Hi there. The major problem with ECU’s is that they don’t forget stored codes unless instructed to do so. This means that if you were getting this error code; which might be something wrong with the transmission control valve for the gear position sensor, or a compatibility problem between the different computers and the new transmission. In most cases it’s best to have the TCM and ECU reprogrammed when you have a new transmission installed to ensure you clear old codes and give your new transmission the best potential for success.
