Hey All,
It's been a while since I've been on. Last week my wife's car suddenly had a check engine light and a the AT light turn on. The dash when shift gears does not indicate which gear the shifter is in. Plus when shifting from Park to Reverse, it makes a big jerk. The code was U0101 - Failure to connect with TCM.
So after doing tons of reasearch and asking around, it highly looks the the issue has to do with a faulty TCM (Transmission Control Module) on her 08 Mazda. Now I'm just 95% sure that this is culprit and if i fix this, it should be fine again but again the TCM is pretty pricey even at the affiliated dealers with the discount.
So it's just a long shot if anyone has one lying around that I can try to put into her car to test it before I purchase it. I'm more than willing to pay you something as it's better than the $170 something that Mazda of Brampton quoted me for diagnosing the problem...
Let me know
Thanks
Ben
