    Disconnect both battery cables from the battery. Touch the two cables together for about 30 seconds (gets rid of the little charge left), this takes a little effort. Leave the cables off over night. Reconnect the cables in the morning, and your problem will be solved. Post back again once you do this.

    The Chad,

    What is your logic behind doing this?? Please let me know your thoughts.

    Thanks,

    Someone suggested it in the past. And heck it's free. He gave it a try and for some reason it did the trick. Probably reset the pcm or cleared a code in the end. But it fixed the issue for at least one person. Sometimes the oddest sounding things are worth a try when free and if they work, it's worth repeating.

    I gotta be honest and say I don't know exactly why it works! It's kind of like the "turning it off and turning it back on" trick that works with so many other things, seems to reset the control. Whatever it is, it's worked with my car about a week ago, and has worked with other GTP owners in the past.

    This only seems to work whenever there are no codes present, meaning that there isn't anything worthy of throwing a code. This situation occurs with other vehicles also. I'd like to know in detail why it works, but haven't found anything yet. Does Trannyman know? (... Trannyman is always watching, waiting for the best moment to strike!)
