system is dangerous and not as comfortable. Failure of the CVT ECU at full speed can lead to an accident.

Symptoms of an error on a Mitsubishi

First of all, error P1773 is manifested by the corresponding code in the error log. Other signs of a problem include:

• turn on the "Check Engine" indicator on the dashboard;
• indicators "ABS OFF", "ASC OFF" light up;
• flashing indicators "4WD" and "4WD Lock";
• a notification that the disk is overheating is displayed.

In some cases, the set of intermittent and continuous recording notifications listed above disappear on their own after a few tens of kilometers, but then may appear again.

Possible Causes of P1773

Error code P1773 on Mitsubishi Outlander XL models occurs for several reasons:

• malfunction of the clutch pressure control solenoid valve;
• breakage / jamming of the front wheel bearings;
• failure of the sensor that monitors the position of the steering wheel;
• solenoid valve harness stuck in open or closed position;
• loss of electrical contact in the circuit responsible for the operation of the specified valve;
• clogging / sticking of the movable part of the valve during vehicle operation;
• flooding or mechanical damage to the anti-lock brake system sensor.

The listed malfunctions can be caused by liquid ingress into electrical components, oxidation and corrosion of contacts. The impact of the accident also often causes loss of contact or damage to the pressure control solenoid valve.

Is it possible to fix a mistake on a Mitsubishi yourself

It is not recommended to try to self-diagnose and subsequently repair the car to eliminate the causes of the p1337 code and check the engine on the dashboard. This work requires experience, good knowledge of the device of the machine and the variator, tools.

Service troubleshooting

Mitsubishi Outlander diagnostics for error P1773 is made through the ODB2 diagnostic connector using an official scanner and special software.

Additionally, a visual inspection of the wiring is carried out, through which the ABS sensor is connected to the electronic control unit. The clutch pressure control solenoid valve is checked for blockage and physical damage.

The main mistake when diagnosing a Mitsubishi car with error P1773 is to check only the software part through the OBD2 connector. The code can be caused not only by a malfunction of the on-board computer, but also by a mechanical malfunction, so a visual inspection cannot be ignored.

In order for all the nuances of the problem to be taken into account at the verification stage, entrust car diagnostics to a company specializing in the repair of variators. A good option is CVT Repair Center No. 1. It helps to identify and eliminate any. You can contact them by phone: Moscow - 8 [phone], St. Petersburg - 8 [phone].

How to repair error P1773 on Mitsubishi Outlander

The repair process for a Mitsubishi Outlander 1200, XL or other model depends on the cause of the P1773 code. Usually you need:

• replacement of the anti-lock braking system (ABS) sensor;
• replacement of the electronic control unit CVT-ECU;
• installation of new front wheel bearings;
• steering wheel position sensor replacement;
• local repair of damaged cables.

As new components, original or similar parts can be used, including those from other car models, for example, from Nissan Qashqai. The cost of the original sensor is on average 1500-2500 rubles.

What to do if the error repeats again after repair

If the error reappears after servicing at a service center and deleting the diagnostic code from the memory of the vehicle's on-board computer, replace the faulty CVT-ECU electronic control unit with a new original part. But not on your own, but entrust this matter to the master.
