Hmmmmm.  I got a similar code on our Explorer ("The Trout Wagon"). 
 Apparently a connector on the torque converter lock up.  I was told by 
one person "no problem, $2100 and away you go."  He was smiling when he 
said that.  Apparently a new tranny is $3300.
I love LBC's!!!!!  Sooooo simple.
Good luck,
Dave
