Reported at 59,276 miles, February 2010 CrashInjury

I own a 2006 toyota corolla. The check engine light came on in the middle of driving but I did not notice any issues. The following day the car started shifting hard when I accelerated while driving. I took the car in for an oil change and they ran a diagnostic test and the code came back p2716: shift solenoid valve slt/range. I researched the code and found many forums with people having the same issues and the problem being the ECM.
