Problem for Hyundai 1997 Elantra

Automatic transmission downshifts at innapropriate times




By bnielson954 on Mar 04, 2009

" "
driving at a constant speed, my 1997 hyundai elantra just decides it's time to downshift. The engine roars and the transmission slows the car down dramatically. At one point I thought it was a short in the ignition switch and changed that out. This seemed to help somewhat for the last year or so, but it happened again tonight. I saw a list of a bunch of transmission error codes the last time...don't remember them all.

This time I got error codes p0712 and p0717 - no check engine light for any of this.

Clarification Request
