Need help with engine

Took the wife to work today, she has a big nail in her tire. The X started idling high at red lights, right before I dropped her off, It didn't want to change gears until about 3200 rpms. And change gears hard. About a Mile from home, X started driving normal again... any ideas?

Yeah not all codes throw a light, and some only throw it when the issue has been seen enough times.

OD light flashing?

Could you "make" the transmissions shift before 3200 rpm's by lifting off the pedal?

Truck is driving just fine now. 0D light was not flashing, and I had the codes checked there were no codes. I did find a cracked radiator and replace that just now. Transmission fluid looks good. I wonder if the motor was just running hot ....

Generic code readers won't read trans codes, just FYI.
