That's when things went dowhill with mine, it wasn't by a notification, it was because of a CEL. Knowing what I know now I would not have replaced and recalibrated. I've put almost 2,000 miles since my sensor replacement and the truck runs nothing like it did prior to the replacement. Mileage is down almost 2 mpg in town and 3-4 on the highway. Met a guy in a fast food parking lot today who's 17,000 mile truck just had the sensor replace and recalibration who is experiencing the same things, erratic shifting, noisy operation, mileage and power reduced.
Hope yours goes better Fontana. If you proceed with it please report back. Thanks and good luck.

I did get a bit nervous as I was playing hooky from work. I really needed to get to my office and spent 3 hours waiting for a fix that they caused. In the end all is well.

My dealer also did a an update when I dropped it off. When I test drove the truck the CEL was on. I scanned it and the code was P202C. The dealer said they had to do some updates. My fingers are crossed that I will be OK.
