Ok! When I am accelerating on the highway sometimes(more now) in the message board I will get this message Transmission failure with a yellow light but it still works and when you shut it off and restart the car the message is gone and it may or may not reappear the same day. Our mech. Serviced the transmission and sad the fluidwas great and it does not seam to be a problem with transmission but he thinks its a board issue or the speed sensor.
What do you think?
HELP. Darla

Using WDS, check for any diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) stored. If any DTC is stored (see table below), the J-gate assembly is functioning incorrectly and needs resetting. In order to do this, follow the Workshop Procedure outlined below.
