One or more fault entries are stored in the transmission control module. Fault codes and symptom codes must match exactly or this TSB should not be followed.

Vehicles covered
What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
