Yeah, got the p0730 code (not showing, only pending when scanned). Reset it, unhooked the battery, reconnected it and got it home since I wasnt far away. Would only go up to 3rd and eventually would work its way into a neutral state, even though in D.
Never had an issue before in terms of transmission. Needed an oil change and figured Id do a transmission service/fluid change since Im at 115k miles and never had it done, or have any records of it being done.
And now it only moves when i clear the code, but not for long. I had it towed to the dealer today and know they are going to deny any responsibility.

Just came across this thread. I'm throwing P200A(picture attached) code on the tcu. Car shifts normal 1st to 2nd, 2nd-3rd is stalls and thumps when it shifts, same thing 3rd-4th and car will not shift into 5th. I havn't experienced any limp modes. Anyone ever have this code?

My car had similar issues, try swapping the part listed in my post with another car that drives normally and see if this fixes your car before spending money on the new control module

Same issues with the car going into Neutral whilst in Drive..but only doing it in the regular S(Summer?) not W(Winter) mode.
Oil changed..twice, valve bodies and conductor plate cleaned.

I received the following codes and my car is at the shop waiting for them to change out the conductor plate. When I accelerate I hear a loud whine but not sure where it's coming from. Soon afterwards it goes to limp mode and cannot shift until I turn off the car and then back on. Any suggestions?

My car wont shift out of 2nd gear. I had issues a few months ago and replaced the conductor plate and now am having transmission problems but the issue is different. Before I heard a loud pitched whine with no acceleration, but now the car wont shift out of 2nd automatically. I am able to manually use the paddle shifters to go to 3rd, and 4th. I'm not sure if it can be the TCU. Is the TCU easy to replace? I am not a mechanic and don't know much about cars. When the mechanic changed the conductor plate he found no metal shavings and said the fluid looked clean.

TCU is located where the passenger's feet go. Grab the carpet up under the dash and pull it back, there is a metal plate under there with 2 modules, one is the TCU. So yes they are easy to replace. There should be an instructions pdf or something somewhere on Eurocharged's site to help. Also while you are there check and be sure that there isn't fluid on the conductors in the plug that connects to the tcu. Some craziness can happen where the fluid works its way up the wiring harness from the transmission and goes all the way in the car to the TCU plug. This happens when a rubber o-ring seal goes bad down at the transmission in a white plug on passenger side.

Ok guys this happened to me today kinda' I was going onto the highway and punched it to gain highway speeds and it totally went into neutral on me. I mean C/S/M, steering control, shift knob control 1,2,3,4,D into neutral and back to D nothing at all. I had to pull over put it into park and back into D to be able to move under my own power. Should I be looking at something crazy or was it just maybe a symptom of a cooler day than average or a one time fluke.
Any advice would be appreciated.

I am suffering from exactly the same probs of shifting between 2nd & 3rd gear in my 2004 E55, pls let me know fr where to start inspecting as I have had almost the same coding#. Also, they told first to replace the CGW computer so they could diagnose the vehicle SYS's properly. As the CGW is giving the right after reading through.
