the trans is in limp in mode and the codes need to pulled and then erased
to see if they reset!
if they doreset then you have the real issue showing up
in the last 5 years of fixing cars for a living i have only replaced 2
computers that really needed them
everybody blames the computers first most times it is bad sensors and
wiring
and the days of getting puters from a salvage yards are coming to a end
unless you want to replace them all!.
do to antitheft systems and optons
the trans controller has a assigned vin from the pcm and now you have a
mismatched vin
that alone can put it into limp in mode
you could cost yourself thousands of dollars in damage take it in
