Exclamation Transmission Problems

Yesterday in my way home at 45mph transmission went out. Messages appeared in the screen "transmission failure" and "system failure". I stoped the car and turn the engine off.. waited some seconds and started again. Everything works perfect for a few miles and then the problem came back. I did the same as before, transmission was engaged again, but this time the engine service light came on. I was able to get my home with no problem. Does somebody have any idea what the problem could be. Any advice would be apreciated.

Re: Transmission Problems

I'm thinking it's throttle body related. Try getting some throttle body cleaner and spray the throttle body blade/butterfly area. It won't hurt to do it once a year anyway. Sometimes the blade will not seat properly because of carbon build up and improper air mixture sends a bad message to the CPM and erronous check engine/transmission codes develop. If all fails take to dealer for a computer scan. It may also need a transmisson service and updates.

Wonderful
