Did you get the code from a OBD2 Scanner? What was the number?

the OBD scanner has the following error messages
1. P2001 ETC-ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION CONTROL-faulty
2. ESM- ELECTRONIC SELECTOR MODULE -faulty.

I believe the ESM is the gear shift leaver and the ETC is under the passenger side carpet (on left hand drive models I assume it would still be on the passenger side for right hand drive models)
Did you happen to spill a drink near the shifter recently?
