I had to shut off the car and restart it and all the lights went away and I was able to park. That night I left nothing happened and I got home fine. A few days later it did it again so I took in to Autozone to have them check the codes. They were, transaxle control fault, Secondary Air Injection Fault, and the last one was something about a generator light was left on for more than 30 seconds after the car was running.
So I took it to where I bought it and the mechanic said that it’s all leading to the EMC. Has anyone had this issue yet? If so, what did you do and how much was it?
Thanks!
Ok, .................... 3 weeks ago I or my daughter had a simular problem. The car had no transmission. It was either in neutral or park. I was told that it may be that the transmission fluid was low..... NOPE that cost me $300. I was also told that it may be the TCM (transmission Control Modular) Nope...... That cost me another $100 to have it removed and inspected. The next possible cause is an electrical static plate that is in the transmission. (not sure exactly what it is called) I had that changed along with the trans fluid again10 days ago. So far that appears to have solved the problem. That cost me aother $500.
In the meantime I had the car inspected and added the 5 year or 70 k mile maxcare warranty that cost $3k. Now if the probem reappears she will get a new transmission.
Correction: Ok, I just called the mechanic and he said it is called a "COMMUNICATIONS PLATE".
