damo66 Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 its a 5 speed auto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Low oil is one possibility, alternatively it could be the tcm, fuse, or a solenoid, I would say disconnect the battery for half hour and reconnect and see if it helps to reset it.

damo66 Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 after disconnecting the battery and leaving it a while it seems to have solved it . I don't quite understand how but for the time being it has solved my problem . many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 No worries, basically the transmission control module can get confused on signals, so resetting it allows it to forget the issues and if it happens again then it's time to narrow further Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
