Hmmmmm. I got a similar code on our Explorer ("The Trout Wagon").
Apparently a connector on the torque converter lock up. I was told by
one person "no problem, $2100 and away you go." He was smiling when he
said that. Apparently a new tranny is $3300.
I love LBC's!!!!! Sooooo simple.
Good luck,
Dave
