Consumer Description

WHEN I WENT TO WARM UP MY CAR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND THE TRANSMISSION DOESN'T WORK RIGHT. IT TAKES A WHILE TO ENGAGE THE GEAR AND WON'T GO PAST 30 MPH. IT SHIFTS VERY ROUGH. IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR A WHILE NOW EVERY TWO DAYS NOW. I HAVE DONE THE TCM ADAPTIVE LEARNING SERVICE IN FORSCAN AND I HAVE UPDATED THE PCM AND TCM AND ABS MODULES TO THE LATEST CALIBRATION. AFTER THE TCM ADAPTIVE LEARNING IT SHIFTS FINE BUT THE DTC'S WILL COME BACK ON IN A FEW DAYS. THE DTC'S ARE P2831, P2833, AND P287B. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO? THE BATTERY AND BATTERY CABLES ARE FINE.
