Yep that is all correct. Just the trans fail-safe light! And, not sure if it's related, unplugging the MAF keeps the engine running.

The nut was tight already, but tightened it more and disconnected battery (positive and negative terminals in boot, positive in engine bay).

And STILL the trans fail-safe error.

I couldn't locate the procedure you did- could you tell me?

Also, I thought the fact my Engine runs after the MAF is disconnected could mean the MAF is causing the trans fail-safe? Or will trans fail-safe mode keep the engine running even if the MAF is working?
