Default Mine did the same, pulled codes said something about improbable response

or something like that (don't remember exactly) under the transmission settings. Took it in to dealership (still under warranty) and they said a switch was bad and they had to order a circuit card for the tranny (not sure how a switch requires a circuit card to be replaced). Mine still seemed to work ok in drive but would not shift into tiptronic mode with the stick or the paddles. Hope this helps.

Default Re: thanks for the info... Car is fine today. I called the dealer and he said

the problem has to be constant for them to pull the code. I was on ice at the time it happened so maybe that was the issue.

Default Yeah, it should store the code. My problem went away and came back...

and went away. Finally I took it in for the 45K service and had them check it. That was when they found the bad switch/circ. card. The problem wasn't there when I took it in but they could still read the code.
