What does code P1774 mean?

Q: What does code P1774 mean?

Hydraulic Pressure Sensor 1 Too Low. P1774 on Volkswagen vehicles indicates that the transmission control module has detected an abnormally low hydraulic pressure signal from the dual-clutch transmission's pressure sensor, which monitors the clutch and gear actuator circuits. The computer compares the sensor's voltage or pressure reading against expected values and flags the code when the signal falls below the calibrated threshold, often during a self-test or while the hydraulic pump is commanded on.
