You need to have the codes read
auto zone will do it for free
as that will help pin point the troubled area
when computer encounter a trouble in one of the sensors
will turn check engine light on
and since its a tranny issue it puts the tranny in a limb mode
to protected from damage and allow you to drive it to a repair shop

Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the TP sensor and at the ECM/PCM



TP sensor is over $ 200
