Understanding the D273 Error Code

The D273 error code typically indicates an issue with a vehicle's status in the registration system, particularly concerning its current registration or non-operation status. This guide will help you understand and resolve this error effectively.

• The Certificate of Non-Operation (CNO) settings are incorrect.
• A duplicate title transaction cannot be processed due to non-operational status.
