Yep, this sometimes happens when the battery is jumped, the TIPM is weak in these cars and it sounds like it is out but to be sure we may do a CAN scan, you can get a CAN scanner (Controller Area Network) from Amazon.

Here is a video to show you how:

Here is how to change the TIPM in case you need it which is easy to do because it-self learns. Check out the images (below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem so we can see what's going on.
