The code is for the battery begin disconnected which means nothing for this problem. The problem you are having has to do with the input or output shaft speed sensor.

Here are the locations so you know what you are in for when doing the job. I would run the codes as well.

Should run about $160.00 to fix.

Check out the diagrams (Below)

Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem.

Cheers, Ken
