You put into drive and hit the gas and the rpm's rev up and you go nowhere right. If so the P0730 would have to do with an incorrect gear ratio because the trans input is seeing the correct signal but because you are not moving the output is seeing the wrong anticipated signal. Worst case scenerio, you just baked the trans!

Some info on the P1298

try disconnecting the negative pole of the battery for about 10 or more seconds (better is more than 30). It will reset the ECU (computer) and if it was just a safety the codes will go.
