First I must thank you all for the insight and information! We took the car into the dealer and explained what had transpired. They understood immediately, and flashed the DTM and re-programmed. The work order lists the cause as "DTC loss of prime, volume index out of range (air in system from service) "Performed quick learn and re-programmed"
Now I wonder..did the guy servicing the filter start it up before the trans was full?? In any case, I'm pleased that the wife's "baby" is healed, albeit the extra $90 charge does grate on me a bit, but less than a rebuild! I hope other owners don't have this occurance, and if so, I hope this info can help.
Again, Thank You!
