★ Top Answer
When a Chevrolet vehicle displays error code 173, it usually points to an internal problem in the communication or operation of the rear differential control module. This is crucial because the RDCM is responsible for managing and sending signals to the car's wheels. If you observe an error code without any unusual noises or smoke from the vehicle, it's likely a software or firmware glitch. You'll need to update the firmware on your car or investigate other potential causes of the malfunction. It's best to have a professional address this issue; the dealership where you bought your car or a local auto shop should be able to resolve the software problem for you.
