Will not go into any gear other than D1. I can manually shift up and then put into drive. Thats when O/D light stars flashing off and it drive normally.
We drained the pan and added 5 quarts of new transmission fluid. It is better but still not fixed.

Good afternoon,

This code indicates a one way clutch issue inside the transmission.

What symptoms do you have with shifting?
