My car does the exact same thing. I took it to the place where the transmission was rebuilt several times because of this.

The transmission place said that they didnt know what was wrong with it, and when they ran the diagnostic, the only thing that came up was my EGR (which I still havent replaced) SO I don't know. I know that this car has 125,000 miles on it, and I am about halfway saved for my new car. I just hope it lasts until then.



The reason why they don't know is because they "did not run a diagnostic scan" of the tranny. Like I mentioned eariler in this article, they will have to hook a scanner (not just a code reader) to the OBDII port and run the car until the fault occurs. That is the only way you will ever find out what the problem is or the code anyway.

Good luck! Any other questions? Let me know.



When they hooked up mine to the machine they used a Snap On OBD II scanner, and the light wanst blinking. The guy just hooked it up and looked at the stored codes to find out what the deal was.
