You need to get something that will pull the codes out of the TCM. Is the trans going into limp mode when this code pops up?

Low voltage could be a problem.

check your batteries for good connections and if they are good. I had the same problem and traced it back to one bad battery. my tcm and ecm would loose communication while cranking
