Electronics are enough to make you cry, sometimes. In your particular transmission, I think you have eight or 10 control modules acting on it. Each control module is a computer. That’s in addition to the ECM (engine control module — the mastercomputer) and the TCM (transmission control module). And, then there are the sensors, like the MAP (Mass Air Pressure) and MAF (Mass Air Flow), in addition to the TPS (Throttle Positioning Sensor) and on and on.

From the sound of it, I think it is more than likely the TCM that has gone bad, although, if your engine is performing poorly, it could be the ECM, though I don’t think that’s the case or you’d be telling me about it, too.

I hate to suggest starting over, but, here’s what I would do. I would go back to square one, insert the OBD-II probe and get a new analysis run. Then, look for any of the following codes that might point where the problem lies. I know there are a lot of numbers, but I think it will help you find the problem, or at least you have a start here and if you need a few dozen more codes I can find them for you. Keep me in the loop. Here’s the list:
