The code went way could it have been a computer glitch. If it happens again it will get checked for a bad connection or another cause. I might change the Torque converter to a higher stall to relieve pressure on the transmission

Had this on a 2007 toyota avalon twice. It was a faulty wire on the 'wiring harness'. Only found that after buying a new shift pack and almost buying a new computer. Just 50 cents of wiring replaced. Transmissions!
