| Description of the problem | My wife was driving our 2008 nissan pathfinder when her service engine soon and 4wd warning light came on while pulling up to an intersection. When she pulled away from the intersection the vehicle moved very slowly and would no longer shift. After shutting the vehicle off it would not start again. A transmission shop has tested the transmission fluid and found glycol contamination from the transmission cooler that has shorted the transmission control module. The vehicle requires a complete transmission rebuild, new tcm and a radiator bypass to remedy the problem. Total cost will be approximately $4000. |
