Its a governor pressure sensor code. What exactly are the symptoms??? What is the transmission doing??

It doesent seem like anything is wrong I used my auto scanner to retrieve and delete the code but it just keeps coming back on. It didnt come on until I took it through a car wash but the tranny seem to shift fine and the motor runs fine so I dont know what to do to fix it so the light will stay off

You won’t necessarily “feel” anything with a transmission trouble code. It might make a difference if you had the transmission fluid and filter changed, especially, if they have never been changed.

Make sure any electrical connectors to the tranny are clean and dry.

The governor pressure sensors and transducers in these transmissions are a very common failure. Have you had them changed before??
