Help-any ideas-No Go in D.
My 97 Audi A4 Quattro 2.8L 12V (128K)with a auto 5speed (5hp19FLA CJP ZF Transmission) has a problem starting out in D (Drive). Here's the Situation: Weeks back when it was -25 degrees here in Duluth my wife was leaving the parking garage downtown after her shift. She put the car in Drive and it wouldn't go, and the Shift indicator window was backlit instead of frontlit. She turned the car off and then turned it back on and it was frontlit. Then she drove it home to our heated Garage.
It drives from a complete stop in 2, however it won't drive in D. If you start out in 2 and drive you can put it in D and it will operate normally until you come to a stop.
Got the Diagnostic codes DTC from Foreign affairs it said: Gearbox speed sensor-00297 (G38)and 00256-brake light switch. Foreign affairs wanted 3500 for a tranny with 100k miles on it , NO Way.
I ordered a new gearbox speed sensor and in stalled it along with new ATF Fluid and Filter(Inspection of the pan and magnets were that less then a tea spoon of metal everything looked good). All Oem i got from Eric in Ironwood. I'm confident that I installed everything correctly. I drove it last night and it still has the same problem. I then disconnected the battery overnight thinking it might reset the code, however this morning when it drove it the same problem occured.
The tranny isn't slipping, it pullsin all gears. Any feedback is greatly welcomed.

I used the Audi/VW Pentosin ATF. I haven't got it coded as of when i completed the job. 80 bucks a pop. Do you need a Vag/com to reset the code for the Tranny? Thanks

Im not sure that disonnecting the battery clears TCU codes like it does with the ECU. I would def get ahold of vag com or take it to the dealer to have the codes cleared. Generic scanners like what Autozone uses dont communicate with the TCU I dont think. If that code is still being stored, it would keep you in tranny limp mode-which is what is happening.

Just do a full scan in vag com.. It will scan all the control modules, etc. including the TCU. Write down any fault codes for future reference,and then have them cleared. Since you had the battery disconnected, a throtle body adaptation should be donethrough vag com too. The procedure on how to do that with vag comis found here: http://www.ross-tech.com/vag-com/cars/audiB5.html

Check with a vagcom as above. Your tranny was in limp mode. I don't believe that generic OBD scanners will read codes from the TCU.
When in LIMP mode only 4th gear and reverse work.
My TCU was giving me checksum errors (ie the internal chip was failing).
