If the trouble code is coming up as incorrect gear ratio you may have a transmission problem. Either the torque converter solenoid or the shift solenoid is bad. Take it to a transmission shop, not a regular repair facility. Automatic transmissions take a lot of experience to work on and diagnose. They also require special tools and stadard repair shops just don't have what is needed to work on them. AAMCO charges to much. So, use the internet to find a transmission repair facility near you.
