I had this coupled with the "Trans Failsafe" warning. The problem was a bad DSC module and a bas speed sensor. The DSC unit is expensive +/- $1300. I tried to get it rebuilt, but the rebuilt DSC still failed. That being said, do your research. There are a myriad of problems that cause the vehicle to go into limp mode.
