Hello and Thanks,
I have a
Mazda 3 2008.5 GT 2.3L Auto with about 150,000km on it.
All of a sudden I started seeing the
AT light go on and it would drop gears from 5 to 3, this happen seldom and I will point out it was cold outside -10 C
I brought it to a transmission place to talk about it in the town I was in at the time and they hooked it up to the machine and it gave a code of
P0841

When I got back home I bought it to the local transmission they advised this is a common issue and to just move the Transmission Console Module as it will get to hot where it is located.
They moved it and this seems to work for about a week.
I was found that the warming the weather the worst it is.
I have not been back to the Transmission Shop as I have moved and there is only a Canadian Tire around here.
Now that the temp is warming a bit it is getting alot worst
Sometimes it will not show any gears and seems to be in a safe mode of Gear 3 or 4.
Or it will drop from 5 to 3 on the highway like before but much more often
I have a feeling that just replacing the
Transmission Control Module will resolve the issue but i hear of horror stories of shops replacing the whole transmission
What does everything thing is the issue?
Thanks
Wes
