So anyone have any issues with the transmission on a cold day when first started?
The other day it was 6 degrees out, van started flawlessly but the CEL light popped on right away. I checked the code it was P17... I think the last part was 03 so P1703 from what I looked up it said it was a transmission failed to shift 1-2 error. After letting it warm up for a minute I took off in manual 1st and when I went to shift it would light up 2cnd in the display but would just rev out. When I came to a complete stop it would downshift to 1st and work fine but when I tried for second same thing.
After I got it back into my parking lot it was going into second but took its time. But third did the same thing. Once I noticed the Temperature gauge was starting to register I shut the van down and restarted. Once restarted the transmission worked flawlessly.
I guess the issue was related to the cold and it not wanting to shift properly.
