Sounds like your trans id dead. Time to bring it to the dealer.

Hopefully thats it. Its going to be expensive as well. You have to buy a whole TB to get it. There isnt a replacement. for it.

That happened to me about a month ago. I have a post on it somewhere, they replaced the entire throttle body under warranty. according to the service ticket, I drove in with 101k drove out with 92k. How many miles do you have?
Based on the code, it sounds like it's an easy fix if the dealer replaces the TB, based on what you said...sounds like a tranny issue. That's what happed to tranny 2-4. 5 has been holding up
