Sorry for the long delay... In early Jan, I started looking at it again, started car, same relay chattering, moved it in the garage, shut if off and later restarted. Chattering relay has stopped and car shifts fine ever since. No codes in TCU but ECU still reads 17 (VSS) which was replaced because of an earlier problem, Thought code wound reset, but after 2 months of use, still there. Can runs fine for now, and since you guys have been so helpful in the past, did not want to leave the post un finished.. Thanks Nick

Our pleasure. You can disconnect the battery for 10 minutes to reset the code.

Please tell all of your friends about us.

Closing thread.
