Hi,

When you say it went into limp, were you still able to drive it at a regulated speed or do you mean the vehicle went into neutral ("No more gears") and nothing worked?

Do you have a scan tool? In this case, the best thing to start with would be a can-scan. CAN stands for controller area network. Basically, the different computers/modules are tied together via a few wires. This will receive codes regardless of the module storing them. Here is a link that shows how it's done:

Also, have you checked the fluid level and condition?

Let me know.

Hi,

The codes you have are indicators that the PCM has stored codes. You should be able to further investigate that. Are you able to scroll through the screen and locate ECM? If so, select it and it should provide what is stored.

Also, the scan tool you used can read the CAN codes, correct?

Let me know.
