if the gearbox light is showing you need to get the fault codes out of the tcm (transmission control module) to help diagnose the problem, the jatco auto gearboxes on these cars are very troublesome have replaced many in the past. take a sample of the fluid from the level plug. (small plug centre of drain plug) and see if it smells burnt if so the gearbox needs rebuilding or renewing. hope this helps.
THE CAR DRIVES FINE BUT THEN SOME TIMES WHILST CHANGING FROM 1ST GEAR TO 2ND IT SLIPS SLIGHTLY BUT STILL CHANGES, ON THE LONG RUN THE CAR IS FINE AND ENGAGES ALL GEARS
By plugging the GPS into the cigar lighter socket only takes power from the vehicle electronic circuit and is not connected to the vehicle engine management system, so i dont see how it can be connected. iSeeing as it is putting on the warning display it would be wise to get the car tested for faults using an OBD2/CAN reader, this should shed more light on the problem. Most mechanics have this reader .Hope that helps
The only thing that will cause a cruise control fault is a loose vacuum hose ussually on the breather hose coming from the valve cover in front to the throttle body. As for the remainder, shut off the car and restart to get you home and avoid the limp home mode. That in itself is an electronic fault in the ground system. Check you coils or replace them with a new set of plugs (autolite double platinum recommendes.) Clean any grounds you may have and then start you engine. You will notice there is no problem then. Run a diagnostic tool to see if there is any fault with grounded sensors like the O2 to keep that from happening again. Don't get the tranny replaced cause thats all the dealership wants to do and charge you $5k. Its not the actual cause. Good luck and let us know if there is anything else we can do here at fixya.
It sounds like the tranny is over heating, you might want to have the tranny check by a pro. Way to complex to work on with out experience and training.
Check under the driver side fuse box which below left of the steering wheel if there is any dampness then it s screwing the ecu,this could be due to a seal leak in the window or holes near the axle.ALso the transmission needs fluid to be change as most jag trans fluid need replacing before 75k, clearing the codes will clear the engine light which also improve the cars shifting.
