It then throws up a engine light (seems like when it's down-shifting to speed up)code and will not shift. At stops it then takes forever to get to speed again as it's in that high gear. Once you are up to speed it is fine. When I clear the code with my scanner everything is fine again until we go on long trips. It seems to ONLY happen when IN CRUISE. Local mechanic says the transmission control module is bad. Just want any other opinions on if it could be something more simple before I would have him change it out as it is going to be about $1200.

Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Oct 7, 2018, 8:02 AM Post #4 of 4 (1223 views) Re: 2012 Equinox transmission issue Sign In Yes, it is vague. It is simply a flag to inform you that there are more specific codes stored in the Transmission Control Module. Your generic code reader cannot read them. You will need a professional scan tool capable of accessing the TCM. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
