bad PCM?

I have a 2001 f250 and I was getting on the Highway this morning and all the sudden my truck down shifted into 2nd and it was stuck in 2nd, I pulled over and put it in park and the truck reved up to 2500 rpms and stayed their on it's own. I crawled home with it and checked for codes and its clean, I have no idea why it did that and it runs fine now but I don't want to risk that happening again, could it be a PCM

Probably not the PCM.

Any idea what it could be, it started by kicking out of overdrive then it dropped to second. It shifts fine now

Isn't that the main PCM? I thought there's a separate brain for the PSOM. What does the main PCM do and how do you check it, if there no obvious damage to it?

Nevermind I didn't see the 2001 part.
