Any other symptoms? -
Unfortunately there is no much information on that code on the factory service manual and I have never had that code before.
According to the manual, start by checking he transmission fluid level and condition. If the fluid is OK, you need to remove the transmission pan and check if there is debris on the pan. Debris on the pan is an indication that the transmission is failing.I suggest to start by changing the transmission fluid and clearing the code.
