The shop implied its going to need a PCM reprogram or replacement.

Apparently the PCM isn't talking to the TCM to shift from 1 to 2. Hopeful it's a simple reprogram rather than a replacement.

Does anyone know where to find full content of the technical service bulletin? Does it include the problem announcement and the fix? Thanks.
