P2773: Four Wheel Drive (4WD) Low Switch Circuit Low

Standardized SAE J2012 code · P27xx — Transmission

What does P2773 mean?

Voltage on the 4WD-Low switch line is below the expected window. Usually a short to ground or a stuck-closed switch.

The code tells you which monitor failed, not which part is broken. Test before replacing parts.

Common causes

  • High Switch wire shorted to ground
  • Medium Switch stuck in closed position
  • Low Connector pins corroded - high contact resistance

Likelihood is a general estimate across vehicles; your make and model may differ.
