"trans failsafe prog " ? I've checked all connections, all vacuum leads lines?
Only thing I did, was I pushed manually with my finger on throttle body flap? I doubt that could have caused this trans failsafe? I did have a code 92 "
can torque interface"

Don't know what to do? Besides that, it starts perfect, idles fines drives great except for a bit harsh shifting now that it's in this mode. Arrrrrrrrggg.
Disconnected Maf, runs horrible and rough idle, So it's NOt Maf. Is there a connector I missed or unhooked? I checked all plugs in transmission and cleaned them with electrical cleaner cause I drove through a lot of water a week ago, and thought....well, maybe....but this happened 3 days after the water and ONLY after I changed the boot?
Anyone have some input, I hate it when my baby says something's wrong and I can't help her 😫

Thanks for any input
This is mostly why you have a transfail safe code. You are not supposed to push the throttle plate on an electronic throttle body. Torque will not read the EGS computer for the trans fail safe code. You need a high end scanner like Snap On Verus or BMW scanner or take it to a dealer that can read the code with their scanner.
